Several people have been rounded up in connection with the clashes. In Suratkal, a group of people backed by the Hindu Jagaran Vdike and Vishwa Hindu Parishad had resorted to a dharna this morning, alleging that the police had not acted on a complaint of eve-teasing by members of another community.
