Bengaluru/Kolar, Mar 17 (IBNS): Protests erupted in Karnataka Assembly on Tuesday over the death of IAS officer D.K. Ravi.

Earlier in the day, locals called for a shutdown in Karnataka's Kolar district.
Unruly scenes were also witnessed outside the Bengaluru hospital where Ravi's body has been kept.
D.K. Ravi was found dead in his residence in Bangalore city on Monday.
