Tension gripped the Rein Bazaar area in the Old City on Sunday night after a large crowd gathered to protest against communal content posted on a social media account.
Some people noticed the post on the account of a man named Thakur and approached the police to lodge a complaint against him. The number of people swelled as the news spread, raising concerns about a potential law and order breakdown.
Additional reinforcements, including a Task Force team, were rushed to the spot.
