Hundreds of PFI activists had gathered outside demanding the release of suspects in an assault case
As many as nine police personnel, including Puttur Deputy Superintendent of Police Gana P. Kumar, were injured on December 14 when hundreds of Popular Front of India (PFI) activists went on a rampage outside Uppinangady police station demanding the release of persons arrested in connection with an assault case in Dakshina Kannada district.
Superintendent of Police Rishikesh Sonawane said Uppinangady town had witnessed group clashes, which turned into communal clashes, last week. “PFI activists had no business to lay siege to the police station as there are courts to decide on the police action [of earlier arrests],” he told The Hindu.
