Protest over DK Shivakumar's arrest turns violent in Karnataka

The protest which broke out after Congress leader DK Shivakumar's arrest on Tuesday turned violent in his Kanakapura assembly constituency on Thursday.

Congress workers carried out massive torch rallies against the Centre. The workers also resorted to stone-pelting, tyre burning and sloganeering against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. They also allegedly shut down Mysuru-Bengaluru highway hampering traffic.

A Delhi court on Wednesday evening had remanded the former Minister, who was arrested by the ED in New Delhi on Tuesday, to the agency's custody till September 13.
