Earlier last month, Karnataka Police filed an FIR after workers of the Congress and the BJP clashed at a ground in Govindrajnagar constituency of Bengaluru.
The fight broke out after the BJP supporters opposed Congress workers putting up banners and posters of leaders for a women's convention, which is scheduled to be held on March 19.
An initial argument soon escalated into a fight, with supporters of both parties attacking each other with stones and sticks resulting in injuries to many.
The police, who arrived at the spot, soon resorted to a lathi-charge to bring the mob under control.
"Both groups pelted stones, and our police personnel also received injuries. Three FIRs were registered in connection with the incident," said Laxman B Nimbargi, DCP.
The Karnataka Assembly elections will be held in a single phase on May 10, with the counting of votes scheduled on May 13. (ANI)
