The police caned arsonists near the KSRTCsatellite bus stand on Mysuru Road around 11 am after they set two trucks on fire. The mob barged inside the Adyar Anand Bhavan restaurant and ransacked the premises.

The situation was near normal by 1 pm, said the police.
Around the same time, situation turned violent in Rajagopalnagar, Nayandahalli, Byatarayanapura, Srirampuram, BTMLayout, Kamakshipalya, Vijayanagar, Ring roads, Sunkadakatte, KSLayout, Hosakerehalli, Peenya, Yelahanka, Girinagar, Yeshwantpur, Kengeri, Madiwala and Electronics City.

Situation turned tense around noon as miscreants blocked entry to Srirampuram from Mantri Square at the railway under bridge to protest the attack on Kannadigas in Tamil Nadu. They burnt tyres in five areas of Srirampuram. As the situation was alarming, the police deployed Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force at Srirampuram, which has a huge Tamil population. Normal life in Srirampuram was completely paralysed. Residents stayed indoors, while shops and manufacturing units remained closed.
Members of Kannada organisations staged flash protests in front of the Mahatma Gandhi statue at Anand Rao Circle.They took out processions in Rajajinagar, Mahalakshmi Layout, Indiranagar, Jayanagar, JPNagar, Madiwala and KRPuram raising slogans against the Tamil Nadu government.

Petrol bunks in Gandhinagar, Malleswaram, Sheshadripuram, Magadi Road, City Market, Vijayanagar, Sunkadakatte and Basaveshwaranagar were over crowded. Following violence, a large number of bikers rushed to the fuel stations to fill the tanks.
