2 Held, 6 Cops Suspended After Clash With Students At Prayagraj Station

Prayagraj: Congress' Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has condemned the use of force against job aspirants, who had gathered there in protest against alleged irregularities in a railway recruitment exam.

The Uttar Pradesh Police on Wednesday arrested two people and lodged a case against around 1,000 unidentified persons in connection with the alleged rioting and blocking of the rail track at the local railway station by some job aspirants.

Six policemen were also suspended with immediate effect for using unnecessary force during the incident, which took place on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the search is on for another accused who allegedly made provocative remarks on social media.

A senior police official told reporters that it appears that the accused had taken "money from some political parties" to create unrest. A police team has been constituted to probe the incident from this angle.
