Medak: Tension prevailed at the Toopran Police Station on Tuesday as relatives of a man and his wife clashed on the premises, forcing the police to resort to a lathi charge to bring the situation under control.
According to police, Jyothi of Allapur in Toopran mandal was married to Udaykiran, a resident of Rampur in Chegunta mandal, a few months ago. However, Jyothi later filed a complaint at the Toopran police station accusing her husband of harassment.
When members of both families arrived at the police station to discuss the issue on Tuesday, the argument between them soon turned violent, with members of both groups attacking each other.
