Alwar, Nov. 1 -- A deputy superintendent of police and three other cops were injured after protesters allegedly pelted stones at them in Rajpur Bada village in Alwar district on Saturday, following an overnight protest over alleged irregularities in the sarpanch election. Police said they detained six people and deployed additional personnel in the village under Rajgarh Panchayat Samiti. Protesters also allegedly vandalised police vehicles and motorcycles, prompting police to resort to a lathi charge to disperse crowd. DSP Deshraj Kuldeep and assistant sub-inspector Kamam Khan sustained head injuries, while two constables were also injured. The injured personnel were taken to local healthcare facilities for treatment. Alwar superintendent of police Sudhir Chaudhary said the protest began after the sarpanch election results were announced late Friday. "After the results were announced, one side alleged rigging in the voting in Rajpur Bada, Rajgarh, and villagers staged a protest. On Saturday afternoon, police and administration officials were trying to pacify them when some women protesters began pelting stones at police. Several police personnel were injured and are receiving treatment," the SP said. The protest was led by defeated sarpanch candidate Mahendra Kumar Sharma and his supporters, who alleged a discrepancy between the number of votes reportedly cast and those counted. He alleged that their complaint was not addressed before the winner was declared. His supporters subsequently continued their protest. The police statement did not address the counting allegation. Chaudhary said that the situation had been brought under control....
