Shops and businesses remained closed in Sangareddy district on Tuesday, a day after tension erupted in Daulatabad mandal during a procession honouring the consecration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. On Monday, a shoe was allegedly flung at the procession being taken out, leading to disturbance in the area.

Those participating in the procession located a house from where the shoe was allegedly thrown, and engaged in a heated exchange with the occupants. In rage, they proceeded to burn the fruit shop belonging to the family. An earth mover at the location was also vandalised.

Concerned for the safety of the family involved, police have relocated them to a safer place and imposed Section 144 in certain sensitive areas. They are investigating the details surrounding the disturbance during the procession.

Police imposed Section 144 in Daulatabad of Sangareddy district on January 22.
