Mob Fury in Ranchi: Police Station Vandalized After Accident Victim's Death

In a dramatic turn of events in Ranchi's Pandra, a police station was vandalized and its officer-in-charge was injured following the death of a road accident victim. A senior police officer reported the incident, which took place on Saturday evening, as tensions escalated in the region.

After a resident of Gumla district succumbed to injuries from a road accident, an enraged mob stormed the Pandra police station. The unrest was fueled by demands for justice and compensation from the family members and locals, leading to a confrontation with Officer Manish Gupta.

Despite initial assurances from the police regarding action against the accident-involved truck owner, the situation spiraled out of control, prompting the deployment of additional security forces to restore order. Officer Gupta was hospitalized following the assault, and investigations are underway to identify the attackers.
