Three persons were injured in a clash between police and a stone pelting mob as police fired in the air to control them at Joypur during a 24-hour bandh called by the All Bodoland Minority Students Union (ABMSU) in Kokrajhar district today.
When a police team led by Additional Superintendent of Police H.K. Nath faced stone pelting bandh supporters, they used lathis, gas shells and finally fired several rounds in the air to disperse them, Kokrajhar SP J. Doley said.
Three persons sustained injuries in the clash between police and the bandh supporters and they were admitted to hospital.
Police also picked up around 10-12 picketeers.
The bandh was called in protest against damage to the signboard of a local Idgah by miscreants in Badlangmari area.
