Timely action by Bhandara police prevented a flare-up between two communities after a Std X student's derogatory Facebook post briefly sparked tension in the city on Monday night.
The student posted an objectionable photograph about a place of worship of Muslims while a friend of the boy wrote a derogatory remark about Prophet Mohammed on the post. This led to members of the aggrieved community barging into the boy's friend's house and thrashing him.
