Jaipur: The clash between police and the residents of Ramganj, Jaipur which caused death of a civilian also paralysed the public life. The fiasco between police and common man occurred, on Friday night, when an injured woman, during police lathi charge, approached officers to register a complain, the police refused. It aggravated the matter and soon one of the most famous centers of Jaipur turned into a battle ground between police and locals. The incident caused severe injuries to several including police, and death of a civilian. Later,  at four police station areas in and around Ramganj, curfew has been imposed. The old city market area was almost shut, the jam-packed roads were mostly deserted.

Our photojournalist Chandra Mohan Aloria visited the affected area and captured some intriguing pictures, depicting how life has been affected in Ramganj. Have a look.
