Prohibitory orders under IPC section 144 have been imposed in the Ragi Gudda area of Karnataka's Shivamogga following communal tensions on Sunday.
The clashes broke out after a group of people started pelting stones at a religious procession.
In response, some youths hurled stones at nearby houses and vehicles. At least four people were injured in the incident.
The police resorted to lathi-charge to disperse the mob. They said that some people have been taken into custody.
