Kolhapur / Bengaluru / Pune / BelgiVI: Alleged Tempton of Maratha Warrior Shivaji Statue in Bengaraju triggered a counter-attack in Angol in the Biasaavi where the statue of Freedom Fighter Sangolli Rulanna was damaged and the carnataka government vehicle was thrown with stones on Friday night.
Immediately after criminals who were forced to throw stones, the police arrested 23 workers of Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) for inciting violence and trying to burn police vehicles.
Arrests including leading MES members Shubham Shelke.
Four separate cases have been registered in three police stations.
The police also imposed section 144 from 6am on Saturday to 6 in the morning on Monday in the city and Taluk.
Meanwhile, the shops and hotels owned by people who speak Kannada in Kolhapur Maharashtra are closed on Saturdays, while vehicles with carnataka registration plates face the anger of those who protest alleged dismacles.
According to the police, around 11:30 a.m.
on Friday, more than 100 MES members gathered in Sambhaji’s circle in Ramalingakinda Galli, demanding the arrest of criminals who allegedly smeared ink on the statue of Shivaji in Bengaluru.
MES activists, led by Shelke, began shouting anti-Kannada slogans, while initially targeting the lodges owned by Kannadiangas, even the police team landed in place.
DCP (law and command) Vikram Amte tried to mediate peace with the protesters, but the horde began to throw stones and tried to burn police vehicles.
The police must use Baton-Charge to disperse violent hordes.
The old border dispute over the decades of the dwarf between Maharashtra and Karnataka is seen as a downflow that connects unwanted incidents.
Condemning the incident as regulated, Head of Karnataka Minister Basavara Bommai directed the Interior Minister Araga Jnanendra to take strict action against those who tried to disrupt peace.
