At least six Haryana Police personnel were injured when an angry mob attacked a police post after a youth allegedly committed suicide inside a jail in Faridabad on Thursday.
Five to six of our police personnel were injured as stones were pelted, a police official told reporters outside the Chandpur police chowki, which was attacked.
