In two occasions, witnessing the barbarism 2 sick and aged men died of scare of ferocity in Udaipur Sub-Division. In two places, domestic animals were killed by burning. Many vehicles were burnt. Many motor workers were barred to ply vehicles in the schedule routes. Hundreds of shops were ransacked, looted, locked or set on fire.

The habitants at places were forced to stay in jungle out of fear”, the memorandum reads.

“A complete lawlessness has been prevailing in the state from last 2nd March onwards. The police in many places though are trying to take control over the situation, but they don’t dare to arrest any perpetrator because they have attachment with ruling BJP. That is why, though thousands of incidents of attacks have been reported so far, hardly there is report of arrest of any culprits”, the opposition leaders have alleged.
