Bangalore: One person was killed and over 15 injured when Police opened fire in the Shivaji Nagar area of Bangalore where an angry mob went on a rampage burning several vehicles, pelting stone and closing shops on Sunday.
Violence broke out in many parts of east and north-east Bangalore with Shivaji Nagar being the worst-hit area in the city. Curfew has been imposed in Bharti Nagar area of Bangalore from 2200 hrs (IST) on Sunday to 0700 hrs (IST) on Monday.
While a 12-year-old boy was killed when police opened fire, 15 people were injured including eight police constables. A constable Thimmaiah was stabbed by a mob in Shivaji Nagar. The injured have been admitted to Bowring Hospital.
Trouble began on Sunday afternoon right next to a convention of Virat Hindu Samaj Utsav. While three buses were burnt in the Bamboo Bazaar area, three autos were damaged near Ulsoor lake. Stray incidents of violence have also been reported from other areas in Bangalore Contonement, Shivajinagar and Old Madras Road.
The other troubled areas in the city are Kamaraj Road, Armstrong road, Sappers road, Commercial street, Shivchetty garden, Bamboo Bazar, Coles park, Cock Burn street, Ulsoor lake, Assay Road, Gangadhara Chetty road, Old Madras Road, and Indira Nagar.
Mob violence had rocked the Shivaji Nagar and Bharati Nagar areas of the city on Friday after clashes during a demonstration against Iraqi leader Saddam Husseinâs execution.
The violence left at least 20 persons injured. Police had to fire in the air to disperse a violent crowd prior to a massive rally by the Muslim community.
There were stone-throwing and group violence between the two groups in Bharti Nagar police limits. Trouble broke out when a banner relating to 'Virat Hindu Samajotsav' was removed by a group of people on their way to attend the rally, which led to tension and stone-pelting, police said. An unspecified number of police personnel and civilians were injured in the incidents.
Around 400 police personnel had been deployed in the two places, which officials said are tense but under control. A police two-wheeler and two shops were set on fire. Several private vehicles were also damaged in the incidents.
The Bangalore Police chief said more than 300 people were arrested or detained on charges of riots and prohibitory orders were clamped on all trouble-torn areas.
At a rally held at Shivajinagar stadium, leaders of political parties from the state, including Congress leaders CK Jaffar Sharief and former Chief Minister N Dharam Singh and SP leader S Bangarappa, attacked the US' Iraq policy. The protesters, who had gathered at the rally, burnt the portraits of US President George Bush and shouted slogans against him and the US.
The rally was held under the banner of 'People's Front'. Though the situation is under control in Bamboo Bazaar and the Contonement areas, Ulsoor remains tense.
"It is now under control as the we lathicharged. We have clamped section 144 and arrested many in connection with the clash," Commissioner of Police told CNN-IBN.
