The stone pelting took place when the funeral procession of murdered RSS activist Sharath Madivala was nearing BC Road. Thousands of Sangh Parivar activists are taking part in the funeral procession.

Meanwhile, hundreds of saffron activists have gathered in B C Road in violation of the prohibitory orders for the second consecutive day.

Police resorted to baton charge to bring the situation under control when the mob began to pelt stones at shops, buses and other vehicles at Kaikamba in BC Road.

All shops and business establishments in BC Road, Melkar and Farangipete towns have been shut down as part of precautionary measures.

28-year-old Sharath breathed his last at a hospital in Mangaluru last evening three days after he was stabbed by unidentified miscreants in B C Road. More details are awaited.

"We are here to protest against the incident that took place at JNU with our brothers and sisters. What Delhi Police did was shameful and they should have taken charge of the situation long before and not waited for three hours. We stand with JNU," Nisha, a protestor told ANI.

Professors present at the protest expressed regret over the incident and said attacks on the universities is a sick situation in the country.

"This is sick, where have we come to -- violence in the universities? I was so safe when I was studying in college; what we are giving to our students is horrible," said Sangeeta, a professor present at the protest.
