Etawah road accident sparks off agitation

ETAWAH - Etawah locals turned violent on Wednesday following the death of a youth in a head on car-bike collision.

The violent locals damaged public property and pelted stones on police, as they attempted to bring the situation under control.

The authorities reportedly rushed additional policemen when the situation turned out of control. But the move was too late, as much damage had been caused by then.

The police resorted to baton charge in an effort to control the unruly mob.

The traffic on the national highway that passes through the city remained affected for nearly two hours due to the violence. (ANI)
