Bengaluru: An FIR was filed against Magadi MLA H.C. Balakrishna on Thursday by the Kudur police for abusing and creating a ruckus in the police station.
The police allege that Balakrishnan not only threatened and abused Inspector Nandish, but also misbehaved with him. He vented his ire on the police for allegedly failing to take action against the people who he claimed had assaulted his party members on Sunday. An FIR was registered in the case, but no arrest has been made so far.
Mr. Balakrishna allegedly warned the police that he would return on Monday and beat them up if they did not arrest the people involved in the assault.
