Eleven people have been arrested and several others detained in connection with the killing of a police constable in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur district, a senior police official said on Sunday.
The constable Suresh Vats (48) was killed Saturday when protesters hurled stones at vehicles returning from the venue of a public meeting addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He was hit on the head by a stone when he went to end a traffic jam caused by the protests.
Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Anand Kumar said, "Eleven people have been arrested and several others detained in the killing of a police constable in Ghazipur."
