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.

Bengaluru Police Commissioner Kamal Pant said two people died in the police firing and an injured person has been taken to a hospital. Around 60 police personnel including an Additional Commissioner of Police have sustained injuries in the clashes, he said.
