In the melee, the DYFI workers set afire the car of Vamanchachari, a VHP activist, before vandalising his jewellery outlet.

The police have registered cases under IPC Section 308 (attempt to murder) and 435 (mischief by fire explosive) against the arrested persons.

They were on the lookout for four more persons, including a minor, the senior police official said.
