A gangster in Rajasthan whose body was kept in a freezer for 20 days as his family demanded an investigation into his death in an encounter with the police was cremated this evening. Anand Pal Singh, 47, wanted in 37 cases including murder, was shot dead on June 24 in an encounter that his family and supporters in Nagaur say was staged.
Today, the family was ordered to go ahead with his last rites by the State human rights commission, a day after violent protests in which a man was killed and over 20 policemen injured. A mob last evening attacked a police team with stones and set an officer's vehicle and four buses on fire.
