650 booked for clash in Meerut over cow slaughter

The cases were registered under different sections of IPC, police said, adding that no arrest, however, has been made so far.

The situation at the village is tense but under control and senior police officials are patrolling the violence-hit region, they said.

A clash had broken out between two communities on Saturday night over reports of cow slaughter here.

Violence had erupted after supporters of three arrested youths reached the house of complainants last night and opened fire, they said.

The youths, belonging to a particular community, were arrested earlier yesterday on charges of cow slaughter, police said.
