Curfew in Jaipur: 1 killed in clashes between mob and police

Late on Friday night, a mob had gone on rampage to protest thrashing of a motorcycle-borne couple by a police constable
One civilian was killed and five policemen injured in clashes between the Jaipur police and a mob which erupted after a constable allegedly thrashed a motorcycle-borne couple during a traffic monitoring drive in the city’s Ramganj area late on Friday night. Curfew has been imposed in four police station areas following the violence while internet services have also been suspended as a precautionary measure.
The mob had gone on a rampage on Friday night when a police constable, apparently while trying to navigate traffic, tried to stop a motorcycle-borne couple for a traffic violation. Eyewitnesses claimed that the constable hit thrashed the motorcyclist with his baton. Some even claimed that the constable assaulted the woman who was riding pillion following which she protested and people gathered around the busy Ramganj market got into an argument with the constable.
As the altercation turned from a personal spat into a full blown people versus police personnel clash, the mob went on a rampage, setting ablaze a power house and several vehicles in the area. Hundreds of people gathered at the police station in the area and started pelting stones at the cops.
The police resorted to opening fire in a bid to disperse the mob but the move backfired. With one local hurt (he later succumbed to his injuries), the crowd went berserk, forcing the police personnel present at the site to call for more security forces to restore normalcy. The deceased has been identified as one, Adil, a resident of Jaipur’s walled city area.
“A petty dispute between a police constable and a motorcycle-borne couple late last night led to clashes between the locals and the police, following which the curfew was imposed around 1 am in Ramganj area, where the violence broke out,” said Jaipur Police Commissioner Sanjay Agarwal.
The areas affected by the curfew fall under the Manak Chowk, Subhash Chowk, Galta Gate and Ramganj police stations. The Delhi-Agra route through Jaipur has also been diverted.
