Bhainsa riots are being probed impartially: official

The Telangana Police on Tuesday rejected allegations of the Bharatiya Janata Party that cases have been foisted upon youth of a particular community, even as they maintained that only those who were involved have been arrested in the Bhainsa riots case.

Communal trouble began in Bhainsa Town on March 7, at the Zulfiqar Galli in the town when youths of different communities indulged in stone pelting, which led to a larger communal riot. Explaining the chronology of events which led to the conflagration, Inspector General of Police, North Zone, Y. Nagi Reddy said that on March 7, two two-wheeler borne youths belonging to a community, and connected to a right wing group, and riding near a mosque in Zulfiqar Galli allegedly hit another youth from a different community, who was walking with two of his friends. The latter then went looking for the two-wheeler borne youth in Batti Galli where they were allegedly attacked by the two youth and two of their associates, all of whom are connected to the right wing group.
