Twenty-five people were injured in clashes that broke out between two groups in Mangta village here in Kanpur Dehat district, police said on Friday.
Eleven people were arrested after the violence on Thursday during the ‘Bhim Shobha Yatra’, taken out by members of the Scheduled Caste community after the Bhim Katha, which began on February 8.

The injured were admitted to Ursula Horsman Memorial Hospital in Kanpur, the police said.
