BENGALURU: A woman was seen throwing away the money given to her by former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress leader Siddaramiah at his vehicle convoy. The incident took place after Siddaramiah visited those who got injured in a communal clash in Kerur in Karnataka. The woman is a relative of one of the persons who got injured in the clash. The area had been witnessing huge protests as no political leaders had visited the injured people or the site of the incident even after so many days. Siddaramiah visited the injured persons at the hospital on Friday.

During his visit, Siddaramiah gave compensation of Rs 50,000 each to the family members of four injured men. Although the family members initially refused to accept the money, Siddaramaiah forced them to accept the money.

However, when Siddaramiah came out of the hospital and entered the vehicle, a relative of an injured person came out of the hospital and threw two lakh rupees at the convoy. "We don't want your money, just allow us to live peacefully," the woman said as she threw the money at Siddaramiah's convoy.
