Members of BJP city unit, led by MLA Suresh Kumar, urged Bengaluru City Police Commissioner to rein in rowdy elements, whose menace is on the rise in Rajajinagar Assembly constituency.

A memorandum submitted to Police Commissioner Praveen Sood here on Friday stated that if the anti-social elements are not reined in immediately then things will spiral out of control.

They pointed out two recent instances of mindless violence in the constituency. On March 1, three men who came in an autorickshaw, randomly assaulted six persons in Rajajinagar and Subramanyanagar. One of the victims, Sarvesh, succumbed to injuries on Thursday.

In another incident, on Wednesday, Sunil, a history- sheeter, was pulled out of his house in Kamalanagar by a gang and was hacked to death in front of his parents, they stated.
Earlier in the day, a protest was organised at Navarang Circle against the increasing rowdy menace.
