[Dawn] An Indian policeman who was injured in festivities during a protest over a gang-rape in New Delhi died on Tuesday, a police front man said. The 47-year-old police constable, Subash Tomar, was deployed at the India Gate monument on Sunday to control the protests. He was beaten up by a mob and rushed to hospital by the police. "The protesters pelted stones at Tomar, he was unconscious for two days and today he died," New Delhi police front man Rajan Bhagat told AFP. More than 50 coppers were maimed in Sunday's violence as police struggled to quell increasing outrage over sex crimes following the gang-rape of a student. |
