Three persons sustained injuries in a clash between two communities today near the Karbala at south Delhi's Jor Bagh, which has witnessed a long-standing property dispute.
The incident took place around 11.30 AM when three persons in the locality went for a walk at the park adjacent to the shrine and a few devotees at the Karbala stopped them claiming that their entry to the park was prohibited, said police.
The three persons, facing allegations of trespassing, soon called some other locals and both communities allegedly resorted to stone-pelting, following which three persons were injured, said police.
The matter came under control only when the police intervened.
"Legal action has been initiated in connection with today's incident and security has been beefed up in the area," a senior police official said.
The police have also urged the peace committee in the area to ensure that law and order is not disrupted, the official added.
