Tension follows bandit's arrest

Morena, MP, Nov 7 (UNI) Tension prevailed at this district's Porsa township after a bandh was called to protest today's arrest of a member of dacoit chieftain Jagjivan Parihar's gang.

Aditya Tomar alias Jantri, who carried a reward of Rs 15,000, was apprehended during an encounter in Bhind district. Some of his supporters damaged a bank and also the vehicle of Porsa's Sub-Divisional Officer (Police) Rakesh Sengar. A sizeable police force has been rushed to the township.

''Normalcy has been restored. Tomar stands accused in dozens of cases including murder, abduction and loot in this state and neighbouring Uttar Pradesh,'' said Additional Superintendent of Police Rakesh Pratap Singh.
