Policemen were attacked in Madhya Pradesh's Dewas, allegedly by members of the sand mafia. 2 police personnel and their driver were attacked with sticks after they reportedly tried to stop a tractor laden with illegally mined sand. Police said that 5 people had been identified and they would be arrested after filing of a First Information Report (FIR). Last year, a Madhya Pradesh minister had reportedly said that the state loses 5-10 crores every day due to illegal sand mining.
