Bengaluru, Feb 18: Two persons were killed in a clash during a cricket match in a village near Doddaballapura in Bengaluru rural district, police said on Saturday.
According to police, the incident occurred in village Dodda Belamangala where a second pre-university college student Prateek (17) and BE graduate D S Bharat Kumar (23) were stabbed to death following a clash between two groups during a cricket match.
The tennis ball cricket tournament was organised by a BJP leader aspiring to contest the upcoming Karnataka Assembly elections, sources said.
Some Congress workers came in cars and parked the vehicles, causing a hindrance to the game, eye-witnesses said. The clash took place when people objected to it and those who arrived in the cars refused to leave the ground. Angered at their refusal to leave, those playing the match damaged the cars and broke the glasses.
It is said the two who were killed were wearing the T-shirt of their team and were standing at the bus stop when the members of the group whose cars were damaged took out sharp weapons and stabbed them to death. Later, they fled the spot.
