Hundreds of people gather outside Sanjaynagar police station
Hundreds of people gathered outside the Sanjaynagar police station on Sunday night after news spread that a migrant labourer, who lived in the area, had sexually assaulted a minor girl.
Members of Kannada organisations joined the protesters and by night, the number had grown to over 500 people, leading to a tense situation, as the accused labourer was inside the station.
Senior police officials as well as Byrathi Suresh, MLA, arrived at the spot to quell the angry crowd.

Congress MLC Yathindra Siddaramaiah said the event was organised following requests from the cricket franchise, and even the BJP had tweeted in favour of it. The police was vested with the responsibility of assessing the situation. Initially, police did not give consent for the victory parade, but subsequently gave clearance for conducting it at Chinnaswamy stadium.
