Police on lockdown duty lob tear gas shells to control stone pelting mob in Shahpur area of wall city Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad: Police had to lob tear gas shells to control stone pelting goons in wall city Ahmedabad’s communally sensitive Shahpur area. The locals gathered in a street, breaching the lockdown orders were asked by jawans to move inside. Instead of obeying orders, the locals started pelting stones. Later tear gas shells were lobbed to control the violent mob. Soon more police and para military force arrived and controlled the situation. Police inspector of Shahpur police station is reportedly injured in this incident along with two other cops. At least three persons are detained. It’s worth noting that wall city area of Ahmedabad is in grip of growing number of Covid19 cases. It’s becoming very challenging for police to implement strict lockdown especially during the month of Ramzan. Incidents of police attack in Ahmedabad during lockdown have taken place earlier in Juhapura and Gomtipur areas also.
