Bijapur, January 4: Police have arrested six persons in connection with hoisting of Pakistani flag over the tahsildar's office at Sindagi town in the district.

The sudden appearance of Pakistani flag at tahsildar's office during New Year celebrations had spurred violence in Sindgi and surroundings. Miscreants had damaged vehicles and pelted stones at shops in the town.
A bundh call was also given by various organisations including Sri Rama Sene and Bajrang Dal to protest against hoisting of Pak flag.
It is alleged that the incident was a conspiracy of Sri Rama Sene, which wanted to create communal riot in the region.
