BHOPAL/MAUGANJ, March 16: A day after an Assistant Sub-Inspector was killed in a violent attack on a police team in Mauganj district by tribals, MP DGP Kailash Makwana on Sunday flew to Rewa to assess the situation, with Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announcing strict action against perpetrators.Police launched a combing operation and arrested six persons. A search is underway to trace others.A group of tribals on Saturday allegedly abducted and killed a man, and then attacked a police team that attempted to rescue him, resulting in the death of the assistant sub-inspector.
The situation in Gadra, where the violent clash unfolded, is under control.The altercation began when members of the Kol tribe abducted Sunny Dwivedi, accusing him of being responsible for the death of a tribal man, Ashok Kumar, several months ago. Police records indicate that Kumar had died in a road accident, but the Kol tribe believed Dwivedi was involved.When the police were alerted about Dwivedi’s abduction, a team was dispatched to Gadra village.However, by the time they arrived, Dwivedi had already been beaten to death. As police attempted to intervene and open the room where Dwivedi was held, they were met with a violent attack by the tribals armed with sticks and stones.
In the ensuing chaos, ASI Ramcharan Gautam, sustained severe injuries and later succumbed during treatment, an official said. (PTI)
