Kasganj (Uttar Pradesh), Jan 29 (ANI): Inspector General Aligarh Range, Sanjeev Gupta on Monday said Rahul Upadhyay, whose death aggravated the rampant violence across Kasganj district, is alive.

Four people have also been arrested for spreading the rumour.

Angered by the rumours of Upadhyay's death, the mob staged violence over the course of three days.

On Sunday, more than 30 people were sent to jail on charges of murder and 51 others were detained by police, in connection with the violence that erupted in the vicinity.

One person died and two others were injured after a clash broke out between two communities during 'Tiranga Yatra' in the district on Republic Day.
