Ranchi violence claims DSP's life

RANCHI, DEC. 31The Deputy Superintendent of Police of Hatia in Jharkhand, Mr. U.C. Jha, who was injured in mob violence here on Thursday, died in hospital today.

The mob was protesting against the killing of a seven-year-old girl in an accident which then led to police firing in which three youths were killed.

The State Chief Secretary, Mr. V.S. Dubey, said the administration earlier planned to relax the curfew in Ranchi tomorrow but was now having a rethink following the death of Mr. Jha.

However, no untoward incident was reported from anywhere in the capital during the curfew relaxation period today.

Jawans of the CRPF and the Rapid Action Force were patrolling in and around Ranchi.
