In sinkie, fighting among themselves is rioting. One man protest can also be classified as illegal assembly.

Likely to be a case whereby First Info Report (FIR) from a member of public indicated more than 5 were involved. Arrest of 4 does not mean 4 involved. Sections 143, 147 and 148 - minimum 5 to be involved.
