Chandigarh : Eight more people from the Jat community have been

polio-stricken Suman and his father Tarachand were burnt alive.

said police sources. With this, the total number of those arrested in
the case has gone up to 41.

In a case registered with the local police station soon after the
torching incident, the Dalits had named 47 persons. In a fresh
complaint, they named 104 persons.

DSP Ramphal, supervising the security arrangement at Mirchpur village,
said more than 250 Haryana Armed Police personnel and local police had
