Mysuru: The dawn to dusk bandh called by the BJP and the RSS in Mysuru following killing of a right wing activist, on Monday March 14, has turned violent. Section 144 has been imposed here in wake of maintaining law and order from Monday 6 am.
Security has been beefed up in the city.

Though the organisations that had called for the bandh had initially said that the bandh would be peaceful, protesters pelted stones at buses and set vehicles on fire. The bandh has affected PU students attending final exams. The pro-Hindu activists also closed down Mysuru zoo and stopped bus service.
With bus service being affected, students were left stranded at the bus standa. However with the intervention of police they were sent to write exams.

Police have also beefed up security at KR Hospital mortuary where the body of BJP leader’s body has been kept. BJP leaders Prathap Simha and C T Ravi visited mortuary and lashed out at the police.

It may be recalled that on Sunday, March 13, BJP leader Kyathemaranahalli Raju was brutally hacked to death. It is said that Raju was the driving force behind building a Ganesh temple. He had even united and organised the Hindus of Udayagiri, NR Mohalla and Kytharamanahalli, which as per the BJP may have led to his murder.
