MORADABAD: Clashes erupted on Wednesday in the Moondapande village in Moradabad after some boys allegedly molested girls of another community. One youth suffered an injury after a face-off between angry residents. Police reached the spot and the superintendent of police (city) of Moradabad, Akhilesh Bhadauria, settled the matter. The injured was rushed to the district hospital for a medical examination. A case has been registered against seven of the accused. Police have been deployed in the area to ensure peace.
Some teenage girls had gone to the fields when nearly eight to nine boys stood in their way, passing comments. The matter escalated and the relatives of the girls reached the spot. One of the accused was caught and beaten up. Since the boys and the girls belonged to two different villages and separate communities, people from both sides came face-to-face, which led to a clash. The matter was settled once cops reached the spot.
