In pics: Haryana on the boil

Rohtak, February 20 

Arson, rioting and plundering continued across Haryana throughout Friday night and Saturday as state and central security forces struggled to rein in rampaging mobs.

Jat protesters ran riot across the state, torching buses, shops and buildings and destroying lakhs worth of public property as the state government watched helplessly.  

Reports of clash between Jats and non-Jat communities also trickled in, adding to the chaos.
