A heated altercation broke out in Chapiya, resulting in six injuries, after firecrackers were set off near a Durga Puja pandal, according to official reports.

Authorities have taken action by filing an FIR and detaining individuals to advance the investigation. The initial confrontation began when Aslam, Sultana, and Munna objected to nearby firecrackers, leading to a stone-throwing incident.

Escalating tensions prompted authorities, including the District Magistrate and the Superintendent of Police, to enforce law and order by deploying an additional police force to ensure peace and prevent further conflict.
