The police sources say that someone threw a stone when prayers were being offered which lead to a clash between the two groups. The environment was tense because of Ijtema organized by the Tablighi Jamaat earlier in the week. Barelvis objected to the speeches made in the Ijtema and this tension spilled over on Wednesday.

Muslim threw stones at each others, at least two motorcycles and a few road side shops were torched.
