Saffron outfits have claimed that he was a Hindutva activist and that Muslim goons murdered him, a charge not confirmed by police.

During today’s protest, enraged crowds pelted stones at police jeeps and set IGP Hemanth Nimbalkar's car on fire. The car driver was injured in the violence along with PSI E C Sampath Kumar.

The police lathi charged and used tear gas to disperse the mob. All shops in Kumta town remained closed. Maximum police security has been provided at Gibb's circle.

The police have arrested 25 people and several bikes in connection with the violence so far.

sangh parivar is trying sabotage karnataka by voilence, loot, disturbance, distruction etc. They are agitating for no reason. Their leaders are desparate on the publicity of congress Govt and have hired unemployed goons to create trouble. Police should arrest bjp MLS from Sirsi for being responsible for the voilence which resulted in loss of property worth crores of rupees and Court should order bjp to pay for it. Leavy fine on this hate monger bjp mla who is useful for nothing.
