Just moments after Rohit Sharma and his team clinched a thrilling victory over New Zealand by four wickets in the cricket Champions Trophy final, celebrations turned chaotic in Mhow, near Indore, Madhya Pradesh, late Sunday night.

What began as a festive occasion quickly escalated into tension between two communities as stones were thrown at the celebratory crowd.

The unrest unfolded around 10:30 p.m. when a procession in the Jama Masjid area ignited a dispute over firecrackers. This disagreement spiraled into confrontations, with stone-pelting incidents spreading to various locations, including Manak Chowk, Patti Bazaar, and Market Chowk.

The situation worsened as two rival groups clashed, escalating the chaos. Numerous videos surfaced showing members of one community targeting jubilant cricket fans with stones. In response, a significant police presence was deployed to prevent further escalation, and additional security forces were called in to manage the situation, as confirmed by a senior police officer in contact with IANS.

Despite the police presence, reports indicated that stone-pelting continued, with some individuals brandishing weapons. Anger erupted further, resulting in the torching of shops and vehicles by troublemakers. The violence intensified with the use of petrol bombs, according to video footage and reports. To control the situation, police resorted to mild force through lathi charges and fired tear gas shells. Reports suggested that two houses, four shops, and multiple vehicles were damaged, with over a dozen vehicles set ablaze.

Fortunately, law enforcement was able to regain control of the situation, though the full extent of the damage will be assessed after further investigation. The police continue efforts to restore order, but apprehension still lingers in the area.

Following India’s triumph in the Champions Trophy 2025, celebrations erupted nationwide, with countless fans taking to the streets to commemorate the victory.
