DH News Service Bangalore:
The trouble erupted at about 3 pm, when news spread that an idol, at a place of worship on Seppings Road, had been defiled.
Around the same time, a few miscreants from Nehrupuram allegedly threw acid on some women, who were standing and talking near the Makkah Masjid junction on Thimmiah Road. Three KSRP policemen, who tried to intervene, suffered serious burns. Within minutes, people living in the Corporation Quarters came out and started throwing stones and petrol bombs on to the street.
In addition, Hindu Samavesha activists who were moving in procession towards their venue â Dr Ambedkar playground in Murphy Town â vented their ire by throwing stones on shops, business establishments and an educational institution along the route. The situation worsened when they passed through Tannery Road, Coles Park and Murphy Town areas. The narrow bylanes of the Thimmiaha Road, Seppings Road, Kamaraj Road bore the brunt, before the police finally managed to gather reinforcements.
police cameras missing
Police who usually capture processions and other major events on camera failed to record the riots on Sunday. The footage would have come in handy to identify the miscreants as proved in the violent incidents that followed the death of thespian Rajkumar in April last.
