Four injured in clash over property dispute

Four persons, including two women, were today injured when some persons allegedly attacked them with sharp-edged weapons in a bid to take possession of a piece of land in the Govind Nagar area here.
Claiming that the injured were their supporters, BJP and RSS activists held protests outside the Govind Nagar police station, and demanded action against a police constable, close to the attackers, who allegedly opened fire in the melee from his service revolver.
City SP Omveer Singh said, "Constable Arvind has been withdrawn from duty and inquiry was ordered. If he is found guilty, stern action would be taken against him."

Former minister Ravi Kant Garg, who was leading the protest, said they would intensify their agitation if the authorities failed to punish the guilty.
"The trouble started when some anti-social elements started construction activities on a plot of land owned by RSS activist Nanak Chand," he said, adding "after being opposed, they attacked Nanak, his wife Munni Devi, sister-in-law Ataro Devi and brother Mohan".
The injured were admitted to the district hospital.
Police have nabbed five of the six assailants.
