Uttar Pradesh government today transferred the District Magistrate and the Senior Superintendent of Police of Mathura following the violence in the district that left 29 dead even as a probe is on into the clashes.
The Uttar Pradesh government on Monday dismissed BJP’s charge that there was political pressure on police to not evict encroachers from Mathura’s Jawahar Bagh and said the recent violence there was the result of the failure of local authorities.
With this, the death toll has risen to 27 – with three more persons succumbing to injuries.
The encroachers belonged to Swadhin Bharat Vidhik Satyagrah, a self-styled revolutionary sect whose members called themselves followers of freedom fighter Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. “The two of them along with three others were taken to hospital”, he said.
Meanwhile, Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, Union Minister and BJP MP from Fatehpur, has accused state’s PWD Minister Shivpal Singh Yadav of being responsible for the violence and demanded that a case be registered against him.
Another local Sanjeev expressed surprise over the attack saying “the police used to come here every week to put pressure on the encroachers to leave the government land but never in the past they reacted and attacked them like this”. If you really want to get to the bottom of it, you should write to the Centre seeking a CBI probe.

“For the last two years, more than 2000 people were creating an environment of anarchy. SP City Mukul Dwivedi was last heard announcing to the encroachers to leave the land urging them to cooperate with the administration and police”. A veritable armoury was recovered from the township the cult had established at the park following the clashes. Five kg of sulphur, 2.5 kg of gun powder, one kg potash, 500 grams of small iron balls and an electronic plate were found during the search operation in Jawahar Bag yesterday.
