A protest rally organized by tribal villagers in the city turned violent after they were stopped by police on Monday. The police used lathicharge to control the violent mob of tribal villagers who were on their way to protest outside Vidhan Sabha in the city.

A mob of angry tribal villagers took out a procession rally as part of their protest against the government demanding adequate rights for the tribes in the region. The police, acting on information, placed barricades to halt the procession. This instigated a furious clash between the tribal villagers and the police.

In order to control the violent mob, police resorted to lathicharge that was replied with stone pelting by the tribals. The police officials called in reinforcements to control the mob and also fired tear gas at the scene.

The police arrested numerous tribals who were involved in the act of violence against them. Two police officials were critically injured in the violent clash.

The police action on the tribals was condemned by former minister Arvind Netram. He stated that the lack of adequate arrangements at the hands of the police led to the gruesome event. He also advocated for a detailed investigation in the case.

The tribal villagers have demanded 32 per cent reservation in the state alongside compensation for land grabbing cases. They also demanded constitutional rights for the tribes in the region.   
  
According to sources, police had prior information that the tribals will be carrying weapons including bow and arrow during their procession. But, they did not confiscate the weapons at the start of the procession which could have averted the incident.
