A war of words which began between fans of actors Pawan Kalyan and Prabhas turned into a street brawl on Juvvalapalem road in the town from the early hours of Thursday.
Fans of the two actors lodged complaints against one another and in all cases were registered against 50 persons. Trouble began when fans of Pawan Kalyan found that the flexi put up by them wishing their hero a happy birthday on the Juvvalapalem road was vandalised by some miscreants on Wednesday midnight.
They jumped to a conclusion that it was the handiwork of the fans of Prabhas and resorted to remove all the flexi and banners of the hero and set them on fire. Irked by this, fans of Prabhas took to the streets. Both the groups resorted to stone pelting that resulted in damage to the glass doors of the two ATMs. Stones were also pelted on the houses of fans of the two heroes.
Lathicharge
The police intervened and made attempts to pacify the warring groups. They finally resorted to lathicharge to bring the situation under control. Additional police force was deployed at Juvvalapalem to prevent any untoward incidents. On Thursday afternoon, fans of Pawan Kalyan took out a motorcycle rally in the town and performed ‘Ksheerabhishekam’ to the portrait of the actor.
