Tonk clash: Injured succumbs to death

A man injured during a clash between two groups in Tonk district today succumbed to injuries at the SMS hospital here.
33-year old Nasir was among the 11 people, including five policemen, who were injured in the violence that broke out in the Chavni area yesterday.
Initially, Nasir's family refused to accept the body and demanded compensation.
They were later pacified by the district authorities who promised them compensation of Rs 5 lakh.
"The body was cremated and the situation is peaceful now," Additional SP Prem Singh said, adding that Nasir sustained injuries after falling from a roof during the clash.

Tension had started yesterday when members of minority community objected to the loud music being played by a marriage procession, which was passing from outside a mosque in Chhavni area.
The issue turned ugly when members of both the sides started pelting stones, set ablaze a motorcycle and damaged a police jeep in the night.
Police had to resort to cane charge to quell them in Chhavni area.
