The viral videos have given rise to suspicion that Saturday's stone pelting in BC Road was a pre-planned act by trouble mongers.

Thousands of Hindutva activists and over one hundred vehicles took part in the funeral procession of 28-year-old Sharath, who breathed his last at a hospital in Mangaluru last evening three days after he was stabbed by unidentified miscreants in B C Road.

The mortal remains were taken through procession to Sajipa Munnur village in Bantwal taluk, the home town of the victim. However, the Sangh Parivar had planned to keep the mortal remains in front of BJP office in BC Road for sometimes and stage a massive protest for second consecutive day in violation of prohibitory orders.

When the police denied the permission to keep the mortal remains in BC Road and resorted to mild baton charge to disperse the errant mob, the “unknown” miscreants began to pelt stones at shops and vehicles.

According to sources, stones were pelted by some of those who had participated in the procession. Police have taken around a dozen persons into custody following the stone pelting.
