Chandigarh : Over 10 people, including four policemen, were injured Friday when Dalit protestors clashed with the police in Haryana’s Panchkula town adjoining Chandigarh.
The Dalits were protesting the killing of Dalit youth Rakesh alias Lara in Gohana town of Sonepat district Aug 27 night by unidentified youths.
The protestors gathered near the border between Chandigarh and Panchkula for the protest. When the police tried to stop them, they pelted stones and bricks at the security personnel.
