Khargone: Police here in Madhya Pradesh have registered a case against unidentified persons after a video of a purported call to boycott members of a particular community surfaced, officials said on Tuesday.

In the clip, which went viral on social media, an announcement on a truck-mounted sound system was heard about the call to boycott the community members, accusing them of spreading violence here in Madhya Pradesh.

Meanwhile, the Khargone district administration has started the work of installing 121 CCTV cameras at different locations, including those where stone-pelting was reported during the Ram Navami celebration on April 10, the officials said.

Local administration relaxed the curfew in the violence-hit town for nine hours – from 8 am to 5 pm – for the fourth day in a row on Tuesday and allowed plying of passenger buses during that period.
