Even though the Sangh Parivar had said that the protest against Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s visit will be voluntary, instances of forcible closure of shops during the day has been reported. However, none of the affected persons have lodged any complaint with the jurisdictional police so far, police authorities said.

The issue was raised during yesterday’s monthly SC/ST meeting organised by city police where a Dalit community leader complained that notwithstanding strict police vigil, miscreants forcibly closed down shops.

K M Shantharaju, deputy commissioner of police (law and order) who chaired the meeting, said police would initiate action against anyone against whom they receive a complaint to this effect or are able to find direct evidence of people have being coerced to do so.

The leaders said people are wary of lodging a police complaint in such cases lest it antagonizes people and other influential people with whom they interact on a daily basis.

M Sanjeev Patil, deputy commissioner of police (crime and traffic), said as a matter of rule, people may always call the city police control room on 100 in such cases or other instances where local or other miscreants try to browbeat the locals and the personnel from jurisdictional police will initiate action.

Dear Sir, please dont waste time and arrest leaders of Chaddi terrorists who forced to closing of business during the unauthorised bandh called by them. Sangh goondas created mess and forced shop owners to close their businesses which caused loss of crores of rupees to public. These goondas even forced buses and autos from fetching passengers. Leaders of these goonda organisation should be penalised heavily and should be warned of more strict actin in future.

Bengaluru, Jul 19: Three legislators of the opposition Congress in Karnataka, including 2 MLAs and 1 MLC tested positive for coronavirus and are under treatment, a party official said on Saturday.

"Our Bailhongal MLA Mahantesh Koujalgi in Belagavi district and Humnabad MLA Rajashekhar Patil and his MLC brother Chandrashekhar Patil in Bidar district tested positive for the infection and are under treatment at designated hospitals," party spokesman Ravi Gowda told media persons in Bangaluru.

Koujalgi's swab sample was taken on Friday after he showed signs of illness and its result turned positive earlier in the day.

"As Koujalgi attended a review meeting at Bailhongal, about 20 officials who participated in the meeting have been home quarantined," said Gowda.

Koujalgi is the second lawmaker in the state's northwest region to test positive after BJP's Belagavi North assembly segment MLA Anik Benake tested positive for the virus on July 15.

"Patil brothers were in self quarantine after meeting BJP's Bidar Lok Sabha member Bhagwanth Khuba, who tested positive on Wednesday. Their tests also showed they were infected with the virus," Gowda said.

Congress MLC Sandesh Nagaraj, who tested positive on Friday, is under treatment at a private hospital in Mysuru.

Dakshina Kannada district Youth Congress president Mithun Rai is in institutional quarantine in Bengaluru after he tested positive for the infection.
