Maha: Two killed, seven injured in clash between Sena, NCP workers in Buldhana

Buldhana, Oct 6 (UNI) Two persons, including a Shiv Sena corporator, were killed and seven others injured in a violent clash between two groups in Deulgaon Raja town of Maharashtra's Buldhana district , police said on Tuesday.
The deceased were identified as Anwar Sheikh, a corporator belonging to the Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), and Arif Pathan, an office-bearer of the NCP (Ajit Pawar faction). Both belonged to rival groups.
The clash occurred on Monday night near the Deulgaon Raja police station and triggered tension in the town.
According to preliminary information, members of two groups allegedly attacked each other with swords and other sharp weapons, leaving several persons injured.
The injured were shifted to the Government Hospital in Jalna for treatment, officials said.
Initial reports suggest that the violence may have stemmed from a dispute over seating arrangements during a qawwali programme held on Sunday.
The disagreement reportedly escalated and culminated in the deadly confrontation the following night.
However, police said the exact cause of the clash is still under investigation.
Following the incident, heavy police deployment was made in the area to maintain law and order.
Police are investigating the circumstances leading to the clash and are trying to identify all those involved.
