Dalit killed in clashes between protesters, police
Agra, Dec 30 (IANS) A Dalit was shot dead on the Agra-Firozabad
highway in Uttar Pradesh in exchange of firing between the police and
protesters demanding compensation for an accident victim, an official
said.
A Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) trooper was also seriously hit
on the head in stone-pelting by villagers of the Chalesar area late
Thursday evening.
The clashes continued for over two hours after a speeding Scorpio
vehicle hit Raj Kumar, of Bangara village in Etmadpur, who was
crossing the road. Both his legs were badly crushed.
A large crowd gathered on the highway and blocked traffic. After
failing to clear the jam, police used tear gas shells, rubber bullets
and a mild baton charge, and the villagers retaliated by pelting
stones and firing back.
A bullet hit Ashok of Bangara village who fell on the ground. Police
took him to the SN Medical College where doctors pronounced him dead.
Deputy Inspector General Aseem Arun told IANS that the family of the
deceased has filed a First Information Report (FIR) against three
people of the village who, they alleged, took advantage of the
situation and killed him.
Arun said the police had used rubber bullets and tear gas shells. An
inquiry has been ordered to find out how Ashok was hit and died, he
added.
