Chattarpur (MP), Oct 28 (PTI) A man was killed and another was seriously injured when they jumped from the third floor of a house to escape the police during a raid on a gambling party. Police raided the house of Rajesh Goswami last night near a local church here after receiving a tip-off that some people had gathered there for gambling on the occasion of Diwali, said City Superintendent of Police (CSP) D K Rathore. Two of the group tried to escape by jumping from the third-floor house. One of them was killed, while the other was seriously injured. He was taken to Gwalior for treatment, the CSP said. The deceased man was identified as Chotu Sen. However, Goswami's mother, Ramsakhi Bai, alleged that police entered the house forcibly and pushed the two men down from the third-floor. Enraged locals attacked the police. Taking a serious note of the incident, Chhattarpur's Superintendent of Police, P S Bisht, has ordered suspension of five policemen, and also directed registration of a case under section 338 of the IPC (causing grievous hurt) against them. Incidentally, in a somewhat similar incident, a youth was killed when police raided a field where some men were gambling on the occasion of Diwali near Babai town of Hoshangabad district on Wednesday night. Locals alleged that the youth was beaten up by the police, while the police claimed that he fell while trying to run off and suffered fatal injuries.
