Gunfire Erupts During Ganesh Visarjan in Madhya Pradesh; Several Injured

A clash broke out during a Ganesh Visarjan procession in Maithana Pali village under Indargarh police station in Datia district on September 22. The dispute began when procession participants asked two men grazing buffaloes near the riverbank to make way for the idol immersion.

The verbal argument escalated into a physical confrontation, with both groups using sticks and clubs. Gunshots were then fired during the clash. Ajay Yadav and his uncle Vakil Yadav sustained gunshot injuries to their legs and were hospitalized. Three to four others from the opposing group were also injured.
