Tension prevailed in Ranchi on Tuesday after members of two communities clashed over an 'objectionable song'.
According to police, the songs were being played on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti in the Main Road area. The members of a community objected to the songs which led to a minor scuffle between the two communities.
Police rushed to the spot and tried to control the situation.
Hundreds of people of a community continued the protest by blocking roads. Police used tear gas shells and resorted to cane-charge to disperse the mob.
By evening, the situation was under control but tense. Shops were closed in Main Road area -- the business hub of the city.
