Group clash in Kolar

A group clash broke at Kilaripet in Kolar, on Saturday, when a resident who submitted a appeal demanding basic amenities to the MLA Varthur Prakash was attacked by a CMC member’s husband and his supporters. In the clash, 2 two-wheelers and a car were damaged and  some people resorted to stone throwing.

MLA Varthur Prakash, as scheduled arrived at Kilaripet to inaugurate new anganwadi centre and was addressing the gathering when one Ramanjinappa, a resident of the Kilaripet rose to submit a appeal seeking basic amenities amidst the programme.

However Mestri Narayanaswamy, husband of the City Municipal Council’s member Radhamma objected to this and called it unnecessary as development works were being carried out.

Though MLA Varthuru Prakash pacified both of them, quarrel broke out between the two after Varthuru’s departure. The quarrel reached its peak when Narayanasway slapped Manjunath, a relative of Ramanjinappa.

Attack on houses

However Narayanaswamy, not content with this, along with  his men in the evening, attacked the houses of people who had submitted the appeal to MLA in morning.  The miscreants set fire to two-wheelers and damaged a car.
