Though unverified by police, it has been reported that the dispute initially started due to some cars parked outside the showroom. Locals and authorities had been requesting the removal of the cars, as they were apparently creating traffic congestion and inconvenience to commuters. When no action was taken, tempers flared causing a vociferous argument. Soon enough, this verbal duel turned into a full-blown fight, with both parties throwing stones and fists.
Law enforcement agencies stepped in to regain control of the situation. Both groups are now complaining against each other, leveling allegations of instigating violence. The police are currently probing the incident; they have urged both parties to maintain calm, while stern warnings have been sounded by authorities against heightened tensions.
The incident has brought into focus existing problems pertaining to vehicle and parking management in urban areas and community safety. Residents have brought forth several complaints about inadequate vehicle parking infrastructure, which, more often than not, results in skirmishes.
