Police had to fire in air to disperse a violent mob during a raid at an illegal liquor-making unit at Ganpatpura village near here late this evening, a senior official said.
The village is 15 km from here.
A mob of around 300 people gathered and started pelting stones at a police team which was conducting raid at a hooch manufacturing unit at the village, said Superintendent of Police Saurabh Tolumbia.
Two constables were injured in the stone-pelting and the police fired four rounds in air in self-defence, he said.
The situation was now under control and senior police officers have reached the spot, he added.
