The Karnataka Cabinet on Thursday is learnt to have accepted the magisterial probe repo🐼rt into riots at D J🌺 Halli and K G Halli, in Bengaluru, in August 2020.

The report is said to have confirmed the role of the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) in🉐 the violence. 

Tꦿhe SDPI is the political arm of the banned Popular Front of India (PFI). 

The riots were orchestrated and not spontaneous, and it has also justified police action of op🎐ening fire, bursting of tear gas shells and caning of rioter✱s, the official sources said citing the report.

ಌThree people were killed and over 50 injured in the riots that erupted in D J Halli and K G Halli, allegedly due to a derogatory social media post on Prophet Mohammed by a relative of Pulakeshinagar Congress MLA Akhanda Srinivas Murthy. 

The MLA’s house and the KG Halli poli🥀ce station were torched in the riots.
