To control the situation, the police used the lathi-charge at the public entrance gate
Two people have been injured after police lathi-charged to control the crowd for the swearing-in ceremony of the Karnataka chief minister. A large number of Congress workers and supporters of Karnataka Chief Minister designate Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister designate D K Shivakumar thronged the Kanteerava Stadium in the city to attend the swearing-in ceremony.
Additional police forces have been deputed at the spot to avoid any untoward incident.
Due to the massive crowd, there was chaos at the public entrance gate and the police had to resort to the mild lathi-charge to control the situation, sources said.
The two persons, including traffic inspector Ganesh Rao, who was seriously injured as a result have been hospitalized.
Joint Police Commissioner (Crime) Dr. S D Sharanappa rushed have taken stock of the situation at the venue.
About 1,500 policemen have been deployed at the Kanteerava Stadium, including include nine DCPs, 25 ACPs, 50 inspectors, 150 PSIs, 1,300 head constables, and 16 KSRP platoons.
