A large number of party faithfuls were seen trekking to their various homes as there was heavy vehicular traffic in the area because of the violence.
Sources reveal that security operatives had a hectic time controlling the situation and engaging the hoodlums, making it even more difficult leaving the scene and rescuing victims. Many people were dispossessed of their phones, money and other valuables by opportunistic pick-pockets and other criminals.
