BENGALURU: One person has died and another received injuries after police opened fire upon protesters in Bengaluru’s Rajgopalnagar area this evening. Arson and vandalism was seen on the streets of Bengaluru and on a highway to Mysuru today as anger boiled over on a Supreme Court order that meant that Karnataka would have to release more water from the river Cauvery to neighbor Tamil Nadu. Some 15,000 policemen have been posted across the IT city.
Curfew imposed in 7 police limits of Bengaluru, says Umesh Kumar, IGP. Karnataka Director General of Police Om Prakash said the situation was tense, but under control.
