A man was killed, and another person was injured in an alleged firing incident during a clash between two groups in Rajasthan's Ajmer district on Sunday.

According to the police, the clash erupted between the two groups over construction on a piece of land in the Rupangarh area, which reportedly belonged to a Jain Samaj group.

The dispute quickly escalated, and both sides allegedly attacked each other with sticks and rods. During the violence, one side opened fire, resulting in the death of a young man, Shakeel Langa, according to police officials.

Another person, Narayan Kumawat, was injured in the incident and has been hospitalised.

The mob also destroyed a JCB machine, set it on fire, and vandalised several other vehicles.
