Malaysian police have arrested 21 people over riots that broke out amid a dispute over the relocation of a Hindu temple outside Kuala Lumpur.

The clashes began on Monday morning when a group of intruders attacked Indian devotees praying at the Sri Maha Mariamman temple in central Selangor state’s Subang Jaya township and torched vehicles. Another group of men retaliated early Tuesday morning by vandalizing the office of property developer MCT Berhad near the temple and also set some vehicles ablaze.
