The clarification comes after rumour mongers on Twitter, including verified handles, put out Muslim names saying they were among the arrested.
Yesterday, a local Haryana Court had sent 11 people to 14 days judicial custody for their involvement in attacking a school bus and torching a state bus in Gurugram in protest against the release of the film Padmaavat.
Seven other protestors, who were juvenile, will be produced before the juvenile court.
