Bengaluru: Violent confrontation ensues in Cubbon Park as man claims skaters are prohibited

Skaters who had gathered in Cubbon Park as part of their weekly routine were confronted by an individual claiming to be the head of security of Cubbon Park stating that they were prohibited from skating as per an order from the Deputy Director of Horticulture. “This morning a few skaters went to skate in Cubbon Park. When they were wearing their skates some rowdy goon without any uniform or identification, claiming to be the head of security in CP stopped them from skating, stating that there was an order from the Deputy Director of the Horticulture Department. When asked for an official notice about the order he started attacking the skaters and physically attacked even minors. This all happened under the supervision of the Deputy Director of the horticulture department. This is beyond outrageous that this is happening to tax paying citizens in a public park. The goon had no right to attack anyone let alone minors,”  stated the Bengaluru Skaters in an Instagram post.
