Two villagers, including a woman, were killed and four others injured after police opened fire to control a protesting mob in Aurangabad district.
A violent mob torched an area and police station to protest the alleged harassment and ill-treatment meted out to women by security personnel during anti-Maoist operation.
Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police, Chiranjeev Prasad, met the injured and urged them not to attack police personnel.
"I came here to meet the injured in police firing, who had attacked the police. I took stock of their health. I also tried to convince them not to attack the police personnel. I have sympathy for them. I also assured them that they would get better treatment," said Prasad in neighbouring Gaya district.
Prasad also gave money to injured people for treatment. The situation in the area is tense but under control.
