A shocking incident of violence unfolded in the Tijara panchayat committee area of Khairthal-Tijara district in Alwar, following the declaration of local panchayat election results. Munni, wife of Akram Khan, was officially declared the winning candidate for the post of sarpanch from Palpur village panchayat. Following her victory, a police team was assigned to escort her safely back to her residence as part of standard security arrangements. However, the convoy faced a sudden and violent assault midway through the journey.
According to authorities, as the police vehicles and the sarpanch's car approached Gherbasai village under the jurisdiction of the Sheikhpur Ahir police station, a large group of individuals suddenly surrounded both vehicles. The attackers launched heavy stone-pelting and began striking the official and private vehicles with sticks and clubs. This abrupt ambush created immediate chaos and panic at the scene, catching the security detail off guard as they navigated the rural stretch.
The violent confrontation resulted in injuries to an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) attached to the Chopanki police station. Furthermore, the attackers smashed the windows of sarpanch Munni's vehicle, causing extensive damage to the bodywork. The mob also targeted the accompanying police vehicle, pelting it with stones and inflicting significant damage. The severity of the assault sent shockwaves through the local police administration, prompting an immediate request for reinforcements to manage the escalating crisis.
Responding swiftly to the emergency, additional police forces were dispatched to the location. The backup personnel secured the perimeter, restored order, and successfully transported the victorious sarpanch to her home without further incident. A formal case was subsequently registered at the Sheikhpur Ahir police station based on a complaint filed by sarpanch Munni, naming and implicating over two dozen individuals in the coordinated attack.
Tijara Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Shivraj Singh stated that law enforcement agencies have already apprehended six accused individuals in connection with the violence, while efforts to identify and capture the remaining suspects are actively underway. The DSP assured the public that the situation in the area is currently stable and under close watch. Police are continuing their investigation into the exact motives behind the assault and the specific roles played by those involved in targeting the elected representative and law enforcement officers.
