Ram Vriksh Yadav

The Allahabad High Court today deferred till July 14 its hearing on a Public Interest Litigation seeking CBI inquiry into the course of events that led to violence last month in Mathura when police wanted evict squatters from a sprawling public park.

The prime accused in the Mathura violence case Chandan Bose and his wife were today arrested from a village in Parsurampur area in Basti, police said.

The post-mortem report of 19 people among those killed during the Jawahar Bagh violence in Mathura last week, show that none of them died of bullet injuries but either due to burn injuries or those received in lathi blow and stone-pelting, the district authorities said today.

Back in February, four months before last week's mayhem at Mathura's Jawahar Baug park, an alarm was raised about the obscure cult led by Ram Vriksh Yadav, the district authorities have claimed.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has transferred two top officials out of Mathura, where 24 people including two police officers died last week in clashes between the police and members of a cult who had illegally occupied a 260-acre park for two years.

A cult at the centre of deadly clashes in Mathura that was running a parallel judicial system and had its own constitution, jails and several "battalions" of soldiers, also gave arms training to children, a senior police officer said.

Ram Vriksh Yadav, leader of the cult that clashed with policemen in Mathura on Thursday, was among those killed in the violence, the police have said. Twenty-four people, including two policemen, had died in the clashes.
