The senior Congress leader has been taken to a hospital after suffering head injury. Eyewitness say that the leader was bleeding profusely after getting caught in a crossfire between the crowd and the police. However, it is still not confirmed how serious the injury is.
There is no official confirmation on the incident as yet. The rally was supposedly against alleged false cases against few Congress leaders.
The crowd in the rally went unruly, and the police had to fire teargas. And later, the police resorted to lathicharge wherein the senior Congress leader got injured.
