Twelve vehicles and one private vehicle were damaged in the incident, out of which one Innova car, five two-wheelers, and the remaining six other vehicles were damaged.

Earlier, on August 11, 2020, at around 9 pm, 25-30 people gathered in front of the KG Halli police station, demanding that the then MLA Akhand Srinivas Murthy's relative, Naveen, post a derogatory post on social media against Prophet Mohammed and demand his immediate arrest.

The protest was led by Syed Ikramuddin. The complainant had informed the NCR. As the protesters insisted on registering a case and making immediate arrests, the police imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPC to control the situation. The angry mob attacked and started a riot. (ANI)
