Rajasthan News: On Friday, a minor altercation suddenly took a violent turn in the Dhanmandi police station area of Udaipur. The dispute started over the purchase of a lemon, but within a few hours the matter turned into a serious clash between two communities. The situation worsened so much that it reached the point of sword fight, in which two people were injured.
The incident took place at the vegetable market located at Teej Ka Chowk, where a young man had come to buy lemons. During shopping, he got into an argument with a vegetable vendor. At first there was a heated argument between the two, but the people present nearby pacified the matter by intervening.
However, after some time the same youth returned to the market again with his 4-5 companions. This time they came with swords and sticks in their hands. All the youths were masked and directly attacked the same shopkeepers with whom he had argued earlier.
The entire incident of the attack has been recorded in the CCTV cameras of the market. It can be clearly seen in the footage how the youths attacked with swords. Two shopkeepers were seriously injured in this sudden attack, who were immediately admitted to the hospital. Photos and videos of the incident are going viral on social media.

Police has deployed additional force in the market to control the situation and surveillance has been increased in sensitive areas across the region. Police officials said that the attackers involved in the case are being identified and will be arrested soon.
At present, tense peace prevails in the Dhanmandi area. There is an atmosphere of fear and resentment among the local people. The police has taken charge and every activity is being closely monitored. The district administration has appealed to the people not to pay attention to rumors and maintain peace.
The way this dispute that started over a lemon turned into violence is a serious warning not only for the administration but also for the society. The deteriorating social tolerance and increasing aggression on small issues will have to be controlled in time, so that such incidents do not recur in the future.
