No, but Mumbai is having quite a bit of different problems...

Bangalore has become the poster child of those who believe Americans are stupid and lazy...while Indians are superior. When the “Jack Welch Technology Center” isnt built in America...there is a big problem...

NEW DELHI: Sri Ram Sene chief Pramod Muthalik has been taken into custody by the Gulbarga police. 140 of his supporters were also taken into Eunuchs protest against Sri Ram Sene chief Pramod Muthalik, who is opposing Valentine’s Day, in Mumbai.

Muthalik was arrested at Kamalapura when he was travelling from Bidar towards Gulbarga, while in Bangalore city around 140 Sene activists were rounded up and remanded to judicial custody till February 16, PTI reported.

According to Times Now, convenor of the outfit, Prasad Attwar and four others have also held in Mangalore.

Bangalore police commissioner Shankar Bidari said, “We have so far arrested about 140 suspects who can cause disturbances tomorrow and remanded to judicial custody till February 16. Arrests are continuing”,

The group has threatened to disrupt Valentine’s Day celebrations and marry off couples dating on the day in Karnataka.

In the backdrop of these threats, police have also beefed up security in Bangalore and kept other leaders of the outfit under the scanner.

In Bangalore, 18,000 police personnel had been deployed to provide security cover, Bidari said, adding all pubs, bars and restaurants, schools, colleges and even shops selling Valentine Day cards will be provided security, according to PTI.

“All precautionary measures have been taken and all station house officers have been asked to be alert so that there is no untoward incident tomorrow,” Karnataka home minister V S Acharya said, adding “It is our responsibility to see that no one takes law into their hand.”

Official sources said the government had issued instructions to police to deal sternly with trouble-makers.

The outfit was first involved in an attack on women at a pub in Mangalore last month.

Unfazed by the nationwide condemnation of the pub assault, Muthalik issued threats to disrupt Valentine’s Day celebrations and warned that couples dating would be married off by Sene activists on that day.
