LONDON: A brawl broke out between Muslim youths and Hindus at a Holika Dahan celebration in Harrow on Tuesday night after three teenagers forcefully stopped the music at the event. The violence led to the arrest of a 14-year-old boy.
The International Siddhashram Shakti centre held the event in Harrow civic centre car park, opposite Harrow Central Mosque. Dignitaries, including mayors and councillors, were among around 1,000 guests at the event, which began at 7 pm and included a puja and ceremonial lighting of the Holika fire.
