Bengaluru, Oct 20: Gangster-turned-social worker N Muthappa Rai, who sought to intimidate his rivals with a display of lethal weapons during recent Ayudha Puja is in the dock as the Organised Crime Wing of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) has issued a notice directing him to appear before officials.

Rai, who recently took over as president of the Karnataka Athletics Association had posted a video on social media performing a puja in front of a cache of arms and weapons. This was done on the occasion of Ayudha Puja on Thursday.

Mr. Rai, who also heads the non-profit organisation Jaya Karnataka, was seen in the video with long guns and machetes. The video went viral on social media.

The Assistant Commissioner of Police of the Organised Crime Wing issued the notice to Mr. Rai on Friday, seeking an explanation and the documents needed to own theweapons.

“We have issued a notice to the person concerned asking why action cannot be taken against him for the display of weapons,” said Alok Kumar, Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime).

Another senior police officer suggested that the motive behind the display of the weapons would be to induce fear in the general public and that such an act is punishable under the Arms Act.

Kalaburagi, Mar 5: Kalaburagi Police has issued a second notice to AIMIM leader Waris Pathan, for his controversial remark, directing him to appear before the Investigation Officer on March 8 and give his statement.

Earlier, Kalaburagi Police Commissioner MM Nagaraj said that the police had served notice to Pathan and asked him to appear on February 29 before Investigation Officer.

On February 20, while addressing an anti-CAA rally at Kalaburagi, Pathan had said, "time has now come for us to unite and achieve freedom. Remember we are 15 crore but can dominate over 100 crores."

However, Pathan later took back his words and had said he had not targeted any community but had spoken against members of some organisations.

"If any of my words have hurt someone, I take them back as I am a true Indian," he had said.
