In this background, the accused was brought to Mahajar (Thursday) by the Udupi police to the place where the murder took place. These informed locals joined the group. Also, some were outraged and protested.
Realizing that the situation was getting out of hand, the police at the spot resorted to light baton charge and dispersed the angry crowd. The people who are enraged by this are again blocking the road and protesting that the accused should be hanged.
This development took place when the police team led by Udupi DySP Dinakar brought the accused to the place.
