BJP Mahila Morcha march to CM's residence foiled

The Mahila Morcha alleged that police used force on them in which about six women activists injured, a charge which was denied by police.
"We were moving ahead peacefully but police stopped us near civil lines railway crossing. Women were cane-charged by police in which our six activists have injured," Purvi Joshi, a Mahila Morcha activist alleged.
She said that they wanted to hand over a representation to CM on deteriorating law and order and atrocities on women.

Sumit Gupta, ACP-Ashok Nagar, however, denied the use of force.
"Women tried to cross the blockade so they were pushed and dispersed but no lathicharge took place," he said.
