The Kalaburagi Police on Wednesday foiled a planned protest by Banjara community leaders to condemn the recent attack on BJP leader Manikanth Rathod and to demand the immediate arrest of the culprits.
Mr. Rathod and his close aide were attacked by a group of unknown men near the Kagina in the early hours of Saturday last. Mr. Rathod was seriously injured and admitted to a private hospital in Kalaburagi.
Condemning the brutal attack on their community leader [Mr. Rathod] and demanding that the District Police arrest the culprits immediately, a mega protest was planned by the Banjara community leaders and their religious heads in Kalaburagi on Wednesday. And, an appeal was also issued to the community people to participate in large numbers to register their solidarity with their leader.
