New Delhi, July 27 (IBNS): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the situation in Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh where three people died so far in communal clashes between Sikhs and Muslims over a religious property, reports said.
At least 20 arrests have been made  so far .
 
With tension prevailing in the area, curfew and shoot-at-sight orders remained in force on Sunday.
 
Meanwhile, Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) and the Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel, deployed in the area, are using drones to monitor the situation.
 
At least three have died and nearly a score sustained injuries in clashes and arson between two groups- Sikhs and Muslims-  in Saharanpur district early on Saturday.
 
Curfew was imposed  following the clash that broke out between the two groups over a plot of Gurudwara on Saturday, police said.
 
According sources, the situation went out of control as members from both the communities started pelting stones at each other and set several shops and vehicles on fire.
