Senior officers from the police and army visited the spot and hospital and discussed the incident in detail. The police have decided to furnish a copy of the investigation report to the army higher-ups for action from their end.

The incident took place when Krishnamurthy and Sudheendra were on duty at BRV junction around 5.30 pm. Krishnamurthy noticed two men riding a bike on the one-way road. He stopped them and asked them to pay fine of Rs 100. K P Singh, the pillion rider, who was drunk, paid the fine and went away along with the rider, said the police.

Within minutes, Singh and a group of around 25 armymen returned and began an argument with Krishnamurthy for peanalising an armyman. In the melee, Singh slapped Krishnamurthy who sent a wireless message seeking assistance. Cops rushed to the spot, bundled up Singh in Hoysala vehicle and took him to the Commercial Street police station, said the police. Other armymen went back only to return with more men and assault Sudheendra. Upon receiving the information, senior police officers rushed to the spot and dispersed the armymen. They also informed the army higher-ups who rushed to the spot.

One of the armymen was a commissioned officer, but he did not stop others from assaulting a cop on duty. The army higher-ups have assured action from their end for attacking a public servant on duty. A case has been registered with Commercial Street police.

Shivamogga, Jun 16: The Deputy Commissioner on Tuesday announced a ban on movement of heavy goods vehicles in the Agumbe ghat section between June 15 and October 15 as a precautionary measure, as there was possibility of landslides due to heavy rain during the monsoon season.

Bengaluru, May 28: A complaint has been filed against BJP Karnataka state president and Lok Sabha member Nalin Kumar Kateel by the Congress Legislators charging him with issuing false information on Coronavirus to mislead the people.

The complaint was filed by MLCs Ivan D’Souza and Prakash Rathod at Vidhana Soudha police station on Thursday.

In the complaint they had alleged that “Kateel has been spreading false information that the position of World Health Organization’s (WHO) Chairman was given to India in appreciation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s achievement in Coronavirus management. 

In reality, the position was given to India on the basis of rotation. India’s stature gets affected because of such childish statements at the international level.”
