Indian rival royal factions clash outside palace

JAIPUR, India — Indian government officials took temporary control Tuesday at a luxurious hilltop palace in Rajasthan after arguments between rival royal brothers sparked clashes between stone-throwing loyalists outside its fortified gates.

Police officers surrounded the 450-year-old City Palace in Udaipur after the unrest on Monday night when the older brother Vishvaraj Singh — head of the historic royal family of Mewar — was blocked from entry by his younger brother, Arvind Singh.
