Six people were killed in the February 8 violence that erupted in Uttarakhand's Haldwani during the demolition of an illegal madrassa.
A violence broke out after the illegally-built madrassa was razed by the authorities in an anti-enchroachment drive in Haldwani. The Uttarakhand DGP said that stringent National Security Act will be invoked against those who rioted and attacked the police personnel.
Four people have been arrested for allegedly being involved in the attack on the police station and police personnel and three FIRs registered, the SSP said.
Most of the people hospitalised after the violence at Malik ka Bagicha in the city's Banbhoolpura area were police personnel. The remaining were municipal workers involved in the demolition of the local madrasa and a mosque in its complex, they said.

UCC Bill: Coming just ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the 192-page Uniform Civil Code, Uttarakhand, 2024 bill ticks off an important item on the BJP’s ideological agenda -- a common law on marriage, divorce, land, property and inheritance for all citizens, irrespective of their religion.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami presented the bill in the House. In a symbolic gesture, he entered the Assembly with an original copy of the Constitution.

If UCC is implemented, BJP-ruled Uttarakhand will become the first state in the country after Independence to adopt it. A UCC has been operational in Goa since the days of the Portuguese rule.
