"He was immediately taken to hospital where he succumbed to his injuries, the SP said.

He said about 15 party workers were detained. The police are trying to identify other protesters through the video footage of the incident.

The constable was from Raniganj in Pratapgarh district.

MY condolence to the family of deceased Police personnel.    CM Yogi has instructed Police to take stern action on the people concerned , but he is

sheltering the murderer of brave Inspector Subodh Kumar.    I would like to ask Yogi when is he going to give justice to martyre Subodh.   When is he going to announce  death sentence or life imprison to the murderer.
