A youth identified as Murali was allegedly assaulted during the clash and sustained serious injuries.
Tension erupted in Basavanagudi following a clash between two groups during an Id Milad procession on K.R. Road on Wednesday.

The trouble began when slogans were reportedly raised by a group participating in the procession.
