The district of Harda in Madhya Pradesh faced significant disruption on Saturday, responding to a bandh initiated by the Karni Sena and Rajput leaders. The protest was in reaction to what they claim was excessive police action against their members.
A silent march drew around 5,000 participants, resulting in the closure of most shops for a large part of the day. The march originated from the Rajput Hostel, with demonstrators demanding a judicial investigation and the suspension of involved police officers.
The tension stems from a July 13 incident where police resorted to a lathi-charge during a Karni Sena protest over a diamond-related arrest. Community leaders and politicians have criticized police conduct, demanding accountability and the repeal of alleged false cases.
