In a shocking turn of events, a police constable in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghazipur was killed after being struck by stone thrown by a protesting mob on Saturday afternoon, just hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally there.

The constable was returning after completing his duty at PM Narendra Modi’s event when the incident happened.

According to the initial reports, the policemen of Naunera police station, returning from the duty at PM’s rally, were asked to intervene and control the protestors belonging to Nishad community demanding quota near Kathwamor Managai Nadi pul.

As the police team approached the protestor squatted on the state highway to remove them from the spot, they started pelting stones at the cops. In the melee, a stone thrown by the agitated crowd hit head constable on his head injuring him grievously.

While the constable turned unconscious, two locals were also injured by the Nishad Party workers, an ally of Samajwadi Party, during the unrest in Naunera area.

Around 15 party workers have been detained and the rest of the protesters are being identified with the help of closed circuit TV cameras.

Taking note of the Constable’s death, UP CM Yogi Adityanath has announced Rs 40 lakh as compensation for the wife of the deceased.
