BENGALURU: The tension between RR Nagar MLA Munirathna and the DK brothers became apparent once again when Munirathna visited RR Nagar on Friday, where some miscreants had damaged the windshields of parked cars. Munirathna was riled when he was greeted with slogans of “Jai DK Suresh MP!” by those gathered.The police are to be blamed for the deteriorating law and order situation in RR Nagar. He alleged that marijuana is sold here, and police personnel are not doing their job. Pointing out that when he went to check on the attack on vehicles, the media was there but no policeman was visible.
It may be recalled that defeated Congress candidate Kusuma Hanumantharaya, wife of former IAS officer DK Ravi, is close to the DK brothers, and Munirathna had complained during his last protest that her words were given more importance than his, in his constituency.
Asked about the allegations, Additional Commissioner, L&O, Suresh said, “There is an ongoing drive against peddling of marijuana and drugs, and on Thursday too, there was a large seizure. As far as damage to cars is concerned, we take these cases seriously and if there are repeat offenders, book them under stringent sections of the law.’’
