Mangalore, October 5: The inter-district anti corruption rally of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parisad on Tuesday culminated in the city with a considerable number of students holding a demonstration.

The campaigners began their march from Karnataka Polytechnic Circle and converged at Kadri Park.
Speaking on the occasion, Dharma Prasad, a Syndicate member from the Kuvempu University, said due to the corrupt policies of the Union government an amount of Rs 4 lakh crore from Indians was lying in foreign banks.
