Shivamogga district administration clamped prohibitory orders in Shivamogga city and Bhadravati city on February 21 and 22 in the wake of incidents of stone-pelting and burning of vehicles following the murder of a Hindutva activist in Shivamogga on Sunday (February 20) night.
The prohibitory orders have been issued as per Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973.
Harsha, 26, a resident of Seegehatti in Shivamogga, was attacked by a group of unknown persons at Bharati Colony around 10 p.m. He was taken to Mc Gann Hospital where he succumbed to injuries. He is said to be associated with Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), one of the organisations comprising the ‘Sangh parivar’ of which the ruling BJP is a part.
