A Holi celebration in Lalbagh Botanical gardens became chaos on Friday night when two Nepalese groups faced violently, sending visitors to panic.

The situation became a full -fledged gang fight, forcing the police and police personnel of the Karnataka State Reserve (KSRP) to intervene and restore the order, The Times of India reported.

According to eyewitnesses, the confrontation developed on Lalbagh Rock, a well -known geological monument, where the two groups had met for festivities.

What began as a friendly exchange of colors quickly became aggressive, with individuals wielding sticks and chasing. As the fight intensified, bottles and other objects were thrown, causing panic among other visitors, the report added.

The security staff of the Horticulture Department warned of the Siddapur Police, who, along with a parked KSRP unit nearby, ran to the place and arrested those involved.

The authorities confirmed that no important injuries were reported, but the incident has raised concerns about public spaces during festivals.

A video of the violent shock has gone viral on social networks, attracting strong reactions of the Bengalureos. Many users expressed angry at the incident, questioning the preparation of Lalbagh security personnel and criticizing the spectators who chose to register the fight instead of calling the police.

A user commented: “They came prepared with sticks. This was not an abrupt fight, it was planned. “

Another commented: “What were Lalbagh’s staff doing? People were busy taking videos instead of informing the police. “

Some questioned the greatest implications of such incidents in Bengaluru. “Who are these people and what is their agenda? All must be arrested, a FIR must be filed and must be sent back to their native places. ”

A long time resident lamented the changing character of the city, “only ten years ago, Bengaluru felt at home. Now, he feels like a stranger. “

Many were furious about the damage to public spaces, and a user declared: “Why destroy Lalbagh? If you want to celebrate Holi in this way, they should do it at home. The parks are not intended for hooliganism. “

A particularly strong reaction came from a user who wrote: “This is not bihar or up, this is Namma Bengaluru and we are convicted. Once a garden city, it now became a city of gangsters. Immigrants have disturbed their peace. The only solution? Internal line permit “.
