Tension gripped the Namkum police station area of Ranchi on Sunday after a man injured in a violent clash between two groups succumbed to his injuries during treatment.<\/p>\n
The man, identified as Monu Munda, was among those seriously injured in the clash that occurred on the day of Holi.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, anger and grief spilled onto the streets as hundreds of people from Jorar Basti took to the Ranchi-Purulia road with Sonu Munda’s body. The demonstrators blocked the busy road near Jorar Basti, leading to a massive traffic jam with long queues of stranded vehicles.<\/p>\n
The conflict began on Friday when a dispute erupted between locals from Jorar Basti and people operating cattle sheds (Khatals) near Namkum railway station. What started as a minor disagreement escalated into a major fight later that day.<\/p>\n
Tensions flared up on Saturday during Holi celebrations, leading to a violent confrontation between the two groups. Both sides reportedly used sticks and swords, resulting in severe injuries to three persons and minor injuries to about 15 others.<\/p>\n
Among the seriously injured was Monu Munda, a resident of Jorar Basti, who succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment on Sunday. Several others injured in the clash remain hospitalized.<\/p>\n
After Monu Munda’s body was handed over to his family members following postmortem, residents of Jorar Basti organised a protest march. Carrying the body, the demonstrators blocked the main thoroughfare, demanding justice and action against those responsible for the violence.<\/p>\n
The police took swift action and arrested 15 individuals allegedly involved in the clash. Acting on the orders of Ranchi DIG-cum-SSP Chandan Sinha, a large contingent of police forces was deployed across the Namkum area to prevent further unrest.<\/p>\n
After the residents of Jorar Basti demanded the removal of illegally constructed Khatals, the police demolished several of them using bulldozers on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Security has been tightened in the entire area, with police personnel stationed at key locations to prevent any further flare-ups.<\/p>\n
