A man died in Karnataka on Tuesday amid clashes over the celebration of the birth anniversary of Tipu Sultan, an 18th century ruler who is a much-debated figure in history. The police say that the man died of a fall from a boundary wall during a stone-throwing protest in Kodagu, 250 km from Bengaluru. He was trying to run away from the police baton-charge on protesters, says senior officer Om Prakash.
