Summary:
When they tried to disperse the crowd, one of the gamblers, who was reportedly under the influence of alcohol, manhandled one of the policemen. The probe so far has revealed that the constables, on reaching the spot, found the crowd gambling as part of the Ugadi festival celebrations in the government school premises. They managed to arrest four persons, who led the attack, based on video footage sent by onlookers to the police. The duo reached the spot and tried to disperse the crowd, but the group attacked, abused and chased them away while passers-by remained mute spectators, the police said. The Varthur police later arrested four persons on the charge of assaulting the policemen..
