Chamarajanagar: The Chamarajanagar town police arrested
Chamarajanagar Town Municipal Council (TMC) member R.P. Nanjundaswamy of
the BSP here on Thursday on the charge of assaulting municipal
commissioner Prakash and preventing him from discharging his duties.
There was a heated argument between Mr. Prakash and Nanjundaswamy,
during which they almost came to blows, regarding alleged large-scale
misappropriation of funds while constructing a solid waste collection
unit.
The public and office staff had to prevent them from getting into a fight.
Later, Nanjundaswamy, along with his supporters, staged a dharna and alleged that Mr. Prakash had abused him.
However, the town police took Nanjundaswamy into custody after Mr.
Prasad filed a complaint accusing him of assault. Nanjundaswamy also
filed a complaint against Mr. Prakash.
