11 injured in lathi-charge
Staff Correspondent
Bijapur: Eleven people were injured when police resorted to a lathi-charge here on Thursday to disperse an irate mob protesting against the reported move to drop Horticulture and Bijapur district in-charge Minister S.K. Bellubbi from the Cabinet to accommodate a person who joined the Bharatiya Janata Party recently.
As soon the rumour spread that Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa had decided to ask Mr. Bellubbi to step down, the Minister’s supporters gathered in front of the Siddeshwar temple and took out a procession raising slogans against the Chief Minister.
The police and the protesters got into a heated argument when some of the Minister’s supporters began pelting stones at the police and government buses. Three buses were damaged.
When the situation went out of control, the police resorted to a lathi-charge in which several senior citizens and women were injured. Traffic at several places came to a grinding halt.
