RAF's jawans have reached the Ghaghra village of Jharkhand's Khoonti, Pathalgadi supporters started the ruckus when the jawans reached the village. To control the crowd, the police left the bullets and tear gas shells. After this, the Pathalgadi supporters withdrew behind. In addition, the police has evacuated the Ghaghra village.

On the other hand, the three abducted jawans are still in possession of Pathalgadi supporters. Abducted policemen include Subodh Kuzur, Vinod Kerketta and Sion Surin.

A large number of women were also involved in the attackers. All people were armed with traditional weapons like arrows and bow, towing and axles and sticks. Let's say that in the Jharkhand's Khoonti, Pathalgadi supporters kidnapped Bharatiya Janata Party MP Karia Munda's three bodyguards on Tuesday.

Before this, Kadia Munda and his son are still in Delhi, while daughter in law was inside the house. The attackers did not harm the families of Kadia Munda or the surrounding villagers.

At the time of the attack, the bodyguard, Baiju Uraon had closed the grill of the house, due to which the Pathalgadi supporters could not get inside the house.

The terror of Pathalgadi supporters is so high that till 5 pm, the police did not reach the house of Kadiya Munda, whereas the distance from Chanddih to Khoonti district headquarter is just six kilometers. After five o'clock, the police force left for a large number of Chanddih. Khoonti Deputy Commissioner and SP were also involved with the police force.

Bhabhi Chireeshwari Devi of MP and former Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker Kadiya Munda said that during the attack, three bodyguards were sitting outside in plain dress. The assailants dragged them. They did not see the carrying arms.

But Kundia Munda's bodyguard, Baiju Uraon, said that there were five INSAS rifles in the jawans' room. Only one of these rifles is left. This means that four INSAS rifles have been robbed by the Pathalgadi supporters. After the attack, Baiju Uraon gave the information to the police. The meeting was going on after Pathalgadi in Ghaghra village about three and a half kilometers from there.

It was discussed in the village that the Pathalgadi supporters had kept the abductors under the meeting place of the Ghaghra village.

Actually, the police was in the mood of action against Pathalgadi supporters since late night on Monday. At three o'clock in the morning, the police raided the house of Yusuf Poorti, a village located in Murahoo block of village Udiburoo. Yusuf Poorti had not been caught in the raid and he left the place.

Yusuf Poorti alleges that the police had ransacked his house and misbehaved with women.

On Tuesday, there was going to be Pathalgadi in Ghaghra village of Khoonti block. In this program, the leaders of Pathalgadi supporters Yusuf Poorti and John Junas Tidoo were also to participate. To stop this program and arrest both the leaders, a large number of police left for the Ghaghra. Kadia Munda's village is Chanddih on the middle road. At the same time, the police clashed with Pathalgadi supporters. The police asked the supporters to return, but when the supporters did not ready, the police charged the sticks on Pathalgadi supporters and dispersed them. After this the police returned back to Khoonti.

Here the Pathalgadi supporters reunited there. There they came to know that a policeman charging the sticks came to Kadia Munda's house. While searching for him, they reached the residence of Kadia Munda. After that they dragged the police personnel stationed there and dragged them away.

Asked about this case from Yusuf Poorti, leader of Pathalgadi supporters, he said that the policemen are safe and the Gram Sabha have taken them in their custody.

Let us tell that in the tribal areas of Jharkhand these days, the campaign of Pathalgadi has been spread. Here the tribals in the villages are demanding self-government through Pathalgadi. In many villages tribal people are demanding 'their rule, their rule' by doing Pathalgadi. Not only this, the gram sabhas started issuing till the decree. Apart from this, many incidents have also been reported in several villages for making hostages of policemen for hours.

In tribal communities and villages, the tradition of Pathalgadi is in vogue with law and order. It contains information about Mauja, Seemna, Gram Sabha and the authority. Pathalgadi is also used to keep the memory of the genealogy, ancestry and the dead (dead person). In many places, Pathalgadi was also being held in honor of the brave Sufts who fought against the British and the enemies.
