Bangalore: Karnataka police had resort to lathi-charge after the protesters turn violent on Monday while protesting outside Vibgyor High School in Bangalore. The protesters including parents of the six-year-old child, who was being raped in school & ABVP activists were protesting.
A scuffle broke out between the protesters and police after the former attempted to break barricades. The police then had to resort to lathi-charge to dispel the protesters.
