Dehradun SSP Ajay Singh explained that the girl had a missing report filed in Badaun, and the police were alerted to her location.
SSP Ajay Singh added, “Upon interrogation, it was found that it was a matter related to Hindu-Muslim or different communities. Following this some people gathered and got into an argument. Police reached the spot. There were also attempts at stone pelting and some vehicles were also vandalised.”
