Six persons were killed and 12 injured, including two critically, in violence and arson during a protest against alleged desecration of a ‘holy book’ in Dasna, Ghaziabad district of Uttar Pradesh, on Friday night as curfew continued in the area on Saturday.

The protest was triggered after torn pages from a ‘holy book’ were found at Adhyatmik Nagar station platform in Dasna.

District Magistrate Aparna Upadhyay and Senior Superintendent of Police Prashant Kumar said in Ghaziabad that six persons were killed in Friday’s incident besides 12 injured. A Sub-Inspector and a Head Constable suffered serious injuries and are in critical condition.

Asked whether protesters died in police firing, they said it was a matter of investigation and they were awaiting post-mortem report to ascertain the cause of deaths. “It could be due to stone pelting or blunt objects…it is a matter of investigations,” they said.

The Uttar Pradesh Government has ordered an inquiry into the incident and announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakh each to the kin of those killed, Rs 50,000 each to those seriously injured and Rs 25,000 to those having minor injuries.

“Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has termed the incident as unfortunate and has said that stern action will be taken against guilty officers,” an official spokesman said in Lucknow.

He said that on the Chief Minister’s directive, Divisional Commissioner (Meerut) has been asked to conduct an inquiry.

Such crazy, sensitive, fanatic idiots should be shot at sight. These lot belong to the disposable population in this country & Why compensation from state fund? Instead cease the assets of the rioters/looters. Only in India this happens, rioters walk free.. Stern action should be taken.. Make them answerable..

It's a matter of Mulayam Singh's Muslim vote.

I bet that most of these guys who are taking the streets and eventually turning their so called peaceful protests into violent and destructive ones do not even know whats it all about.They are just working on instructions given to them.These are just some political rallies organized by some of those fanatic religious political parties in UP,Tamil Nadu etc. to get leverage from the Muslim vote bank!!Nothing to do with religious sentiments!!

Six in Six months..

Man! What a bunch of fundoo idiots!

Some clown tore the pieces of paper from their holy book; they don't even know who did it so they start to torch vehicles?!

WTF is that!? Doesn't complaining to a law body strike sense or do they tend to follow what their global brethren follow: just run around like loonies killing, burning and destroying things and people around?

As such UP is the 'Africa' of India, with its taliban capital of Aligarh... now we have every tom, dick and harry burning public property because some idiot tore the pages of their holy book?

In response to the abusive film about the Holy Prophet Muhammad upon him blessings and peace,
“Discover Islam UK” in London
distributed more than 110,000 copies of a translation of the Qur’an
And the life of the Prophet Mohammed for the citizens of London.
Very smart response. May God bless them with the support of His beloved and religion.

UP is in deep shyte.

WTF did torching that vehicle do? Did it restore the torn pages or get the culprit caught? No.

Why are Muslims so over-emotional that they don't use the law?

 

[harpoon]

Six in Six months..

Nothing in Gujurat for 10 years..but Modi is a communalist and SP and the Yadavas that lead them are secularists.

more so these look like politically motivated riots not the communal ones.

Suckulars can be smelt from miles away with their cowardice and hypocrisy polluting all the clean air around.

But yeah; what to say, our great nehruvian laws working at their best.
