Kumbla, September 27: A protest march, taken out by DYFI to the Kumbla grama panchayat office on Monday, demanding probe into the alleged irregularities in the Centre's job guarantee programme, ended up in violence and stone pelting at the police.
Police said they resorted to lathi charge as DYFI men started pelting stones at them. The injured DYFI man Koggu, 22, Kumbla village secretary of the DYFI and Nizam, 21, member of the Bambrana village committee were admitted to Kumbla cooperative hospital.
Two civil police officers and two DYFI activists sustained injuries in stone throwing and police lathi charge.
Senior civil police officers Sandeep, 31, and Suresh Cyriac were also admitted to hospital as they sustained injuries in stone throwing.
The march which started from the town was blocked by the police near the panchayat office resulting in scuffle, pushing and jostling by the police and the DYFI men.
