      "175 persons arrested in riot" When Right wings outfits conduct such violence hardly 10 people will be arrested with the promise given by politicians to them they will be bailed immediately. I know how these people are Arrested, Police keep a note on each houses the number of Men, boys in that house. They come to that house at night with the force and drag the youth and men from that house and take them to the custody, put the false case against them and then they show the figures to the media, government. When their parents relatives come in their rescue, Police start looting them and make their money as their source of income. They are so many innocent minorities behind bars for the crime which they have not commit. if they are lucky They will spend around 2-3 years for getting out from the case or else it will take another 10-15 years for them. So many cases has happened but who cares.
