Condemning police action against its activists in Uppinangady on Tuesday, Popular Front of India (PFI), Karnataka, on Wednesday demanded action against police officials responsible for the lathicharge on its activists who, it said, were involved in a peaceful demonstration outside the police station.
PFI State secretary A.K. Ashraf told reporters here that the activists were demanding the release of innocent persons arrested by the police in connection with an assault case. Their arrest was illegal and when questioned, the police told the demonstrators that the arrested would soon be released.
When that did not happen even by late evening, activists continued the demonstration, he said.
