Hubballi-Dharwad Mahanagar District Congress Committee President Altaf Hallur has suspended four youth Congress leaders and recommended the KPCC to suspend another youth congress leader for their role in forceful closer of hotels near old Bus stand in Hubballi during the Barath Bandh on Monday.

The Youth Congress leaders have been identified as State Youth Congress Secretary Imran Yaligar, Hubballi-Dharwad Yuva Congress former secretary Prakash Burburi, Hubballi Dharwad Youth Congress General Secretary Praveen Shelwadi, Hubballi-Dharwad East Assembly Constituency Youth Congress President Imran Kadur, and Nagarjun Katrimal.

They were seen throwing plates, jugs, and glasses in Ayodhya and Santosh Hotels near old bus stand, while demanding the hotel managements to close the hotels during the Barath Bandh.
