A person died during a stampede triggered by the police lobbing tear gas shells and using batons to disperse a mob obstructing their search operation to rescue three policemen, who were abducted by 'Pathalgarhi' supporters in Khunti district, a senior police officer said.
The policemen were abducted from BJP MP Karia Munda's residence at Anigada-Chandih yesterday.
As the police launched an operation to free the cops, they were attacked by the villagers at Ghagra with arrows, swords and stones.
The police lobbed tear gas shells and resorted to baton charge that led to the stampede in which several policemen and villagers were injured, Additional Director General of Police R K Malik said
