Jharkhand Protests: FIR against 300 unnamed people

New Delhi: Police on Thursday registered an FIR against 300 unidentified people over the August 10 march to the Jharkhand Assembly to protest alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations.

The case was registered against the unnamed people for violating prohibitory orders, causing damage to government property and attacking police personnel, a senior officer said.

“An FIR has been lodged against 300 unknown miscreants at the Vidhan Sabha police station for disrupting the peaceful march to the assembly on August 10,” Ranchi SP Paras Rana said.

The process to identify these miscreants is underway through video footages, said SDPO (Hatia), Neeraj Kumar. 

He said the case was lodged based on the complaint of a magistrate, who was deployed near the Assembly during the students’ march. “No detention or arrest was made in connection with the case. Video clips are being scanned to identify miscreants and take further action,” Kumar added.
