File photo of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh:
One person was killed, and six others injured after a clash between two groups in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur today over a morphed photo of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, which was shared on WhatsApp.
Congress corporator Jatin Raj had created a WhatsApp group named 'Vijay Nagar Friends' for people to stay connected in his locality. On that group, a man named Prashant Nayak allegedly posted a photo which showed Mrs Gandhi "washing utensils" with a caption saying (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi has reduced the Congress president to such a position, Superintendent of Police Inderjeet Balsavar told Press Trust of India.
Two groups, one of which was headed by Mr Raj, then gathered at the Ahimsa Chowk in the area and a heated argument ensued, police said.
The police then asked them to come to the police station and settle the dispute there. Police says a man was stabbed while the two groups were on their way to the police station.
However, Mr Raj's group alleges the rival group used knives inside the police station, a charge denied by the cops who had to call their colleagues from other police stations to control the situation.
