Sreenivasulu on Tuesday told media that of the 60 people, three involved in the incident had recently been externed from the city for six months.
He added that the others involved in the clashes were bound over under section 110 of CrPC, following reports that the two groups were provoking each other by posting abusive posts on social media platforms.
The police commissioner further warned the accused of externment in case they indulged in group clashes or any anti-social activities.
“We are monitoring the social media accounts of the accused involved in the Patamata gang clashed to avoid any untoward incidents,” city police commissioner B Sreenivasulu said.
