New Delhi: A group of people, allegedly ‘Kanwariyas’, vandalised what appears to be a police car in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad, NDTV reported.

Footage showed a crowd of people holding sticks and baseball bats smashing a Mahindra Bolero with a siren and 'Police' written on it.

They attacked the car after the vehicle allegedly grazed a 'kanwariya'.

The Ghaziabad Police however reportedly said the car was a private vehicle, belonging to the Power Corporation Vigilance.

Police also said that the car driver Avnish Tyagi, drove the Bolero in the reserved lane and he has been taken into custody alongside seizing the car.

The visuals of the incident, which occurred near the Duhai metro station, showed the crowd smashing the car’s headlights and windshields before pushing to its right side. No one was inside the car, visuals showed.

The police said the matter has been resolved and a probe is underway.

Kanwariyas as part of their pilgrimage collect water from a river and carry it hundreds of kilometres to offer it to the Lord Shiva shrines.

Kanwar Yatra takes places usually between July and August, which is known to be a period of worship, fasting and pilgrimage dedicated to the Lord Shiva.
