Ambedkar Jayanti Row: A rally to celebrate the birth anniversary of the father of the Indian Constitution Dr BR Ambedkar took a tragic turn on Monday night after violence broke out in Madhya Pradesh's Morena district. A dispute over music being played by a DJ escalated to a violent fight, leaving a man dead and two others injured in the Hingona Khurd area under the Civil Lines Police station in the Morena district. Members of two communities - Jatav and Gurjar - are neighbours in the area engaged in the brawl.
Members of the Jatav community were celebrating Ambedkar Jayanti in a rally with DJ music when the violence broke out. The violence was triggered when the members of the Gurjar community objected to the loud music, citing a birthday celebration for a child in their household. A heated argument descended into verbal abuse and then went out of control, resulting in violence.
The situation reached its boiling point after some men from the Gurjar community resorted to gun firing during the heated argument. Tragically, a man from the Jatav community was hit by a bullet and died on the spot, while another victim suffered a gunshot wound to his right hand. After initial treatment at District Hospital Morena, he was later referred to Gwalior for further treatment.
A third individual also sustained injuries in the violence. Police have not disclosed the names of the victims as the situation remains tense in the area. Sources said additional police forces from Morena have been dispatched to restore order and ensure the safety of residents.
Heavy security has been put in place to prevent further escalation. The authorities have assured strict action against those responsible for the violence. (With agencies inputs) ALSO READ: Mehul Choksi Owes Seven-Year Maintenance Fee Worth Rs 63 Lakh, Rs 95 Lakh Other Charges For Mumbai Flats.
