Tension broke out at Pochamma Maidan in Warangal on June 18 morning during the funeral procession of Damera Rakesh, who was killed in alleged police firing during the violent protests by scores of army job aspirants against the Centre’s Agnipath scheme at Secunderabad railway station on June 17, with some protesters setting ablaze flexi board of the BSNL office at the busy junction in the city.
The incident occurred soon after the funeral procession passed through Pochamma Maidan en route to Dabeerpet, the native village of the deceased, in Khanapur mandal at around 11 am, sources said.
Some of the irate protesters pelted stones at the building damaging the window panes.
