A relative of Pulikeshinagar Congress MLA Akhand Srinivas Murthy had allegedly posted an objectionable post on social media against which a large number of people reached the police station on Tuesday evening and demanded action against the poster.
Another mob reached the house of Congress MLA.
According to the police, there was a demand for a fierce mob to register an FIR and immediately arrest the relative of the MLA as it has hurt their religious sentiments.
On seeing the crowd, the crowd vanished and some of the vehicles parked outside the police station were set on fire, while the crowd that went to the MLA's house also set fire to some of the vehicles standing there.
According to the police commissioner, the person posting on social media has been taken into custody.
The name of the accused is Naveen who is said to be the nephew of the MLA.

MLA Murthy says in the video, "Whatever the case, we are all brothers. We will ensure that they get the right punishment. I am with you. I am with you. I request that you keep the peace. "
The Karnataka Home Minister also issued a video message saying, "Arson and violence are against the law. Whatever the case is, it has to be resolved within the purview of the law. I have ordered the police to restore peace. No matter how big a person, we will ensure that strict action is taken. Whoever is responsible for this will be punished severely. I assure you that no one will be spared. "
