Three more&nbspwere arrested in connection with the violent agitation during the countrywide April 2 Bharat Bandh.

Overall 90 people have been arrested in the case. Also, more than 40 cases have been registered under various sections of Indian Penal Code.

Arrested persons have been identified as Dhiraj Kumar, Sumit and Arjun were arrested.

Last Friday, police has also arrested the BSP district president of Muzaffarnagar Kamal Gautam for allegedly inciting violence.

Violence erupted earlier this week during the protests organised&nbspby various Dalit communities across North India against the latest amendment of Scheduled Caster and Scheduled Tribe Act.

Protesters turned violent at several places which resulted in the death of at least 11 people and destruction of property.

The Supreme Court order bans the automatic arrest and filing of cases against people accused under the act. The court had wanted to put a stop to frivolous allegations, but the Dalits view the move as a watering down of the act. India's Dalit community still faces massive discrimination and violence at the hands of India's upper caste and OBC communities.
