We are keeping a close tab on happenings at slum areas and ensures to maintain law and order to avoid such incidents from recurring," the DCP informed.
According to police, there were frequent disputes between two groups. While a group included Rambabu, Anju, Shiva, another group consists of Venkatesh, Krishna Mohan, who had left for Hyderabad, among others.

"Among others, common violations include not wearing helmets, triple riding and open drinking which would be strictly monitored and none would be spared in this regard.
In the past three days, 3,000 cases were booked against violators for not wearing helmets alone," he warned.
