Five policemen and nearly half-a-dozen farmers were injured in a clash at Bhamashah Krishi Upaj Mandi (BKUM) in Kota on Wednesday.

Following the death of a 'mandi' accountant in the afternoon, farmers and accountants resorted to a violent protest against BKUM office bearers. They allegedly attacked the association's secretaryJawahar Lal Nagar and additional secretaryNarendra Kumar Swarnkar. They even set fire to Swarnkar's car.

When the police tried to intervene, the villagers allegedly threw stones at them. The cops lathicharged the crowd which left around five policemen and several farmers injured.

Kota city circle officer Chandrasheel Thakur said, "In the stone-pelting, five constables suffered injuries. We dispersed the crowd using mild force." The police later had to call Rapid Action Force to disperse the protesters.

Thakur said there had been a dispute over an internal matter in the mandi, but the situation worsened after the death of accountant Pappu Punia.

Kota (south) MLA Om Birla alleged corrupt practices like selling leftover grains illegally are rampant in the mandi. "Last evening, Punia had an argument with mandi guards when he tried to stop them from taking out the leftover grains illegally after the transactions were completed. The guards could be selling it in the shops outside the mandi illegally," alleged Birla. Punia was also threatened of dire consequences, claimed Birla.

Sources said following the argument, Punia complained of chest pain at night and was rushed to a private hospital where he died while undergoing treatment.

The agitating farmers and accountants have demanded a compensation of Rs10 lakh for Punia's family.
