Lucknow: Indefinite
curfew was clamped in Tanda town of Uttar Pradesh's Ambedkarnagar
district Monday following incidents of arson and violence after a
local Hindu leader was shot dead by unidentified assailants,
police said.
In the rioting that followed the murder Sunday night, several
vehicles, including a police vehicle and a state transport bus
were torched and policemen were beaten up.
More than a dozen people were injured in the stone-pelting and
violence, police said, adding the decision to clamp curfew
followed.
Since the deceased leader Babu Lal Gupta was from the Hindu Yuva
Vahini (HYV), a group founded by Yogi Aditya Nath, the Bharatiya
Janata Party MP from Gorakhpur, police apprehended more trouble.
Gupta was shot dead in Adalatpur area over a property dispute,
police said.
Officials told IANS that the situation was control but a constant
vigil was being kept on the situation to avoid a further flare-up.
