Karnataka BJP MLA B Suresh Gowda’s daughter has been booked for allegedly abusing and slapping a woman police sub-inspector at a temple in Mandya .
The daughter of Tumakuru Rural MLA KN Rajanna Gowda, who is married to an Assistant Commissioner of Police, has been booked following a complaint by a woman police sub-inspector over an alleged altercation at a temple. The argument then allegedly escalated, with Aishwarya abusing and hitting the woman police officer on the head. The complainant also alleged that the MLA’s daughter threatened her and prevented her from carrying out her official duties.
The incident took place on August 12 at the Maramma Temple in Ukkada during Bhima Amavasya celebrations, news agency PTI reported, according to police officials.
The woman police officer was deployed for security duty at the temple when Aishwarya allegedly sought permission to enter the sanctum directly without standing in the queue, according to the complaint. Gowda said his daughter had gone to the temple with two young children and had requested the police officer to allow her inside briefly as the children could create a disturbance while waiting in the queue. Gowda also called for a departmental inquiry into the incident and said action should be taken against anyone found at fault. He said his daughter’s counter-complaint had not initially been registered as an FIR and that he had brought the matter to the attention of the Director General of Police.
