June 22nd, 2011 - 12:24 am ICT by IANSChandigarh, June 21 (IANS) A woman who was injured in a clash between police and protesters in Hisar town of Haryana earlier this month died in hospital here Tuesday, police said.
Santosh Devi, 45, was among the nine people, including four policemen, injured June 13 during the protest against the alleged intolerant attitude of police against Dalits and non-Jats.
The woman from Bamniwala village in Kaithal district was critically injured and was first admitted to Hisar civil hospital but was later referred to the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) here.
Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) B.S. Sandhu said: “After the post mortem, the body will be sent to her village for cremation.”
“Right now, I cannot say anything about action against the policemen, who were involved in this clash,” he said.
Led by Non-Jat Association (NJA) president Ved Pal Tanwar, the protestors, including dozens of Dalits, staged a protest outside the Hisar mini-secretariat complex, 300 km from here.
Police arrested 12 people, including Tanwar. They are currently in judicial custody.
