On Sunday, people protesting against the CAA pelted stones at the police following which security personnel fired tear gas shells, said District Magistrate (DM), Chandrabhushan Singh.

"Protestors pelted stones at police vehicles so the police had to resort to teargas to disperse them," Singh told ANI here.

PV Ramasastry, ADG Law and Order said that the stone pelting started after a rumour that the police were arresting protesters.
