The police fired in the air as a group of students from New Delhi clashed with local people at Bijrani gate of Jim Corbett National park at Ramnagar area of Nainital district. The Corbett administration also slapped a fine of Rs 10,000 on the students of Kanshiram College of Higher Education for violating the norms of the park, official sources said today (Feb 21).
The incident took place last evening when the students visiting the Corbett park by a jeep got down from the vehicle. Their guide Shailendra Rawat, however, asked them not to do so as it is prohibited in the park. Soon, an altercation erupted between them. It later turned into a scuffle and the students beat up Rawat.
As the news spread, the police reached the spot and tried to take the students outside the park. Meanwhile, a large number of people also gathered at the gate of the Corbett park and beat up the students. When the police intervened, the mob also tried to snatch their arms. Later, the police fired in the air to disperse the mob. After paying the fine of Rs 10,000, the students left for New Delhi.
