As per the report the altercation took place between Jaleesh Ahmed and Salim Qureshi, residents of Dhaura Tanda village in Bhojipura, Bareilly, UP.<\/p>\n<p>Jaleesh Ahmed had given his shop on rent to Salim Qureshi on the condition that meat will be sold in the shop &#8220;legally&#8221;. On the day of the altercation, it was alleged that Qureshi allegedly inflated the price of cow meat to Rs 250\/kg from Rs 150, which led to a dispute. Ahmed asked Qureshi to vacate the place, and the people of the Banjara community physically assaulted Qureshi, after which Qureshi&#8217;s family members reached the spot with licensed as well as illegal weapons. They fired in the open, causing a stampede. Ahmed belonged to the Banjara community.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-120214 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/06\/2022-06-13-11_30_47-Confrontation-In-Two-Sides-Of-The-Same-Community-In-Dhauratanda-Firing-\u092c\u0930\u0947\u0932\u0940\u0903.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"701\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/06\/2022-06-13-11_30_47-Confrontation-In-Two-Sides-Of-The-Same-Community-In-Dhauratanda-Firing-\u092c\u0930\u0947\u0932\u0940\u0903.jpg 701w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/06\/2022-06-13-11_30_47-Confrontation-In-Two-Sides-Of-The-Same-Community-In-Dhauratanda-Firing-\u092c\u0930\u0947\u0932\u0940\u0903-279x300.jpg 279w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We also found a police statement on the matter.
