notes: On June 6, six demonstrators were killed and over a dozen injured when shots were fired during a demonstration by farmers in Piplya Mandi (Mandsaur district, MP). The agitating mob turned violent, burning 27 vehicles and pelting stones at police, who fired tear gas. CRPF forces are believed to have opened fire at the demonstrators, although some sources say it came from the mob. The farmers were demonstrating as part of an ongoing strike that started on June 1 demanding better crop prices as well as loan waivers.
