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.
