“The hearing was going on and I demanded a surety for their release, but they were not able to furnish it on time, and hence their release got delayed,” said Yadav.
Some SP workers got agitated over the delay and began protesting. Later, more SP members joined the protest. Police had to resort to lathi-charge to disperse the mob.
Yadav said 10 identified and 30 unidentified others have been booked for rioting and other offenses.
