Hundreds of people on Sunday held a protest against local police outside GIMS Hospital in Kalaburagi, over the death of a three-year-old child who was sent to jail along with her mother.

The girl, who was sent to jail along with her parents over a clash, died in Kalaburagi on Saturday. With the deterioration of health in the jail, the girl was rushed to Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS) in Kalaburagi where she breathed her last on Saturday morning.


“A woman was arrested in a case and was jailed with her child in Jewargi police station. The child got sick and was sent to the hospital where she died. A probe is on,” said Kalaburagi SP Simi Mariam George.

Jewargi MLA and Congress leader Dr Ajay Singh, who was holding a protest with his party members, said: “A fight erupted between two groups on December 30 during Gram Panchayat election results. The people from our party were put in jail under non-bailable sections of laws. But the police put supporters of the ruling party under bailable offence and they got bail at the station itself. On December 31, women and children were arrested the three-year-old girl was killed on Saturday. I am holding the police responsible for this. We want enquiry in this case.”

The police assured the protesters of fair enquiry into the case and the demonstration ended after the assurance.
