Rohtak, Feb 19 (IBNS): Jat protesters, demanding reservation in jobs and education, on Friday set ablaze a minister's home, damaged property and burnt police vehicles, media reports said.
With the house of state Finance Minister Captain Abhimanyu being set on fire, the army was called in to tackle the situation.
 
The minister was in Chandigarh and his family had been moved to safety earlier.
 
The protesters even blocked highways and rail tracks. Three people were killed in police firing. 
 
Big traffic jams were reported in Gurgaon. 
 
The violence, which is continuing for nearly a week, led to the blocking of mobile internet services in Rohtak on Thursday.
