Agnipath: Firing, arson and vandalism in Haryana's Palwal; Internet suspended

Protesters torched government vehicles, pelted stones at the deputy commissioner’s home and left 17 policemen injured in Palwal as protests erupted in six Haryana districts over the Centre’s Agnipath scheme for recruitment to defence services. The authorities imposed prohibitory orders and suspended mobile internet services in Palwal to stop the spread of rumours through social media platforms.
