Two groups of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) reportedly clashed here on Thursday, even as police said the party workers had an altercation.

According to reports, police had to use mild force to disperse the crowd.

Two men -- Sahbi and Lav Sharma -- sustained injuries in the clash and were hospitalised.

While Sahbi belongs to the Gogi faction, Sharma owes allegiance to the group headed by Joginder Singh Mann.
