The Ballari Police arrested four members of Popular Front of India (PFI) for assaulting a youth when he reportedly tried to stop the agitators on Thursday evening. The youth has been identified as Arun Reddy.
The PFI members took to the streets and gathered near Gadagi Chennappa Circle seeking the release of their leaders detained by National Investigation Agency (NIA). A tussle erupted between the protestors and police personnel when the agitating mob tried to remove barricades.
When Arun Reddy raised objections as the protestors blocked vehicular movement, the agitators then cornered Arun Reddy and assaulted him in front of the police personnel, leaving him injured.
