Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D Ok Shivakumar on Friday dominated out any interference within the police motion and arrest of BJP MLC C T Ravi, for allegedly utilizing a derogatory phrase in opposition to Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar.
Calling Ravi a “filthy mouth”, he accused the previous BJP nationwide common secretary of utilizing derogatory phrases in opposition to a number of individuals up to now.
“Will they go and do a BJP assembly at Khanapur police station? (referring to BJP leaders assembly Ravi at station) … police have proven an excessive amount of courtesy in the direction of him. Police conduct can be not right. How did the police enable it (assembly)? We aren’t interfering in something,” Shivakumar stated.
Chatting with reporters, he stated, “Members of the family or one or two individuals can go and meet, however they had been having a gathering inside (the police station)…then what is that this allegation of making an attempt to kill him (Ravi)?” Ravi has accused the police of “violating” human rights, as he alleged that they took him on rounds all the night time to varied locations within the district, following his arrest.
He has even claimed that police had been behaving on the instructions of somebody from the “high”, and hit out on the state authorities and the administration, calling it “dictatorial”.
Terming Hebbalkar’s supporters’ anger in opposition to Ravi as “pure”, the Deputy CM stated, “their chief, their daughter was insulted. Why are they – BJP protesting now? They’re doing it as a result of their chief is affected.” Calling Ravi a “filthy” mouth, he stated, “This isn’t new for him (Ravi). He had used phrases in opposition to a number of individuals up to now…he had even referred to as CM Siddaramaiah as Siddaramulla Khan….that is his tradition.” Primarily based on the grievance lodged by Minister Hebbalkar, a case was registered in opposition to the BJP chief underneath sections 75 (sexual harassment) and 79 (phrase, gesture or act supposed to insult the modesty of a lady) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, on Thursday.
Ravi allegedly used a derogatory phrase in opposition to Hebbalkar within the Legislative Council on Thursday, when the Home was adjourned for some time.
Responding to a query, Shivakumar stated he would launch the audio/video of the incident contained in the Council if the media don’t have them.
