Following Sunday’s violence in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal district, police have intensified their investigation. Police have identified more than 100 stone-pelters through mobile CCTV and drone cameras. Of them, 27 accused have been arrested. Among the 27 accused detained by the police were also some minor children. Meanwhile, the police have made a shocking revelation citing the arrested accused. Those accused of stoning had adopted a terrible trick to escape police tear gas.
How to avoid tear gas
Among the violence accused arrested by the Sambhal police are three accused who, when caught by the police, had green colored lotion applied above and below their eyes. When the police questioned the arrested accused, they were told that they had applied this green colored lotion to protect themselves from tear gas. Applying this green lotion reduces the effect of tear gas on the eyes.
Three women were also arrested.
Police also arrested three women for pelting stones and inciting violence against police in Sambhal. In the Sambhal violence case, the police have registered separate cases, one of which includes the names of Sambhal MP Ziaur Rahman Vark and Suhail Iqbal, son of Sambhal MLA Iqbal Mahmood.
