Two persons were killed in two separate incidents in Madhya Pradesh after police teams raided two places where gambling was on.
According to age-old tradition gambling on the day of Diwali is considered auspicious in most parts of North India. As there is not much punishment or fine on gamblers, the police also do not take such incidents seriously. Police officials raid these places only after any complaint about such incidents.
A man was killed and another seriously injured when they jumped off from the third floor of a house in a bid to escape from police.
Police raided a house that belonged to Rajesh Goswami on Thursday, near a local Church after receiving a tip off that some people had gathered there for gambling session on the occasion of Diwali, said City Superintendent of Police DK Rathore.
The deceased was identified as Chotu Sen. However, Goswami’s mother, Ramsakhi Bai, alleged that police entered the house forcibly and pushed the two men down from the third-floor.
Enraged locals attacked the police. Taking a serious note of the incident, Chhattarpur’s Superintendent of Police, PS Bisht, has ordered suspension of five policemen and directed registration of a case under Section 338 of the IPC (causing grievous hurt) against them.
Incidentally, in a similar incident, a youth was killed when police raided a field where some men were gambling near Babai town of Hoshangabad district on Wednesday night. Locals alleged that the youth was beaten up by the police, while the police claim that he fell while trying to run off and suffered fatal injuries.
State Congress in a bid to make issue, is not even refraining from supporting social evils and in a similar incidence demanded judicial enquiry into the death of a youth allegedly killed during police raid on gamblers.
Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee Media Department chairman Manak Agarwal demanded judicial probe into the incidence alleging death due to police excesses.
