The bandh was called to protest against ransacking of an amusement park here following a clash between two groups of people on Tuesday and brickbatting during a rally on August 10, VHP's Kolhan in-charge Suman Agarwal said earlier.
However, it was called off following following a meeting between East Singhbhum district police officials headed by Senior Superintendent of Police Akhilesh Kumar Jha and VHP and Bajrang Dal leaders late tonight, official sources said.
The police said they have arrested altogether 20 persons in connection with the amusement park incident on Tuesday when a mob ransacked an amusement park and beat up its employees injuring six persons.
One more person was arrested over brick-batting near district headquarter during a protest rally on August 10 taken out by the minority community in protest against incidents of Assam and Myanmmar.
