Police officers pays their last respect to one the souls that were lost at the Mathura Violence. Two police officers were among 24 killed June 2 in clashes between cops and encroachers in the Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh, northern India.

The clashes occurred when the police tried to evict thousands of members of a sect from a public park at Jawahar Bagh area in the district. The police opened fire when members of Swadheen Bharat Subhash Sena attacked them with swords, knives, guns and grenades.

Mukul Dwivedi, Superintendent of Police, who led the eviction drive, was hit on the head with a stone. He died in hospital after three heart attacks, said sources. His colleague, Santosh Kumar Yadav, was shot in the head. As many as 22 protesters also were killed.

According to Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police Javed Ahmed, the encroachers resorted to “unprovoked” firing and stone throwing when the police team arrived to carry out the eviction.

“The police teams reorganized themselves. After two shelters were vacated, the protesters set afire gas cylinders and munitions stored there which led to several explosions.

The deceased included a woman.

Ahmed said 23 police personnel have been hospitalized and many among them have suffered bullet injuries.

“We have recovered 47 guns, six rifles and 178 hand grenades from the area,” he said, adding “124 people have been arrested for creating disturbances. Another 196, including 116 women, have been arrested,” he said.

The violence had erupted when police tried to evict illegal occupants, directed by the Allahabad high court.
