Police Clash in Ranchi: Officers Lathicharged by Fellow Policemen

Ranchi, July 19, 2024 – In a surprising turn of events, police officers found themselves at odds with one another, leading to a lathicharge by fellow policemen in Ranchi today. The incident unfolded during a protest by lower-ranked police personnel who were demonstrating against grievances related to working conditions, pay disparities, and alleged mistreatment by senior officers.

The protest began peacefully with police personnel assembling near the headquarters to voice their demands. Tensions, however, quickly escalated as attempts to engage in dialogue with the administration failed. The protesters, feeling ignored and frustrated, began marching towards the senior officials’ offices, shouting slogans and holding placards.

As the crowd grew more agitated, higher-ranked officers ordered a dispersal to prevent any escalation into violence. When the protesters refused to disperse, the situation became chaotic. In an unexpected and dramatic scene, riot police were deployed to manage the situation. The standoff between the two groups of police personnel led to a lathicharge, traditionally used to control unruly crowds.

Eyewitnesses reported scenes of confusion and distress as police lathicharged their colleagues, leading to several injuries. “It was a shocking sight,” said an onlooker. “Police clashing with police is something you don’t expect to see.”

Injured officers were swiftly taken to nearby hospitals for treatment. Meanwhile, senior officials from the police department have called for an urgent inquiry into the incident. They expressed regret over the situation and emphasized the need for maintaining discipline and unity within the force.

A meeting between representatives of the protesting officers and senior officials has been scheduled for tomorrow to discuss and resolve the issues at hand.

This unprecedented clash has sparked widespread concern and debate about internal management within the police department, highlighting the urgent need for reforms and better communication channels within the force
