    These metro boards were in Kannada, English and Hindi. There was also an attempt made to deface the Hindi fonts on signboard in MG Road metro station. However, the activists were immediately taken into custody.

    The protesters claim that the time they had allotted the Bangalore Metro Corporation Limited (BMRCL) to remove Hindi from the boards had expired and that they had now decided to act upon it.

    This isn't the first time, on July 6, the KRV defaced English and Hindi signage of a restaurant in a mall near Bengaluru's Eco tech park.
