Talaiya police station in-charge D P Singh said, “Due to the complete bandh imposed in Bhopal, four-five policemen reached Islamnagar under Talaiya police station at around 10 pm on Monday night to disperse the crowd. As soon as the police asked the crowd to disperse, about 20 people, including two history-sheeters Shahid Kabutar and Mohsin Kachori, present there, attacked the police team with knives, sticks and stones. Two policemen Laxman Yadav and Satish Kumar were injured in this incident.” He said, “Both these policemen have been attacked with knives. Laxman Yadav has been stabbed near the neck, while Satish Kumar has been stabbed in the hand.”

Singh said that the accused Shahid Kabutar is about 35 years old, while Mohsin Kachori is about 25-26 years old. He said, “In this case we have registered a case against six-seven named and 10-12 unknown accused.” He said, “We have sent three police parties to catch the accused.” Singh said that till now no accused has been arrested. They will be caught soon.
It is noteworthy that the area where the policemen were attacked is a Muslim-dominated area. Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan wrote on Twitter, “Attacks on policemen who are working day and night to protect the public from this epidemic will not be tolerated. Be it ‘pigeon’ or ‘kachori’, no one will be spared.” He said, “It is very important to teach a lesson to the goons and miscreants who spread anarchy. Action will be taken against these goons under the National Security Act.”
