Water-sharing protests disrupt India's tech hub of Bengaluru
BENGALURU, India, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Police detained protesters on Tuesday in India's tech hub of Bengaluru after one tried to commit suicide and another was injured while demonstrating against the sharing of water from a river that flows through two states, media and officials said.

Farmers' groups called the protest, which forced employees of multinationals such as Walmart (WMT.N) and Alphabet's Google (GOOGL.O) to work from home.

At one protest site called Freedom Park, a demonstrator tried to commit suicide while another farmer was injured, a domestic news channel said, with police detaining others.
