Hyderabad: All the business establishments of majority community in Bhainsa remained closed yesterday at the behest of the call given by Hindu Vahini.

The police had registered cases against the activists of Hindu Vahini.

Due to spreading of rumours, youths belonging to minority community had also started gathering. Police persuaded the rally to move fast. The protestors raised slogans against Mr. A. Ramulu, DSP of Bhiansa. The protestors reached IB guest house where a public meeting was held.

Ramulu, DSP of Bhainsa registered cases against the activists of Hindu Vahini under section 30 of police act for taking out a protest rally. This amounts to supporting the militants.
