Those spreading anarchy will not be spared, warns Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath in the wake of the Kasganj communal violence.
Strict action will be taken against the perpetrators of violence, the chief minister added.
Meanwhile, a magisterial inquiry has been ordered to probe the violence that erupted in Kasganj last week, the police said on Tuesday.
A Special Investigation Team has also been constituted to probe the incidents, said Sanjeev Kumar, inspector general of Aligarh.
One person was killed and two others injured after a clash broke out between two groups during the 'Tiranga Yatra' in Kasganj city on Republic day.
Both the groups reportedly pelted stones at each other and also fired gunshots.
As of now, 32 people have been arrested on charges of murder in connection with the case.
"32 people have been sent to jail so far under charges of murder. Besides them, 51 people have been detained", said the IG.
