Buses were torched and schools and colleges shut as a precautionary measure as the Karnataka Congress called for a state-wide bandh on Wednesday to protest against the arrest of its troubleshooter DK Shivakumar by the Enforcement Directorate under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) after a long session of interrogation.
Soon after the Kanakapura MLA’s arrest, protests erupted across Karnataka, which turned violent in Bengaluru Rural and Ramanagaram districts, which are Shivakumar’s strongholds.
Congress supporters blocked the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway and four KSRTC buses were stoned. The bandh is expected to hit Bengaluru and affect the Bengaluru-Mysore traffic. The districts’ schools and colleges are shut.
