10 injured in Dalit-Nayaka clash
Mysore, March 31, DHNS :

As many as 10 people including cops suffered injuries in a group clash
between two communities at Algud in T Narsipura taluk in the district
on Thursday.

A tractor was set on fire in a group clash between dalits and Nayakas
at Algud in T Narasipur taluk on Thursday. DH PhotoThe trouble began
around 5 pm, when a dalit youth allegedly in an inebriated condition
came near Maramma Temple in the village. The village was in a festive
mood with Deviyamma Jathre and bullock cart race was on.

The youth was reportedly wearing footwear and abused people belonging
to Nayaka community. This triggered the clash, with the Nayaka people
chasing the youth to his house. The mob barged into the youth's house,
ransacked the property and assaulted him. They also set the house on
afire, besides a tractor and an autorickshaw parked outside.

The T Narsipur Police who had by then arrived at the village lathi
charged the mob. But the mob didn't relent, instead started pelting
stones at the cops injuring In-charge Inspector Ashok Kumar, a few
constables and also three citizens. The injured have been rushed to K
R Hospital in Mysore for treatment. The situation came under control
when the prominent leaders of both the communities called for peace.

However, as a precautionary measure extra forces have been summoned
with District Armed Reserve (DAR) and Karnataka State Reserve Police
(KSRP) personnel deputed at the
village.

The village has a large population of Nayaka community with about
2,500 members, with SC totalling about 100. However, no arrests have
been made so far and the youth, the cause behind the whole incident is
yet to be identified, said a police.
