CHANDIGARH: As many as four UT cops were injured and several police vehicles were damaged as armed protesters from the Qaumi Insaaf Morcha clashed with police at the Sector 52/43 dividing road when stopped from entering Chandigarh from Mohali on Tuesday.
Sector 11 station house officer (SHO) inspector Jaiveer Singh suffered a gash on the head after being attacked with a sword amid the violence. Additionally, ASI Ramesh Kumar, ASI Gurjeet Singh and female constable Jaspreet Kaur were also injured.
Exactly two years ago, Qaumi Insaaf Morcha had laid siege to the YPS Chowk in Mohali on January 7, 2023, demanding release of Sikh prisoners who they claim have completed their jail terms. The protesters have also been seeking a murder case against officials and politicians allegedly responsible for the police action on Sikh protesters at Kotkapura and Behbal Kalan, besides seeking a probe into the disappearance of 328 swaroops of Guru Granth Sahib.
To mark the second anniversary of their agitation on Tuesday, the morcha had issued a call for a march towards the residence of Punjab chief minister in Chandigarh.
