The death toll in the recent violence at Gopalgarh in Bharatpur district went up to 10 with one of the injured persons breathing his last at the Sawai Man Singh Government Hospital here early on Monday morning. The deceased, 40-year-old Shabbir, was hospitalised in a serious condition after the September 14 clash.

A resident of Pathrali village near Gopalgarh town, Shabbir had sustained injuries caused by pellets and also had severe burn injuries.

Relatives attending to him said he was a victim of firing, adding that a violent mob had tried to burn him alive at the Jama Masjid in a bid to destroy evidence.

Compromise formula

While Shabbir's post-mortem is expected to be conducted by Tuesday, four other bodies — two each kept in Bharatpur and Jaipur — could not be buried amid the continuing deadlock caused by refusal of close relatives to accept them until their demands for justice are met.

Five bodies have been buried so far at the native villages of the deceased. According to sources, the stalemate over the burial was likely to end by Monday night with a compromise formula being evolved.

Curfew was relaxed for 12 hours, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., in the affected areas of Gopalgarh, Kaman, Jurehra, Pahari and Sikri. The markets remained open and the local residents ventured out of homes for routine works and also purchased essential items.

In addition to the five first information reports registered at Gopalgarh police station over a period of time since the day the town witnessed police firing and clashes between Meos and Gujjars, four fresh FIRs were registered on Sunday, including one against the then Bharatpur Collector Krishna Kunal and Superintendent of Police Hinglaj Dan.

The complainant, Chandar Khan of Piprauli village — father of one of the victims, Iqbal, has accused the Collector and the Superintendent of Police of killing his son. The Indian Penal Code sections under which the FIR has been registered include Section 302 (murder). Both the officers have since been transferred from Bharatpur.

Inflammatory speeches

Another FIR registered at Pahari police station has named Dausa MP Kirorilal Meena as an accused under Section 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony) of the IPC. Mr. Meena, who has been making rounds of the Mewat region during the past two weeks, has been accused of delivering inflammatory speeches.

So far, no arrests have been made in connection with the violence, which has shaken the Congress-led Government here. Besides confronting the charges of inept handling levelled by political rivals, the State Government has faced the heat of an All India Congress Committee team's observations about “police excesses.”

Curfew relaxed for 12 hours in some affected areas
