Chitrakoot (Uttar Pradesh): At least eight policemen were injured when a mob here fought
pitched battles with police after a student was knocked down and
seriously injured by a car of a minister's fleet in this Uttar
Pradesh district, an official said.
Sanjay Kumar, a class 9 student, was Friday hit by a car that
belonged to the convoy of Rural Development Minister Daddu Prasad,
in Bahilpurwa town, some 300 km from Lucknow.
Locals turned violent after neither the minister nor any one in
his fleet stopped to help Sanjay, who was writhing in pain at that
time. He has been taken to Allahabad city for treatment.
"People gathered in a large number and vented their ire by
targeting public property and vehicles. The mob also attacked us
when we tried to disperse them," Additional Superintendent of
Police Bipin Mishra told IANS.
"Heavy security arrangements have been made in the wake of the
violent protests by the locals," he added.
Police are yet to register any case in this regard.
"An enquiry is underway. Necessary action would be taken on the
completion of the enquiry," said Mishra.
