Nahan, Oct 28 (UNI) Police have arrested 11 people in connection with the violent clash between two communities at Valmiki Chowk in Nahan on October 23, which left several people, including police personnel, injured and resulted in damage to public and private property.
Sirmaur Superintendent of Police N S Negi said the accused would be produced before a court on Wednesday, with police seeking their remand for further questioning as the investigation gathers pace.
The police have intensified the probe to establish the sequence of events, identify other alleged other individuals involved in the incident and determine their alleged roles in the violence, Negi said.
Five of the arrested accused are residents of Balmiki Mohalla in Nahan. They have been identified as Vasu (37), Shivraj (29), Vidha Sagar alias Rahul (31), Aryan (19) and Aryaveer alias Adi. The police statement did not specify Aryaveer's age.

Appealing for calm, the Sirmaur district police urged residents to maintain peace and communal harmony and not fall prey to rumours or circulate unverified or inflammatory content on social media.
The police also called on the public to cooperate with the administration to prevent further tension and maintain law and order in the area.
