Datia (MP), Sep 13: Five people were killed and eight others seriously injured after two groups opened fire at each other over grazing of domestic animals in Madhya Pradesh’s Datia district on Wednesday, a police official said.
The shootout between members of the Dangi and Pal communities took place around 9 am at Renda village in the district, which is the home turf of state home minister Narottam Mishra.
Citing the initial probe, Datia SP Pradeep Sharma said there was an altercation between one Prakash Dangi and Preetam Pal over the grazing of animals three days ago. Members of the two communities again faced off and engaged in a shootout, which left five dead and eight injured, he said. (PTI)
