However, when the activists approached Thokkottu Smart City commercial complex, the shop owners began shouting Go Back slogans and confronted the BJP activists at the complex entrance saying that they were opposed to the Act.

There was a heated exchange of words following which Ullal and KSRP police rushed to the spot and dispersed both the groups from the spot.
