The man, identified as Salman, 22, can be seen vandalising shops with the sword in the market area. The incident happened on Tuesday night and Salman is on the run since then, the police said.

The two were under the influence of alcohol, the police said. However, the exact reason behind the act will be ascertained once he is arrested, they added. A case has been registered and an enquiry by a senior police officer has been ordered, Thakur said.
