Bharatpur::
Sources have told NDTV that postmortem reports of those killed in Bharatpur violence earlier this month have revealed that of the nine people killed, three died in police firing and the other six died in mob clashes.
Nine people were killed and 21 were injured after a clash between two communities on September 14 in the Gopalgarh area of the district. According to police, incorrect entry of a land meant for digging a pond as a graveyard in government records by a local patwari was the cause of the clash.
The administration maintains that the police resorted to firing to disperse the warring groups. Human rights organisations, though, are questioning why a large number of casualties was from one particular group.
The fact that all those who died belong to one community has created an uncomfortable situation for the Gehlot government with the party high command taking a serious view of the matter. There are reports that the state's Home Minister may be forced to take moral responsibility for the administrative failure and he may be asked to resign.
