Roorkee: Nearly half a dozen police personnel were injured during a clash that broke out at Belra village in Uttarakhand's Roorkee on Monday evening, over an alleged murder of a person there. The incident prompted district authorities to issue prohibitory orders under Cr PC Section 144 and deploy security forces in the entire village area to bring the situation under control.

Some miscreants allegedly pelted stones at the police teams, leaving nearly half a dozen personnel injured. A few vehicles were also allegedly set on fire, forcing police to use force and use tear gas to disperse the mob.

"More than 24 people have been arrested so far," the police said. 

According to officials, the matter pertains to the death of a person in Belra village. The villagers were not satisfied with the investigation done in the case and alleged that the person was murdered but nothing as such has been found in the investigation.

"The situation is under control, and we are further looking into the matter," police said. (with ANI inputs)
