Kalburgi: Tense situation prevailed in Afjalpur town of Kalburgi district after miscreants pelted stones at Mashala Siddalingeshwara Samsthan mutt’s building on Thursday night.

The incident comes in the backdrop of Kedar Sree Swamiji’s participation in a programme, organised by Hindu Jagruthi Sene in Kalburgi, where he publicly spoke against love jihad and cow slaughtering.

Police said that the seer was sleeping inside the mutt when the stone-pelting incident took place.

It is suspected that the miscreants who were angered by his comments resorted to stone-pelting.

The police have deployed security in the area to prevent any untoward incident.

Meanwhile Hindu Jagruthi Sene leaders plan to submit a memorandum to the Superintendent of Police of Kalburgi to initiate action against the culprits for trying to attack the Hindu religious seer.
