Why
National Media is
Silent over
Siwan Incident.?
At least three houses and some vehicles were set on fire as a procession to mark
Ram Navami took a violent turn in
Hazaribagh district’s
Pandu village around 6
.30 pm Friday.
Police forces, including the SP, rushed to the village to bring the situation under control. In a separate incident, at least two vehicles were torched and stone pelting was witnessed in
Bokaro district but the situation was brought under control, police said. -
Police sources said trouble erupted between two communities in Pandu village during the procession when some people objected to cars being parked along the route. “It was a minor issue which led to an argument and stone pelting.
Security forces at the spot managed to control the situation. But some elements targeted houses deep inside the village. As per our information, three houses were set on fire, while a fourth was partially burnt,” said
Jharkhand police spokesperson and ADGP (Operations)
S N Pradhan. In a statement issued later, Pradhan said, “The situation at both places is under control. The SP is camping there (in
Hazaribagh). In
Bokaro, in the absence of a regular
DIG, another officer of the same level has been asked to camp in the area.” DIG, Hazaribagh,
Upendra Prasad said, “The SP has reached the spot. The violence stopped after some time. We have information about houses and vehicles being burnt… The exact reason behind the incident will become clear in some time.” -
