Udupi: An incident of public unrest occurred when four members of the same family, accused of a heinous crime in Udupi, were taken to the scene of the crime for a visit.
Upon their arrival, hundreds of people gathered, expressing outrage and demanding that the accused be handed over to them for punishment. The crowd attempted to storm the police vehicle carrying the accused, prompting police intervention to disperse the agitated public. Some individuals sustained injuries during the scuffle.
