The National Highway number 24 in Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh became the scene of violent clashes between police and a mob on Saturday morning.
The mob was protesting against a government eviction notice from an unauthorised colony.
Angry protestors blocked the busy highway and set a bus on fire in the Vijay Nagar area of Ghaziabad.
When police tried to clear the highway, the protesters allegedly started throwing stones.
Police then resorted to lathicharge and also fired in the air.
