Bangalore, Feb 26: Around ten people were injured and some vehicles damaged as mob violence erupted in a city locality triggered by a row over a religious procession last night, police said. The injured in stone-throwing included some policemen who rushed to Anepalya in Ashoknagar, where trouble broke out. Police said some people who were offering prayers at a place of worship took objection to the drum-beating which accompanied the procession, leading to altercation and tension in the area.
Police also resorted to bursting of teargas shells and lathi-charge to quell the mob. Additional forces have been deployed in the area. Prohibitory orders have been clamped for two days in Ashoknagar and Viveknagar localities, police said.
