A protest over alleged electoral malpractice in the Rajpur Bada village of Alwar district turned violent on Saturday. Residents, claiming that the recent polling was rigged, gathered at the Panchayat Committee office and began throwing stones at the police contingent that had arrived to maintain order.
The stone‑pelting resulted in injuries to senior police officials, including Deputy Superintendent of Police Deshraj Kuldeep, who sustained wounds along with several constables. The injured officers were promptly taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Local authorities have sealed the area and are registering FIRs against the participants. The police have appealed for calm and warned that any further escalation will be dealt with under the law.
