PUNE: The rural police on Tuesday registered one more FIR related to the January 1 caste clashes at Koregaon Bhima following a complaint from local resident Mangal Kailas Kamble (55), alleging that a group of rioters had ransacked her food stall and house.“This is 31st FIR related to the clashes,” a senior police officer told TOI. At this juncture, it will not be appropriate to comment on the course of the investigation.”A large number of Dalit community members had gathered at the Koregaon Bhima victory tower to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the battle of Koregaon Bhima fought between the British and the Peshwa troops on January 1, 1818. My sons later took me to a hospital for treatment of the injury I suffered in the attack. Around 11am, a group of youths arrived on motorcycles and asked us to stop performing the puja. The Dalits, along with Muslims, Jews and other communities, were a part of the British troops who prevailed over the Peshwas in the battle..
