Maharashtra: At least ten policemen were injured in violence during a protest march taken out in Maharashtra’s Nashik district’s Satana town on Saturday evening against the incident of sexual assault of two women in Manipur. Police officials gave this information.
Nashik Superintendent of Police Shahaji Umap said several people have been detained in this connection and the situation is now under control. The protest march was organized by Eklavya Adivasi Sangathan, some other tribal organizations and Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi to condemn the incident in Manipur.
Earlier on May 3, caste violence started in Manipur. On the second day of the violence, two women were stripped naked and paraded on the road. Both these women were also gang-raped. When the father and brother of a woman opposed the incident, both of them were murdered.
Recently, a video of the entire incident went viral, after which people expressed their displeasure. Manipur Police has arrested the accused in the case.
Eklavya Adivasi Sangathan, some other tribal organizations and Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi took out a violent march on Saturday evening in Nashik, Maharashtra to protest against the incident of this video. The incident of stone pelting took place after the protest.
About 10 policemen have been injured in this. It is said that during the protest, thousands of youths participated in the march semi-naked. When the march reached the tehsil office, some protesters started a sit-in in front of the Satana police station and called local BJP MLA Dilip Borse to submit a memorandum.
The members of the organization started returning after giving the memorandum to the local Tehsildar. But, some people in the crowd demanded to meet the local MLA and blocked the road. It is alleged that after the aggressive attitude of the police, some of the marchers got enraged and started pelting stones.
At the same time, the police say that the tribal organizations did not have permission to protest. Told these people that the MLA is in Mumbai and is attending the assembly session there. During the conversation a heated debate ensued. Meanwhile, stones were started pelting at the police and the vehicles passing by.
