It was alleged that the convoy was pelted with stones and when it reached near the RLD office, party workers protested against them by waving flags, leading to an argument between the two sides.

The matter was brought under control by police who rushed to the spot.

On the basis of the photography done by police, the culprits will be identified and strict action will be taken against them, the SHO added.
