Six hurt in lathi-charge
Staff Correspondent
DAVANGERE: As many as six persons were injured when the police resorted to lathicharge against a group of people insisting that the Kanakadasa procession should be taken out on a particular road in Lokikere village on Wednesday.
Superintendent of Police H.S. Venkatesh told The Hindu that the group wanted to take out the procession on a road where there was a thick population of Scheduled Tribes people.
Permission refused
There was no unity among a few communities in the village and the police refused the organisers permission to take out the procession on the road.
The police asked them to take out the procession in a different route as sanctioned earlier.
When the organisers repeatedly insisted that they wanted to take out the procession on the same route, the police had no other option but to lathicharge and disperse the mob.
Set on fire
Meanwhile, it was alleged that a group set fire to a flex of Kanakadasa in the village following which there was tension in the village.
Heavy security arrangements were made and three District Reserve platoons were stationed in the village.
Mr. Venkatesh and Assistant Superintendent of Police Anupam Agarwal are camping in the village.
