Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada Congress Committee today filed a complaint with Mangaluru Police Commissioner seeking action against those who distorted the video in which Congress workers are celebrating; and projected it as they are provoking communal violence.

While celebrating the formation of Congress-JDS government on May 19 at 5:30 pm, Congress workers lead by former MLA JR Lobo had raised the slogans praising the party.
