Superintendent of Police promises to conduct an inquiry
Activists of the Popular Front of India (PFI) staged a protest here on Friday condemning what they called “police atrocity” against them outside the Uppinangady police station on December 14.
After Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police Rishikesh Sonawane assured them of conducting an inquiry into the alleged high-handedness of the police, the activists withdrew their protest.
As part of the ‘SP office chalo’ call, the activists assembled near the Hampankatta Circle. Later they marched till the Clock Tower where the police had placed barricades to prevent them from going ahead.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
