Udupi : Tipu Jayanti celebration near DC’s office here on Friday November 10 was marred by protest by the district BJP.

As a preventive measure, the police arrested near 50 leaders and members of the BJP.

The police led by SP Sanjeev Patil deployed heavy security at the venue, with the SP himself inspecting and reviewing the security arrangements.

Despite the heavy deployment, scores of BJP workers and leaders arrived at the spot and protested, raising slogans against the government for celebrating Tipu Sultan’s birth anniversary.
