Meerut:
Police say they suspect Arun Jindal, an RSS pracharak hurt in Saturday’s clashes at Haathikhana area of Lalkurti, to be the man behind the violence that broke out as Janmashtami was celebrated. Policemen are now on alert and taking no chances as WhatsApp messages have been circulating, calling people to join a “mahaarti“ at the very site of the violence.
Two platoons of the Police Armed Constabulary (PAC) have been deployed in the area. Four police pickets have been set up.
