Farmers died in police firing, MP govt tells MHA

-The Times of India

NEW DELHI: The five farmers who were killed during violent clashes in Mandsaur, MP, on Tuesday died due to police firing, the state government has said in a report sent to the home ministry.

The report clears up the air over the firing as the state had initially claimed that police had not fired on the agitating farmers. It says police resorted to firing after the protesters turned violent.

Police tried to control the mob with a lathicharge and by lobbing teargas shells, the report says, but the farmers continued to indulge in "arson, vandalism and destruction of public property". The police firing thereafter left five dead and eight injured in the Piplia Mandi area .

The farmers, who were demanding a loan waiver, had allegedly set 25 trucks ablaze and two police vans along the Mhow-Neemuch highway on Tuesday.

In its report on the ground situation, the state government told the home ministry that after Tuesday's incident, seven people were arrested by police for allegedly indulging in violence.
