At least one person was killed and 32 people, including more than 20 policemen, were injured in Nagaur district of Rajasthan after a rally organised by Rajput outfits demanding a CBI probe into gangster Anandpal Singh’s death turned violent on Wednesday evening, officials said on Thursday. Anandpal, who belonged to the Ravana Rajput community, was on the run since September 2015 after escaping from police custody. Police said Haryana’s Lalchand Sharma died in the clashes, and Mahendra Singh, a resident of Jodhpur, was critically injured. A curfew has been imposed in Saanvrad and the internet connection in Nagaur district has been cut off. There is anger among the Rajput community and that’s why I have appealed to them to march towards Jaipur,” he added.
