Children's Cricket Match Turns Into Village Violence In Haryana: WATCH
A minor cricket dispute in Haryana's Yamunanagar spiraled into a violent village clash, with child abduction and assault allegations adding fuel to an already tense rivalry.
What began as a petty argument during a children's cricket match spiralled into full-blown violence in Haryana's Yamunanagar district, leaving several injured and the village on edge.
According to police, the clash was triggered by a long-standing rivalry between two local groups. The immediate cause: a minor scuffle during a game that quickly reignited old tensions. What followed was a violent confrontation involving sticks, stones, and chaos, turning the village into what locals described as a "battleground".
Serious Allegations From Both Sides
One group has accused the other of abducting a child, while the rival faction has countered with claims of harassment of women. Police say the previous day, the two sides had a heated argument over an unrelated issue that residents referred to as a "toum" — a local term for verbal dispute. That disagreement appears to have laid the groundwork for the violence that erupted the next day.
Four to five people have been detained so far. They're currently being questioned as police try to piece together the full story behind the flare-up.
Heavy Police Presence In The Village
In response to rising communal tension, a large contingent of police has been deployed to maintain order and prevent further violence. Authorities are investigating all angles, including the alleged kidnapping, misconduct allegations, and the possibility that the fight stemmed from an older feud.
The situation remains tense, but under control, as police continue a detailed probe into the sequence of events that pushed a small village cricket match into dangerous territory.
