People pelted
stones on an ambulance, a government bus, a police vehicle and some
private vehicles, damaging window panes. About ten passengers in the bus
received minor injuries.
Three Deputy
Superintendents of Police and a Tahsildar held talks with the agitators,
who demanded that a flyover be constructed in the area, which they
claimed was accident-prone. They lifted the blockade after an hour and a
half.
Police took the body of the deceased,
Govindaraj of Mallasandiram village, to the Government Taluk Hospital in
Hosur for post mortem examination. Shoolagiri police have arrested ten
persons in connection with the stone-pelting and road blockade.
