No mercy: Policemen lathi-charging temporary teachers during a rally in support of their various demands at Rohtak in Haryana on Sunday

One female guest teacher was allegedly killed in police firing and several others injured in a cane-charge by Haryana Police at Rohtak on Sunday.

According to reports reaching the State headquarters here, thousands of guest teachers, largely females, were walking towards the residence of Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda in Rohtak to present a memorandum seeking resolution of long-pending demands for regularization when the police stopped them from marching ahead.

This led to verbal skirmishes and the lathi-wielding police reportedly tried to physically remove the protesters. Soon, the reports said, some protestors hurled stones at the cops in retaliation. The police then resorted to cane charge and reportedly opened fire to disperse the agitating teachers.

Even though there was no official confirmation or denial about the incident, reports reaching here said that one teacher identified as Raj Rani of Jind had been reportedly killed in the police firing. These reports also said that three persons with alleged bullet wounds were in a serious condition.

The postmortem examination of Raj Rani, the woman guest teacher who was killed in yesterday’s firing, has belied the claims of the local police and administrative authorities that she had not been shot by the police. The postmortem report revealed that she had died due to shock and haemorrhage caused as a result of firearm (bullet) injury.

As many as four plastic-rubber bullets were also recovered from the abdominal cavity of the woman’s body, which strongly indicates that she had been fired at by the police.

The plastic-rubber bullets are used by the police force to disperse a mob and are fired from a special weapon included under the category of teargas equipment. Hence, contrary to the claims of the local administration and police authorities, it is not practically possible that the bullets were fired by “somebody from the crowd”.

The bullets - which are made of plastic and rubber and are not pointed like the lead bullets - penetrated into the teacher’s body. This very fact indicates that the bullets had been fired from a very close range, which is not the done thing.

As the purpose of using these bullets is just to disperse the crowd and not to injure or kill anybody, these are fired from a distance. But in the give case, the bullets were fired from a close distance, which proved fatal for the woman.

In the given circumstances, the possibility of some other more powerful weapon having been used to fire these bullets can also not be ruled out.

The postmortem report further states that a lot of blood (nearly 2.5 litre) had been lost from the woman’s body, which can be a major factor leading to her death.

According to the Press photographers present at the site of protest, the police personnel deployed there had not allowed anybody to go near the woman after she was injured and fell down for long. Had she been taken to hospital promptly, her life could have been saved.

Deputy commissioner R.S. Doon said the bullets recovered from the woman’s body were being sent to the forensic science laboratory in Madhuban and a final conclusion could be reached only after their report was received.

IGP of the Rohtak range V. Kamaraja said due legal action would be taken in this regard, adding that any policeman found guilty of misconduct would not be spared.


Rohtak : A woman guest teacher was killed and scores of persons, including Rohtak deputy commissioner R.S. Doon, SSP Alok Mittal, protesting guest teachers, police officials and passersby, were injured as a state-level protest demonstration by guest teachers organised here today turned violent.

The trouble began when thousands of guest teachers marching towards the local residence/camp office of Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda were stopped by the police and administrative officials. While the protesters demanded that they would submit a charter of their demands to the CM or his MP son Deepender Singh Hooda, the district officials insisted that the memorandum be submitted to some representative of the CM or MP.

Following this, the protesting teachers staged a dharna on the Sonepat road demanding that the CM or MP, who were in the town today, come there and collect their memorandum.

However, when neither the CM nor the MP reached there for a long time, the protesters started moving towards the CM’s camp office/local residence. When the police officials deputed there tried to stop them, the protesters pelted them with stones. The police then resorted to use of force, including lathicharge, teargas shells and water canons.

The police personnel also fired several shots in the air to control the protesters. Meanwhile, somebody from the crowd also opened fire at the policemen and administrative officials present there. A woman guest teacher, identified as Raj Rani, was hit by a bullet and died.

The deputy commissioner and several policemen present there also received bullet injuries, while the SSP and many other cops were hurt in stone pelting.

In all, nearly 70 guest teachers, 30 policemen and some passersby were injured in the clash. The attendants of the guest teachers were also beaten up at the PGIMS, where they had taken the injured for treatment.

Later, addressing a press conference, the DC and SSP Alok Mittal asserted that some anti-social elements present among the protesters had opened fire, due to which the police action was necessitated.

They claimed that the guest teacher, Raj Rani of Jind district, had not died in police firing. The DC also ordered a magisterial probe into the matter, which will be conducted by Rohtak ADC P.C. Meena.

On the other hand, Arun Malik, president of the Haryana Atithi Adhyapak Sangh, has condemned “brutal” police action on the democratically protesting guest teachers. He said their protest would continue.

Meanwhile, a team of forensic experts visited the scene of crime and began investigations. Another team of ballistic experts from Madhuban is also expected for inspection. A case under various sections of the IPC has been registered in this regard and at least 30 persons have been rounded up by the police.

जांघ के पास लगने के बाद गोलियां पेट तक पहुंच गई। खून की मुख्य वाहिनी फट गई थी जिससे काफी मात्रा में खून बह गया था। डॉक्टरों के मुताबिक यदि समय रहतराजरानी का इलाज हो जाता तो शायद वह बच जाती। पैनल में फॉरेंसिक विभाग के अध्यक्ष डॉ. पीके पालीवाल, वरिष्ठ डॉ. एसके धत्तरवाल, डॉ. बसंत सरोहीवाल तथा डॉ. मीना गिल शामिल थीं। पैनल ने रिपोर्ट निदेशक डॉ. एसएस सांगवान को सौंप दी है। उधर पुलिस ने पोस्टमार्टम के बाद शव को परिजनों के हवाले कर दिया।

पुलिस फायरिंग में शिक्षिका की मौत

मुख्यमंत्री आवास पर प्रदर्शन कर रहे थे अतिथि अध्यापक संघ के कार्यकर्ता

रोहतक, मुख्यमंत्री आवास पर प्रदर्शन कर रहे अतिथि अध्यापक संघ के कार्यकर्ताओं पर पुलिस ने आज जमकर लाठियां भांजी। प्रदर्शन को तितर-बितर करने के लिए पुलिस को अश्रुगैस छोड़नी पड़ी और हालात काबू में आने पर फायरिंग भी करनी पड़ गई। फायरिंग में एक शिक्षिका की मौत हो गई जबकि लाठीचार्ज और अश्रुगैस से कई अन्य अध्यापक घायल हो गए।
प्रदेशभर से आए छह हजार से अधिक अतिथि अध्यापकों ने रोहतक पहुंचकर मुख्यमंत्री को ज्ञापन सौंपने के लिए जुलूस निकाला। जुलूस को मुख्यमंत्री आवास की आ॓र जाते समय शीला बाईपास के पास रोक लिया गया। पुलिस चाहती थी कि ज्ञापन उन्हें ही सौंप दिया जाए, मगर शिक्षक मुख्यमंत्री हुड्डा या फिर सांसद दीपेन्द्र को ज्ञापन सौंपने के लिए सीएम आवास की आ॓र बढ़ने के लिए तत्पर थे। शीला बाईपास पर ही जुलूस को पुलिस ने रोक लिया। पुलिस ने शिक्षकों के उग्र होने पर पहले लाठीचार्ज कर उन्हें तितर-बितर करने का प्रयास किया लेकिन सफलता नहीं मिली और प्रदर्शनकारी पथराव पर उतर आए। इसके बाद पुलिस को पहले आंसू गैस इस्तेमाल करना पड़ा और फिर गोलियां भी चलानी पड़ीं। इसमें सैकड़ों अध्यापक घायल हो गए। बताया जाता है कि फायरिंग में जींद से आई शिक्षिका राजरानी गंभीर रूप से घायल हो गई। उसे अस्पताल पहुंचाया गया, जहां डाक्टरों उसे मृत घोषित कर दिया। घायल हुए बहुत से अतिथि अध्यापक शहर के कई अस्पतालों में इलाज करवा रहे हैं। अतिथि अध्यापक संघ के प्रदेशाध्यक्ष अरूण मलिक ने कहा ‘‘हमलोग कई सालों से स्कूलों में सेवाएं दे रहे हैं, हमें अब नौकरी में पक्का करना चाहिए मगर सरकार हटाने पर तुली हुई है।’’ जानकारी के मुताबिक मुख्यमंत्री हुड्डा उस समय रोहतक में ही थे। बाद में वे दिल्ली के लिए रवाना हो गए।
