A rumour of Dalit houses being set on fire by Jats spread on Wednesday morning after which a fire tender was pressed into service. The police also intensified the patrolling in the area. SSP Subash Yadav visited the colony and urged Balmikis not to be misguided by anti-social elements who were trying to disrupt peace.

The SSP said police patrolling had been intensified and strict action would be taken against anti-social elements found spreading rumours among the two communities.
