An Adivasi group protesting the subject of forced conversions in Narayanpur convened a conference. A heated argument between two opposing groups rapidly broke out. People exchanged blows while chairs and stones were thrown around. It quickly escalated into a full-fledged battle.
To stop the protests from getting out of hand, more security personnel were requested.
