Police lathicharge mob at Palghar counting centre, 17 hurt

MUMBAI: Around 17 women and men were injured when the police resorted to a lathicharge to control the mob at a counting centre in Palghar on Monday.

The counting of the Palghar Municipal Council elections held on Sunday was on at the Palghar Panchayat Samiti Auditorim from 10 am.

The police had barricaded the entire area. As results for the 28 seats started tricking in, the local unit of the Shiv Sena began celebrating as they were ahead with victory in 10 seats.

The mob tried to break the barricade, following which the police had to resort to lathicharge.

The angry mob retaliated and hurled stones at the policemen. At least 17 persons, most of them women and young girls sustained head injuries. They have been admitted to a nearby hospital.

The final results of the civic elections are awaited.

The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) which earlier ruled the municipality got six seats. The Bahujan Vikas Aghadi (BVA) party of former Vasai MLA Hitendra Thakur did not win any seats.

A total of 122 candidates had contested the election which saw a voter turnout of 75%.
