Twenty office-bearers of a right wing organisation were arrested here on Sunday for unlawfully taking out a religious procession and brandishing deadly weapons allegedly with intent to breach the peace, police said. When the police foiled their bid to continue the procession, the workers of HRD attacked the police party and damaged their vehicles by pelting stones, Patil said. Upon instigation of HRD president Bhupendra Chowdhary the workers, some of them brandishing swords and pistol, attacked the police team and pelted stones, injuring some policemen, he added. The SP said police soon baton-charged the crowd to control the “violent” situation. Police are identifying other workers who were involved in the episode and nab them, he added.
