Madhya Pradesh Inspector General Law and Order, Makrand Deuskar on Saturday said that the violence in Madhya Pradesh's Bhind and Morena district during the Bharat Bandh on April 2 was funded.

IG Deuskar said that several organisations were given money to incite violence and that the police was investigating this.

"Violence in Bhind and Morena were funded. Several organisations and people had been given money to incite violence. Police is investigating this," the Madhya Pradesh top cop said.

IG Deuskar also said that four people had been arrested from Gwalior on charges of inciting violence by posting offensive content on social media.

The cases have been registered against all the accused under Information Technology Act, the police official said.

On April 4, the Madhya Pradesh Police had arrested 226 people in connection with the Bharat Bandh violence.

On April 3, the police had also registered an FIR against 'Raja Chouhan', who was allegedly seen firing shots at a mob in Gwalior during Monday's bandh.

Seven people lost their lives in the violent protests in Madhya Pradesh during the nationwide bandh called by several Dalit organisations to protest the "dilution" of the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.

Protests across the country turned violent after protesters resorted to stone pelting, damaging public properties and rail and various other blockades. Violent protests were reported from various states, including Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Bihar, Gujarat, and Punjab.

The Centre on Monday filed a review petition in the top court, asking it to reconsider its order.&nbsp
