In the clash between 'godman' Rampal's supporters and the police, police baton-charge media persons. A India News reporter has been injured (pictured) while the NDTV crew was beaten and a camera snatched away.

Clashes erupted at the ashram of controversial 'godman' in Haryana today with police lobbing teargas shells and lathi charging supporters who allegedly fired back.

A number of people were injured in the violence at the Satlok Ashram in Hisar district.

The stand-off of several days between the authorities and Rampals supporters took a violent turn as the Haryana government was racing against time to get hold of the godman to meet the deadline of Friday set by Punjab and Haryana high court for producing him in a contempt case.
