August
12,
2020,
turned
out
to
be
the
worst
day
for
the
people
of
Bangalore.
The
communal
riots
which
took
place
yesterday
night
at
KG
Halli
and
DJ
Halli
police
station
division
created
a
massive
ruckus
in
the
city.
The
videos
of
the
riots
went
viral
on
the
internet.
Actor
Prakash
Raj
recently
reacted
to
Bangalore
riots
and
called
it
'barbaric'.
The
actor
strongly
condemned
the
incident
and
tweeted,
"#bangaloreriots
is
nothing
but
barbaric.
..I
strongly
condemn
this
Religious
fanaticism
..
the
instigator
and
the
goons
who
took
law
into
their
hands
should
be
punished.
We
as
a
society
can
not
accept
this
#JustAsking."

Prakash
Raj
has
always
been
expressing
his
thoughts
over
the
issues
that
happen
in
the
society
and
his
recent
tweet
proves
it.
As
per
a
report
published
in
a
leading
publication,
the
riots
allegedly
happened
due
to
MLA
Akhand
Srinivas'
relative
Naveen's
derogatory
post
against
Muslim
prophets.
Showing
anger
over
the
post,
the
followers
have
attacked
MLA's
house
and
civilians
in
the
KG
Halli
and
DJ
Halli
area.
The
angry
mob
has
reportedly
destroyed
public
properties
in
Bangalore.
Three
people
have
been
killed
and
more
than
60
cops
got
injured
in
the
violence.
Bangalore
police
have
also
arrested
around
110
people
in
connection
with
the
riots.
Karnataka
Chief
Minister
BS
Yediyurappa
has
also
condemned
the
attack
on
police
and
commoners.
He
has
promised
to
take
strict
action
against
the
perpetrators.
