Twenty people are injured and undergoing treatment after violent clashes in parts of Jharkhand's Ranchi during protests against now-suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma's objectionable remarks against Prophet Muhammad and Islam. The protesters were demanding the arrest of Ms Sharma. Among them is a young man who was shot six times and is recovering at a hospital. रांची हिंसा में घायल शख्स ने कहा, 6 गोलियां लगी थीं, दो अभी भी शरीर में, खुद को बताया बेकसूर, देखिए मनीष कुमार की रिपोर्ट pic.twitter.com/LpHQ1kzkmL
Absar, a young man getting treated at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), said he was returning from the market when he noticed the chaos and was hit by bullets. He claims he was returning from the market and was not participating in the protest when he saw a group of people pelting stones, and the police firing in response. He said he tried to get away but was shot at and fell to the ground. He was shot six times, he says, adding that four bullets have been taken out but two are still lodged in his body.
The doctor has said they'll take out the rest of the bullets in a few days.
