A brief but tense altercation erupted at the revered Vindhyavasini Temple in Mirzapur on Tuesday when two groups of devotees engaged in a physical confrontation inside the temple complex. The sudden clash broke the otherwise steady flow of pilgrims and created a momentary scare among worshippers present at the shrine.

According to police, the dispute began as a verbal argument between the two groups, escalating quickly into pushing and physical assault.

Officers detained one devotee identified as an active participant in the fight, bringing the situation under control before it could intensify further.

Police officials said they are examining the circumstances that triggered the clash and will take additional measures to prevent similar disturbances at the temple.
