Dalit fury: Police were caught
MUMBAI: With Dalit fury triggering large-scale violence across the state, the police's handling of the situation came in for heavy criticism on Thursday even from certain sections in the government.
Addressing the media, director general of police P S Pasricha said the situation was brought under control by Thursday afternoon.
More than 60 persons, including 45 policemen, were injured in the stone pelting and over 100 buses were damaged, he added.
Pasricha said police had attempted to quell the violence by arresting as many as 1,500 people across Maharashtra who were caught pelting stones, indulging in arson, and damaging public property.
Observers, however, said that the police should have anticipated trouble given that the desecration of the Ambedkar statue took place the previous afternoon.
"The police should have stepped up security and not waited for the situation to get out of hand by Thursday morning. Protesters came onto the streets early Thursday morning fully aware that there was a thinner police presence," said an officer.
Senior officers admitted that they had not anticipated the scale of the protests in Mumbai as mobs spread out from pockets close to the highways early in the day.
Once large mobs took to the streets, it was difficult for police to control them, nor did they have enough time to rush reinforcements.
BEST and MSRTC buses, too, were not alerted about any possible trouble to enable them to take precautions.
