There was tension for a few hours at Kotnoor (D) village on the outskirts of Kalaburagi on Wednesday morning after a group of people barged on Tuesday night into the house of an accused in a statue desecration case and assaulted his family members.
Accused Sangamesh had been arrested on the charge of desecrating the Ambedkar statue in the village on January 23 and was released on bail on Tuesday.
On Tuesday night, as soon as it came to be known that Sangamesh was released on bail, the assailant group attacked his family members even before he reached his house.
