A clear case of high handedness came to light when Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ananth Kumar Hegde thrashed three doctors at Sirsi in Karnataka on Monday.
Dr Madhukeshwara Jeevi, Dr Balachandra and Dr Rahul Marshakar were attacked by Hegde for not taking proper care of his ailing mother. The incident was caught on camera.
However, no case has been registered as yet by the police.
CHEQUERED PAST
In March 2016, the police registered a criminal case against him suo motu for his remarks linking Islam to terrorism.
The five-time MP from Uttara Kannada had allegedly made the remarks at a press conference at Sirsi, drawing a link between Islam and terrorism, triggering protests from Muslim organisations.
Muslim organisations in the communally sensitive Bhatkal town in the district had held protests against Hegde.
