Bloody clash between two groups in Viramgam over bursting firecrackers

A verbal spat between two groups over the trivial matter of bursting firecrackers during the Diwali festival took a violent turn in Gujarat's Viramgam town. According to a report by Sandesh, this dispute eventually escalated into a murderous clash, leaving two persons seriously injured.

The incident occurred in the area outside Bharwadi Darwaja in Viramgam town. Some people were bursting firecrackers on the road, which led to an argument. While the friction initially appeared ordinary, the situation deteriorated rapidly. Both groups launched lethal attacks on each other using sharp-edged weapons, turning the festival of joy into mourning.

The two individuals who sustained serious injuries in the attack were immediately rushed to the local government hospital. Primary treatment was administered there, but as their condition remained critical and serious, doctors referred them to a hospital in Ahmedabad for advanced treatment.

Upon receiving information about the incident, a contingent from the Viramgam Town Police Station immediately reached the spot and the hospital. The police have registered a case in this matter and intensified the investigation to identify and apprehend the assailants. This violence during the festive days has raised concerns and questions regarding security among local citizens.
