The violence broke out on Friday evening, when old disputes between two factions resurfaced. In the ensuing chaos, stones were thrown, and fire broke out, causing the death of a woman.

The deceased woman’s brother stated that the accused threw petrol on his sister during the stone pelting and set her on fire, causing her to burn alive.

This escalated into a confrontation, eventually leading to stone pelting and the tragic death of the woman.
