''The incident happened when police operatives and members of the Civilian Joint Taskforce attempted to disperse traders who defied the lockdown in those areas.
It was gathered that a fight ensued between the JTF members and the traders when the local vigilante group also joined to disperse the traders who converged at a temporary market located at Trikania following the closure of Monday market in Kakuri by police personnel.''
