District superintendent of police Sandeep Kumar said two groups clashed with guns and sharp weapons over an alleged incident of eve-teasing.
Singh rushed to the spot with an additional force to control the situation. "When they refused to back down, we fired three rounds in the air, which scattered the mob. No one was injured. We have arrested 24 persons and recovered a gun and swords from them," he told PTI.
