Yadgiri: Sangh Parivar activist Chaitra Kundapur was on Monday stopped by police and sent back while she was enroute to Kalaburagi district through Yadgiri.
She was on her way to Kalaburagi to participate in the Aland Chalo program organized by Sangh Parivar to go to Ladla Mashak Darga in Aland for the purification of Shivalinga at the Dargah site on the occasion of Shivratri.
She was stopped after the District Administration had barred her entry into the district from February 27 – March 3 in the wake of the event. The DC had issued the orders after the SP submitted a report in this regard seeking a ban on entry of Chaitra and Sri Ram Sene Chief Pramod Mutalik in the district as it could disturb peace and harmony.
She was stopped by a team of Dy.SP Umesh Chikkamath, PI Santosh Hallor, PSI Mahantesh Patil while she was trying to go to Aland through Yadgiri on Monday evening. She was later sent back by the police party.

Kolkata (PTI): Five BJP supporters have been injured allegedly in a bomb blast in Panihati in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district, police said on Thursday.
The incident occurred late on Wednesday night, hours after Chandranath Rath, a close aide of BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, was shot dead by motorcycle-borne assailants, which led to the saffron camp accusing the TMC of unleashing retaliatory violence.
The bomb blast occurred near St Xavier's Institution in Panihati. Unidentified assailants hurled crude bombs at a group of BJP workers, injuring at least five people, police said, adding the injured were admitted to the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.
According to local sources, BJP workers were interacting with residents on Dutta Road in Panihati's Ward number 2 when a group of motorcycle-borne persons allegedly targeted them with bombs before fleeing.
The BJP alleged that the attackers were backed by the ruling Trinamool Congress, an allegation denied by the Mamata Banerjee-led party.
A senior police official said, "We have started an investigation and are examining CCTV footage from the surrounding areas to identify those involved. Raids are being conducted to nab the accused."
A heavy police deployment has been made in the area.
"We are maintaining strict vigil and appealing to people not to spread rumours. Necessary steps are being taken to maintain peace," the officer added.
Incidentally, the area where the blast occurred is located near the residence of newly elected BJP MLA Ratna Debnath, the mother of the RG Kar Hospital rape victim.
