Bengaluru, Feb 20: With the issue of assault on youth by Congress MLA N A Haris’ son Mohammed Nalapad at Farzi Café in Bengaluru’s UB City taking a political turn, the names of several other VIPs who either involved in the brawl or became mute spectators have come to light.

According to reliable sources, the son of a former BJP Minister from north Karnataka, son of Bengaluru Central BJP MP P C Mohan, son of a State Cabinet Minister from Old Mysuru region; a city councillor, who is the son of another MLA from the city; children of two noted Kannada actors, of whom one even became a Minister were all present at the cafe when the incident happened on Saturday night.

Meanwhile, Mohammed Nalapad’s lawyer has alleged the complaint was “selectively registered” against a few people, including his client, while the sons of other bigwigs were let off. He claimed that P C Mohan also involved in the clash.

Mohan has admitted that his son was present in the café when the incident took place. However, he said that he wasn’t part of the assault.

“My son had no links to Nalapad or the boy who was attacked. Nalapad’s lawyer is trying to tarnish the reputation of many families by dragging the names of several people,” he said, while adding, there were several others at the cafe, but singling out his son was politically-motivated.

Chandragupta, DCP (Central), said they had seized the CCTV footage at Farzi Cafe that had showed the incident. “We are yet to go into the witnesses accounts to the incident. We will call them and record their statements in the case eventually,” he said.

New Delhi, Jun 9: Elections to seven seats of the Karnataka Legislative Council will be held on June 29, the poll panel announced on Tuesday.

The seven seats are falling vacant on June 30, according to an Election Commission statement.

Members of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly will vote on June 29 to elect the seven new MLCs.

The Commission has directed the Karnataka chief secretary to depute a senior officer to ensure that the  instructions regarding COVID-19 containment measures are complied with during the elections.

The counting of votes will be held on the evening of June 29 after completion of polls, as per practice.

The notification for the elections will be issued on June 11, the statement said.

MLCs are usually elected by four types of electors -- MLAs, Graduates, Teachers and members of local authorities.

On Monday, the Commission had deferred elections to four seats of the Karnataka Legislative Council -- two each from Teachers and Graduate constituencies -- falling vacant on June 30 due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.

"If MLAs are electors, the size of the electorate is small and the assembly building is the only polling station. When the electorate is teachers or graduates, the number of those who can vote is higher.

Due to the virus, Commission only allowed polls to seats where MLAs are the electors to prevent large gatherings," explained a senior EC functionary.
