Mathura clashes: SP Mukul Dwivedi died due to brain haemorrhage

In deadly clash at Jawar Bagh area in Mathura SP City Mukul Dwivedi didn’t die of bullet but due to brain haemorrhage. Official confirmation to the information is still awaited but his post-mortem report suggests that he died due to head injury by iron rod.

The temple town of Mathura was on edge after massive violence claimed 24 lives, including an SP and SHO, as police clashed with about 3,000 members of a little-known sect whose leaders have fled while 368 people have been arrested.

An uneasy calm prevailed as forces from other parts of Uttar Pradesh were rushed to bring normalcy to the town where a large cache of ammunition was recovered from the members of zad Bharat Vidhik Vaicharik Kranti Satyagrahi", an outfit claiming to owe allegience to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, in Jawahar Bagh area.

The clashes took place when police went to evict the members of the sect, which has made outlandish demands for the removal of the President and Prime Minister and replacing of the Indian currency, from a 260-acre government land encroached by them. The police action followed Allahabad High Court orders.
