Six cops injured as villagers clash with police in Chhattisgarh’s Surajpur coal mine protest
At least half a dozen police personnel, including a Deputy Superintendent of Police, clashed with villagers in Chhattisgarh’s Surajpur district on Friday (July 24, 2026).The police said that they were attacked by a mob when they had gone to arrest an accused in a pending criminal case. The villagers asserted that the police team was accompanying a survey team for land acquisition for mining, a claim contested by a senior police officer. However, we did not expect the opposition to turn so violent.
