Ujjain: In the aftermath of the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel statue demolition in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, authorities have arrested 19 individuals linked to the clash between two groups. Following the incident, a substantial police presence has been deployed to ensure peace in the area. The clash erupted after unknown persons pulled down the statue, leading to stone-throwing between two communities. Presently, the situation is described as calm, with markets open in Makadon, and law enforcement is maintaining a vigilant watch over the region.

Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP-Rural) Nitish Bhargava confirmed that those arrested are facing charges of rioting and obstructing public servants from performing their duties. A case has been registered against 53 individuals from both groups in connection with the statue's fall, and 22 people have been detained for questioning.
