Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], Apr. 04 (NT): Curfew will remain imposed in different areas of Gwalior, Bhind and Morena districts on Wednesday in the lieu of violence witnessed by the state on April 2 during Bharat Bandh as ANI reported.

However, the curfew would be relaxed for two hours between 10 am and 12 noon, according to police.

On Tuesday, 50 people were arrested for pelting stones at a police force in Morena.

Meanwhile, the death toll due to violent behavior reached seven in the state after one more body was recovered yesterday in the morning.

Violent protests stained the nationwide blackout that was called by several Dalit organizations to protest against the alleged dilution of the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.

 Total at least 11 people have died across the country in the aggression that broke out in various states, including Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Bihar, Gujarat, and Punjab.

In the latest development, the Supreme Court has rejected to put stay order on its March 20 judgment, after Centre filed a review petition against the same.

The top court, on March 20, introduced the provision of anticipatory bail in the act while directing that there would be no automatic arrest on any complaint filed under the law. This judgment allegedly exasperated the Dalits who claimed that the act has been diluted. (NT)
