BAGALKOT: Police arrested 10 persons in connection with the removal of a student’s skullcap in the district’s Ilkal, a north Karnataka town some 415km from Bengaluru, on Wednesday.
Bagalkot superintendent of police Lokesh Jagalasara said that a tiff between two Class 9 boys led to the incident on Monday. The boy informed his family members about the incident, and some college students allegedly slapped the other boy for removing the skullcap.
Later, social organisations brokered peace between the two groups.
Following a complaint and counter-complaint, the district police chief said they arrested 10 persons from both sides. Among the arrested is a youth, who made a video against a particular community.
The police chief said the law-and-order situation in the town is under control.
