Two protesters had died in police firing at Bahi Parswanath and three outside Pipliyamandi Police Station on June 6.

Bhopal:
The judicial probe constituted after six deaths and violence during farmers’ agitation in Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, in June last year, has given a clean chit to the police and CRPF personnel and held that firing was absolutely necessary (“nitant awashyak”) and justified (“nyaysangat”).

The J K Jain Commission report, submitted to the state government last week, has observed that anti-social elements took over the agitation near Bahi Parswanath village because no leader who had instigated them to take to the streets in support of demand for fair prices for produce and loan waiver was present.

Two protesters had died in police firing at Bahi Parswanath and three outside Pipliyamandi Police Station on June 6.

Armed with sticks, iron rods and petrol bottles, some people in the crowd and indulged in chakka jam. They subsequently surrounded eight CRPF personnel who tried to stop them. The report said the anti-social elements threw stones and petrol bombs at CRPF personnel and beat them up. When constable Vivek Mishra, whose trousers and shoes caught fire, bent to douse the flames, the crowd pinned him to the ground and tried to snatch his rifle, it said.

Constable Uday Prasad was also pinned to the ground and attempt made to snatch the rifle of Arun Kumar.

The report said that the crowd shouted that he be killed. Despite warning from ASI B Shaji and constables Vijay Kumar and Arun Kumar to release the two constables, the crowd did not relent, forcing them to fire, according to the commission.

The report stated that Vijay Kumar fired two rounds, which led to death of Kanhaiyyalal and Poonamchand, alis Babloo.

ASI Shaji fired three rounds and constable Arun Kumar fired two rounds. The report stated that CRPF personnel did not suffer injuries because they wore helmets and other protection.

In his report, Justice Jain also observed that there was no evidence to back the allegation that an attempt was made to burn alive head constable Vishnulal and constables Mahipal and Suryaprakash, as also burn their vehicles, at Bahi Parswanath. “The incident does not appear to be true,” the report notes.
