A civilian was killed and over 20 policemen were injured in Rajasthan's Naguar after protests demanding CBI investigation into an encounter of a local gangster turned violent after a meeting of Rajput community leaders late on Wednesday, police said. The villagers, who alleged that the encounter of Anandpal Singh last month was staged, attacked a police team with stones and set on a police vehicle on fire.
A mob threw stones on policemen and torched a police vehicle and four buses on fire in Sanwarda village in Nagaur district late on Wednesday, injuring over 20 policemen, including a senior police officer, Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) NRK Reddy said. Three critically injured policemen were rushed to a hospital in Jaipur.
The police used batons on angry crowds who alleged that cops fired at them, the claim denied by the police. They said only rubber bullets were fired to control the mob.
Anandpal's family claimed that he was killed despite his willingness to surrender before police and that it was a part of the political conspiracy to eliminate him. The gangster's family is yet to cremate the body.
