Noticing them, he stopped and entered into an argument with them. As the argument escalated, Yellappa allegedly attacked the BRS leaders with stones, resulting in head injuries, according to reports.
Local residents, along with BRS leaders, approached the police and lodged a complaint. A case has been registered.
