Two held for defiling Ambedkar portrait
Mysuru: Two months after miscreants spoiled the photo of leader BR Ambedkar in a Mysuru village, Varuna police cracked the case by arresting two persons. The accused were remanded in judicial custody. Though the accused, Rangegowda and Vasanth Kumar, were questioned earlier by the police, they pleaded innocence. Initially, the police didn't have any evidence to prove their alleged role, but a deeper probe revealed their involvement in the wrongdoing, the cops said. At the Ambedkar Community Hall in Vajamangala village, miscreants allegedly disrespected a portrait of Ambedkar by smearing it with dirt and tearing the banner on the night of April 18. A case under provisions of BNS Section 298–injuring or defiling a place of worship with intent to insult the religion of any class–was registered at the Varuna police station regarding this incident. As the case was sensitive, a special team was formed under the supervision of superintendent of police Vishnuvardhana N. The team was headed by Mysuru Rural deputy superintendent of police Abdul Karim. The accused, Rangegowda from Kokkarehundi village and Vasanthkumar of Choranahalli village, were arrested on June 19 and produced before a court, which remanded them to judicial custody, police said. Sources claimed that the duo told police that they resorted to the act to take revenge against a village.
