Surat: More than 65 members of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) were detained in Surat for protesting over the head clerk exam paper leak on Thursday. A police inspector was injured during the protest when some AAP workers entered into a scuffle with the cops deployed at the district collector’s office.
The AAP wanted to give a memorandum to the collector in which they had demanded the resignation of Gujarat Subordinate Service Selection Board (GSSSB) chairman Asit Vora.
As the AAP workers were prevented by the policemen from entering the collector’s office premises, they entered into a heated argument. After several warnings, the police started detaining AAP workers. When some workers and cops entered into a scuffle Umra police inspector D K Patel suffered injury on his leg.
Around 19 AAP members were detained from the collector’s office and 47 from Gandhi Baug crossroad in Chowk Bazar, where the party workers wanted to sit on indefinite fast. The AAP also demanded Rs 50,000 compensation to students besides independent inquiry into the alleged attack on AAP leaders in Gandhinagar.
