2 killed in Bihar firing

By K. Balchand

PATNA, AUG. 6. Two persons were killed and three others injured when police opened fire at flood victims who turned violent in Muzaffarpur district today.

Police resorted to firing at Aurai when the flood victims went on the rampage at a relief centre and later gheraoed the Aurai police station, which they sought to burn down, besides brickbatting the policemen. Police claimed they had to open fire in self-defence. Unofficial sources, however, put the toll at six.
