Bengaluru, May 31 : Former Karnataka Minister and BJP MLA Renukacharya was on Friday remanded to Police custody by Special Court for Peoples Representatives in the City today.
The senior BJP leader was handed over to the Police custody as he had failed to appear before the Court despite being served with non bailable warrant against him in connection with violation of Model Code of Conduct case registered in Shivamogga Rural Police Station.
Renukacharya had come to the court to plea for recall of NBW against him.
However, the judge taking strong exception to his absence on the earlier occasions, asked Police to take him to custody.
