Four persons died while 14 others were injured on Tuesday in a clash between two groups at the border of Alwar and Bharatpur districts of Rajasthan, even as the police failed to register an FIR stating that the incident did not take place under their jurisdiction.

The warring groups had resorted to firing leading to the death of three persons, said Nemi Chand, Station House Officer of Nadbai in Bharatpur district. A person later succumbed to injuries, taking the toll to four, he said. The injured have been admitted to a hospital, police added.

According to the police, the groups clashed over a piece of land. However, no case has been registered in the incident as the police in the border districts of Alwar and Bharatpur are unable to figure out the exact location where the incident took place.

Alwar SP Rahul Prakash said the incident took place in Nadbai police jurisdiction in Bharatpur. “So a case will be registered there itself,” he said.

On the other hand, Bharatpur police control room said the incident took place in Alwar district.
