Contractor's death: Congress workers protest against Bommai in Mangaluru, clash with police

Mangaluru: Scores of Youth Congress workers on Tuesday clashed with police while staging a demonstration against Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai outside a private hotel in Mangaluru.

The protest was led by Congress leader Mithun Rai over contractor Santosh Patil’s suicide, who had accused a Karnataka minister of demanding 40 percent commission in public work.

Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai was in a meeting at a private hotel in the city. Protestors gathered at the spot and raised slogans against the BJP government.  They also tried to enter the premises but were arrested by cops .
