ISLAMABAD: Over a dozen people were injured in separate clashes on Monday.

In the first incident, a group raided an under-construction house and allegedly manhandled the labourers and owners. The intruders said the plot is under dispute and construction must be stopped. The armed men opened fire and three people suffered injuries.

Later the other group also reached the hospital claiming that they had also been injured and then the two groups got into another brawl which escalated to firing.

In another incident, two groups got into a fight in Saidpur village over building of a wall. The police shifted five injured to the hospital. In this incident too, the opposing group reached the hospital and again got into a brawl.

The police arrived at the hospital and arrested over 30 people.
