Earlier, there there was a deadlock over post-mortem of the youth's body, as the next of his kin had refused to accept his body while demanding suspension of the staff of Ramganj police station, compensation and a government job for a family member.
An altercation between a police constable and a couple during a routine vehicle check in the Ramganj area on Friday evening snowballed into a major law and order situation, as hundreds of people gathered outside the police station and pelted stones. About 12 persons, including some policemen, were injured and several vehicles were torched in the violence.
