India police arrest 112 as religious clashes kill teenager
Police in northern India have arrested 112 people following violence after a teenage boy died in clashes between two groups, amid anniversary celebrations of the day India became a republic.
The incident occurred in the Kasganj district of Uttar Pradesh state, where two religious groups hurled stones at one another during a motorcycle rally.

"A group of young people had organised a rally when they were stopped from shouting 'long live India' in a Muslim area. This led to arguments followed by firing and stone pelting. My son died in this violence and I want justice," Sushil Gupta whose son died in the violence, told BBC Hindi's Samiratmaj Mishra.
After the death of the teenager, residents told BBC Hindi that properties in Muslim areas of the district were attacked.
