Chikkaballapur (Bangalore) : Bangalore police have arrested Mamatha Murthy, general secretary of Chikkaballapur women Congress unit for assaulting youths in Chikkaballapur under the influence of alcohol. The court has sent her to judicial remand till September 29.
It is learnt that Congress leader Murthy had sponsored the Ganeshotsava event in Chikkaballapur on the condition that she should be felicitated during the event. However, despite paying money, the organizers did not felicitate her, and instead honoured two police officials, DSP Lavanya and circle inspector Mahesh.
Angered by this, on Sunday night she allegedly abused the youths and assaulted a couple of them, and demanded to know why they honoured police officials who did not donate any money, and ignored her even though she had sponsored the event.
On Monday, local youths gathered in front of Mamatha's residence and protested against her atrocity and demanded her arrest.
As the protest continued until evening, Chikkaballapur city police arrived at Mamatha's residence and arrested her, and later produced her in the court.
