A man was shot at and vehicles were damaged in a clash between two groups allegedly after an inter-faith marriage in Haryana's Pataudi area, police said on Tuesday.

On January 30, a Muslim man from Pataudi's Baba Shah locality lodged a police complaint alleging that his 22-year-old daughter had gone missing. It was later found that she had married one Rakesh, they said.

After the wedding, Rakesh had started receiving threat calls. He informed his relatives in Rewari about the calls and they reached out to Bajrang Dal members for help. A group of men led by the outfit's leader reached the man's house where the clash erupted, they said.
