Honnavar, Dec 2: At least five people suffered injuries during a communal clash over temporary installation of replica of Prophet’s tomb and unfurling flags at Chandavar in Honnavar taluk of Uttara Kannada district on the eve of Eid Milad on Friday.

As a precautionary measure, the police have taken over 25 people into preventive custody and have deployed additional forces at sensitive and hyper sensitive areas. Situation continues to be tense, though it is under control, said the police.

It is learnt that a peace committee meeting organised by the police recently had adopted a resolution against temporary installation of replica of Prophet's tomb within 20 metres radius of Chandavar circle.

A few youths violated the resolution and attempted to unfurl the green colour flag. As the news spread, a group of people belonging to saffron outfits rushed there and installed a pole with a saffron colour flag which led to tension, said the police.

Soon, a large number of people gathered at the circle. Situation went out of control after BJP leader Suraj Naik came to the circle and claimed that a few miscreants had stoned his car at Sultankere.

Sensing the danger, the police directed people to move away from the circle, but there was response to the direction. The police caned the mob to control situation. The police clarified that there has been no complaint over the incident.
