Traffic was affected for about twenty minutes and only after officials convinced the crowd that action would be taken, they dispersed.

Meanwhile, a few from the crowd pelted stones at a government bus, sources said. The crowd looked agitated as they were demanding stern action against the accused, who indulged in the murder of Mayandi (38) of Seevalaperi. Mayandi, a resident of Yadava street in Seevalaperi, the cattle farmer, was allegedly murdered by a gang on Thursday at Seevalaperi-Kaliyavoor road and fled the scene.
