Bengaluru: Can the seething anger seen during riots be bought and if it can be bought what is the cost? Well, the answer seems to be a yes and the cost is simply Rs 100 and a plate of biryani.
At least the story of C Bhagya, one of the 11 persons arrested for the September 12 attack pertaining to Cauvery water sharing reveals the same. It is said that 22-year-old Bhagya had instigated the arson attack on 42 buses of a Tamil Nadu-based operator in Bengaluru last week and she did all this for Rs 100 and a plate of biryani.
 
The suspects have been accused of dousing the crew of the KPN fleet with diesel and threatening to burn them. It was on account of CCTV footage from the yard where the buses were parked, as well as mobile phone videos filmed by the crew, that police suspected Bhagya to be the agent provocateur, reports Times of India.

Bhagya is a resident of Girinagar, close to KPN garage and is a daily wage worker. However, Bhagya’s reason to join the protest was shockingly simple and the same was revealed by her mother Yellamma. Bhagya is the only woman among the 400-odd people arrested in connection with the September 12 violence in Bengaluru. She is currently in police custody for further questioning.
