The Haveri region of Karnataka suffered extreme tension on Tuesday after Hindu groups and Kuruba community organisations attacked Muslim homes and a mosque while they were participating in a procession. Officers took 15 people into custody and stabilised the scene.
On Tuesday, members of the Hindu groups held a bike ride while carrying a monument of the rebel Sangolli Rayanna. A few miscreants threw rocks at homes and a mosque as the procession passed through a Muslim neighbourhood.
According to Haveri Superintendent of Police (SP) Shivakumar, the bike protest was calm, but a few miscreants threw stones at them as they approached a mosque. During the procession, police were deployed, and the situation was quickly brought under control. The SP also noted that a small number of Muslims interfered with a similar event on March 9. He suggested that might have set off the crowd.
As police were present during the parade, according to SP Shivakumar, it would be simple to catch the offenders.
