Reportedly, over half dozen people killed during Bharat Bandh on Monday as the protest spread across Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and some other states of the country.
One such ill fated person was a 68-year-old man from Bijnor.
The old man died after the ambulance carrying him couldn't reach hospital on time due to Bharat Bandh protest over SC/ST Protection Act in Bijnor.
His son lifted father on shoulders and ran towards hospital which was 1 km away, but the man was declared dead on arrival, reported news agency ANI.
Several Dalit organisations had called for a 'Bharat Bandh' on Monday expressing concerns over the alleged "dilution" of SCs/STs (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
