Sikh protesters carrying swords attacked policemen, leaving four injured.
The police refused to allow the religious processions which angered the mob.
The mob then went out of control and attacked the policemen with swords.
A case has been registered and 18 people have been detained so far.
Superintendent of Police Pramod Kumar Shewale said the gurdwara had been informed that the “Hola Mohalla” procession would not be allowed because of virus restrictions.
“We had spoken to the gurdwara authorities and the priests and explained the situation to them. So they agreed that this year, no procession will be held and a low-key celebration will be held within the complex,” Mr Shewale said.
