Rebel MLA’s office ransacked

The office of a BJP dissident MLA from Kolar Gold Fields was allegedly ransacked today, police said.

“Some unidentified people barged into Y. Sampangi’s office, ransacked it and burnt some furniture,” they said.

However, no complaint has been registered so far, they said.

Y. Sampangi, first time MLA from KGF, is among the 11 BJP legislators served notices by Karnataka Assembly Speaker K. G. Bopaiah to explain why they cannot be disqualified under the anti-defection law.

Mr. Sampangi was allegedly caught by the Lokyukta last year taking a bribe from a businessman to get a property case closed.
