On Wednesday morning, the villagers took the girl’s body in a tractor and attempted to block the road. The villagers were demanding that the arrest of the accused youth wasn’t sufficient, as his house needed to be bulldozed.Acting in the matter, the police convinced the villagers not to resort to the road blockade, after which the girl’s body was cremated at around 2.30 pm.Just around two hours later, a large section of the village, particularly youths, went on the rampage, demanding that the accused be also booked for murder and his house bulldozed.With the mob continuing to target properties of the particular community, police force from adjoining police stations too was pressed into action in Umarcha village.The deputy inspector general of police (DIG-Bhopal Rural) OP Tripathi and SP-Vidisha Rohit Kashwani are personally supervising the police operations in the village, where the situation was stated to be under control by late evening.(If you are having suicidal thoughts, or are worried about a friend or need emotional support, someone is always there to listen.
