Bengaluru, Feb 19: Mohammed Nalapad, son of Shanthi Nagar MLA NA Haris, surrendered to Cubbon Park police on Monday morning.

The police had registered an FIR against Nalapad for allegedly attacking a Vidvat, a local youth along with his friends after an argument at a pub in UB City Mall on Saturday.

BJP, JDS stage protest

Meanwhile the case took a political turn.  Following Nalapad’s surrender, many from the opposition BJP and JD(S) began protesting outside Cubbon Park police station. The protesters are calling for the police to take serious action against Nalapad.

On Sunday, BJP workers, who staged protests in front of Haris’ house demanded that the police book Mohammed Nalapad under non-bailable sections.

Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy, who visited the hospital, condemned the attack. “The attack on Vidvat is condemnable. I spoke to Mr. Haris to ask his son to surrender and ensure such incident should not be repeated,” he said.

The Congress party on Sunday suspended Nalapad from the party for 6 years. He was the general secretary of the Bengaluru District Youth Congress.

‘Smashed a liquor bottle on his head’

In his statement, Praveen, who was with Vidvat during the brawl, placed the number of assailants at 15, said the Cubbon Park police.

“The friend told us that they pounced on Vidvat and started kicking and punching him, ignoring his cries for help. They first punched his face and smashed a liquor bottle on his head, following which Vidvat fell down and began to apologise,” said a police officer.

Mr. Praveen alleged that the restaurant staff were mute spectators and did not help despite his requests.

It was only when the attackers stopped that Mr. Praveen managed to get Vidvat out of the restaurant to the nearby Mallya Hospital. He was admitted to the ICU.

Mohammed Nalapad and his friends allegedly barged into the hospital ward, threatening and abusing the victim, who by then was unconsciousness, said Mr. Praveen. Vidvat, who finished his MBA from a college in Singapore and had returned to Bengaluru a few weeks ago, is the son of a city businessman, Loknath.

Hubballi, Jan 15: Leaders of the Muslim community, Dalit organisations, Congress Party, and others are staging a hunger strike at Dr B R Ambedkar Circle in Hubballi, opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Raising slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, they demanded the withdrawal of the CAA and not to implement NRC.

"India is witnessing such a dictatorship for the first time. The BJP government is trying to divide people into the lines of religion, through CAA and NRC. This move is a threat for peace and harmony in the country," said AICC member Shakir Sanadi, who led the protest.
