Eyewitnesses said the violence broke out after a policeman tried to stop a man on a motorbike during a routine vehicle check in the city’s Ramganj area, NDTV reported. The officer conducting the check allegedly hit the man as he tried to ride away.
“A petty dispute between a police constable and a motorcycle-borne couple late on Friday led to clashes between the locals and the police,” Jaipur Police Commissioner Sanjay Agarwal told PTI.
Reports said hundreds gathered at a police station in the area and started throwing stones. The force used teargas to disperse the mob that went on a rampage, setting a power house and a few vehicles on fire.
“A curfew was imposed around 1 am in Ramganj area, where the violence broke out,” Agarwal said. The localities of Manak Chowk, Subhash Chowk, and Galta Gate are also under curfew. Mobile internet services have been suspended.
