The women, Mamta Pandey and Asha Pandey, were buried up to their waist and neck in the pile of gravel. They were eventually rescued by locals. By then, one woman had lost consciousness and required medical attention.
The confrontation occurred in the Mangawa police station area, when a road construction project in the village sparked protests from the women.
They claimed that the land was leased and opposed the construction.
But their objections were ignored, and the situation escalated when the dumper driver, allegedly on orders from local strongmen, dumped gravel on them.
The video of the incident circulated widely shows the women at the back of the dumper just before being buried in gravel.
They were subsequently taken to the Community Health Center in Gangev.
Senior police officer Vivek Lal confirmed the ongoing investigation.
