Udupi: A legal case has been filed against ABVP members for staging a protest without permission on April 23rd. The protest was organised to condemn the tragic murder of Neha Hiremath, a student from Hubbali.

Despite being denied permission due to the Election Code of Conduct being in effect, around 300 ABVP members gathered unlawfully at Jodukatte in the city. From there, they proceeded towards Udupi Service Bus Stand, causing a disruption to public traffic.

The ABVP members further aggravated the situation by blocking Clock Tower Road near the Udupi Service Bus Stand, which is a restricted area for protests. This resulted in inconvenience for the public and disrupted vehicular movement.

Following a complaint lodged by Flying Squad Officer Kumar Naik, a case has been formally registered at the Udupi Town Police Station.
