He added that the situation is under control now and as of now, 110 people have been arrested in relation to the violence. Two people died in police firing after angry mobs attacked a Congress MLA's house in Bengaluru as a communal social media post shared allegedly by the leader's relative sparked outrage and clashes broke out in DJ Halli and KG Halli police station areas of the city. Earlier, taking to Twitter, the Chief Minister also appealed to the people to remain calm.

"The mischief in the DJ Halli police station has led to the assault and rioting of MLA Akhand Srinivasa's home and police station. The attack on journalists, the police and the public in the riot last night is unpredictable. The government will not tolerate such provocations and rumors. Strict action against perpetrators is certain. I appeal to people to act restraint without being charged," Yediyurappa said in a tweet. After night-long tension following the arson and vandalism in the DJ Halli area of Bengaluru, police said Naveen, whose social media post sparked the vandalism, has been arrested.
