Lucknow, Mar. 11 : Over a dozen Sunni Muslims were injured in clashes with riot police on Tuesday for taking out a religious procession here.
The clash took place after the participants defied an Uttar Pradesh Government ban religious processions.
Authorities had denied permission to hold a procession on the occasion of Eid-E-Milad-Un-Nabi, the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad, due to law and order problems.
Police resorted to baton-charge and fired tear gas shells to control the agitating mob.
