According to the local administration, a second survey by an “Advocate Commissioner” as part of a court-ordered examination into the disputed site began around 7 am and a crowd began gathering at the spot.
“Some miscreants came out of the crowd gathered near the site and pelted stones at the police team. The police used minor force and tear gas to bring the situation under control,” Superintendent of Police Krishna Kumar Vishnoi said.
The police official said those who engaged in stone pelting and those who incited them will be identified and action taken against them.
