Bengaluru:

Three people were killed in police firing in Bengaluru and 60 police personnel injured, the city's police chief told NDTV, as violence broke out in the eastern part of the city on Tuesday night over a Facebook message posted allegedly by a relative of a Congress MLA. 110 people have been arrested for violence, stone-throwing and assault on police personnel.

Protesters set many vehicles on fire and surrounded MLA Srinivas Murthy's house in the city. Mr Murthy's nephew Naveen, who allegedly posted the message on Facebook, has been arrested.

The police used lathi-charge, tear gas and firing to disperse the violent crowd.




"DG Halli and KG Halli saw violent incidents. To bring this under control, police used lathi charge, tear gas and firing. Police Commissioner went to the spot. Police bandobast is in place. Strict action will be taken against those offenders," the Bengaluru police posted on Twitter.

24 four-wheelers were set on fire; 200 bikes kept at a police station were also set on fire. A police station was damaged in the violence.

Bengaluru police commissioner Kamal Pant said the situation has been brought under control. While a curfew has been imposed in the violence-hit areas of DG Halli and KG Halli till tomorrow morning, large gatherings have been banned in the rest of Bengaluru city.

At least one reporter was injured after being hit by the police while covering the situation.
In tweets this morning, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa condemned the attack and said strict action will be taken against the perpetrators of the violence.

The Congress MLA had released a video appealing to people to maintain peace. Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai also released a video message, saying people should not take law into their own hands.
Meanwhile, senior Congress leader Dinesh Gundu Rao also appealed people to not to take law into their hands.

"Horrible situation in Pulakeshinagar after the attack on our MLA @AkhandaSrinivas house and the Kaval Byrsandra Polcie satiation. Whatever the provocation nobody can take law into their own hands and destroy public property," he said on Twitter.

"I urge all the people to maintain calm and the govt to handle this delicate situation firmly but surely and not play politics. I also see a conspiracy in the way the Facebook post has been put out & looks to have been done to incite disturbance," he said further.

One particular community which is known for its violent disposition has executed the plan perfectly ...
Contrary to what many outsiders think this group still enjoys a considerable freedom in india...imagine the kind of freedom they enjoy where they can damage a sitting MLAs house and cars..Karnataka is a BJP ruled state ...can anyone now say this particular community is discriminated against?
Anyway glad police shot 3 fellows who indulged in violence (and have arrested 110 members)
Police should shoot every b@stard who takes law into their hands and indulges in arson and violence.
Yedyurappa should take yogi as an example..yogi has made sure that muslims pay for the damage they did in protests in UP in february...yedyu should confiscate the properties of these thugs.
Police should take this very seriously...the miscreants deliberately targeted police station.

Calm down. Should I take the below picture from Delhi and declare that all Hindus are inherently lynch mob participants ?

But yes, I agree with the Congress man Dinesh Gundu Rao that those rampaging Muslims in Bangalore should not have taken law in their hands.

Shocking incident of mob violence. Section 144 has been imposed in Bengaluru and curfew has been imposed in DJ Halli and KG Halli police station limits after violence broke out in the area over social media post on Prophet Muhammad. As many as 110 people have been arrested in connection with the violence in the city and over 60 cops have been injured in the deadly violence in which two people have died. Meanwhile, Bengaluru Police has arrested Congress MLA Srinivas Murthy’s nephew Naveen for sharing a ‘derogatory’ post on social media. Major violence broke out in DJ Halli area after the protesters alleged that Congress MLA R Akhanda Srinivas Murthy's kin had allegedly uploaded a derogatory post about Prophet Muhammad on his Facebook account. Murthy’s house was also vandalised by miscreants.

Hurting religious sentiments is never a smart thing to do, irrespective of which religion it is you're disrespecting.


This incident and the things that led to it are deplorable and the loss of lives is unfortunate.



What's even more unfortunate is that a lot of PDF users insult Hinduism day in and day out on here, I would implore to such users to think before they type.

If you wouldn't take criticism directed at your faith from others, then why wouldn't you extend others the same luxury and refrain from attacking their religion.


This is merely an online forum but If it is made into a habit; hurting religious sentiments, then the person gets emboldened into trying it in Public, such actions can have grave and far-reaching consequences.


Indeed, in Islam it is prohibited to insult the Gods and Scriptures of others, lest they insult our God back.


We must do away with religious insults on this Forum, it is the least we can do, to improve the quality of discourse on this platform.

I'm neither an Indian nor a Hindu. :disagree:

We don't cease to be Muslim, If we stop mudslinging on others.

LOL, sorry man you get this kind of racism from a few of the Pakistani posters. And Indian as well also.

I count you as a friend, so take a chill now. :cheers:
