Locals at Mira Road have alleged complete failure on the part of intelligence and the police that led to the clash in the area where two religious groups indulged in violence and vandalised dozens of cars on Sunday night. Sources in Mira Road told mid-day that the commissioner of Mira Bhayandar Vasai Virar (MBVV) police was absent from the crime scene, which resulted in the situation escalating. They said this was the only area in the state where the cops failed to control the situation.
