Tension prevailed for some time near the Shivamogga Press Trust office, close to the Deputy Commissioner’s office, in the city on Thursday when a group of people tried to stop the vehicle of former MP and Congress leader V.S. Ugrappa and raised slogans against him.

Mr. Ugrappa was walking towards his vehicle after addressing a press conference at the trust when the group began the protest. They attempted to argue with him and block his vehicle, prompting police personnel present nearby to intervene.
