Kundapur, June 24, 2014: The Kundapur police have arrested two persons on the charges of assaulting a lady ASI and a head constable on June 23, Monday. The arrested are Gururaj Chatra and Pratap Shetty alias Pakka.
According to reports, the two had approached the station on Monday evening and asked ASI Sudha Prabhu to lodge an FIR against a person in connection with a fight in a hotel. When the ASI asked them to file a written complaint, the two began to argue with the ASI.
The ASI who then decided to visit the spot, summoned the police jeep by telephoning the staff. At this juncture, the duo who reportedly misconstrued the ASI’s instructions assaulted her and even the head constable Jayakar who came to her help.
Both the injured cops were admitted to hospital
In another development, KG Nityananda, a hotelier, who is also a former councillor too lodged a complaint against the duo accusing them of assaulting him when he was sitting in his hotel. He also alleged that the duo had gone on rampage inside the hotel and even escaped with his vehicle.
Even the hotelier Nityanand who has suffered injuries on his face has been hospitalised. He has said that his opposition to the functioning of a club in the town had led to the assault.
Investigations are underway.
