to hand over to them six people of a nomadic community who,
according to the locals, were man-eaters.

pelted stones at the Mabubi police station where the six
nomadic people were kept after being rescued by the police
from a section of the people of Kothia and Makhnai villages.
Two policemen were injured in the brickbatting,
following which the force used batons to disperse the mob, the
