Police alleged that they have thrown garbage inside a minister’s house, while Congress workers claimed to have carried out a protest against Urban Administration Minister Ammar Agarwal peacefully, but Police beat us.

“The protesters then went to the district Congress office and staged a sit-in, the police officer quoted as saying to PTI. When police tried to arrest them, Congress workers again got into a scuffle with police so “mild force” was used to arrest the workers against whom the case had been lodged, Chandrakar said.

According to PTI report, “At least 52 Congress workers were arrested and seven of them sustained injuries in the process.”
