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.

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday demanded that the state government drop its plan to provide doorstep delivery of liquor.

"After faltering in mopping up revenue, the state government is mulling over allowing doorstep delivery of liquor by enabling online sales and starting new MSIL liquor shops in rural areas. I demand that the state government drop its plans," he tweeted.

"I came to know that the excise commissioner is keen to hold talks with a private firm to enable online sale of liquor. The government should back out from such a foolish decision. Otherwise, agitation is inevitable," Kumaraswamy said.

He said opening new liquor shops or online delivery will ruin the health of society.

"Post-COVID outbreak and subsequent lockdown, people are facing financial distress, struggling to lead day-to-day life. 

The government must withdraw such an imprudent decision to deliver liquor at doorsteps. Opening new liquor shops or the decision of online delivery in times of distress like this will spoil society's health. 

It is not fair for the government to fill its coffers by robbing people's money," he said in a series of tweets.
