Aides of a ruling JDS MLA heckled and abused a woman constable after she refused them entry into an high-security area around the KRS Dam in Karnataka with a video of the incident going viral.
The incident occurred yesterday when MLA Ravindra Srikantaiah came to the dam site to check the preparations ahead of Chief Minister H D Kumarswamy's visit tomorrow. While the MLA was let in, his supporters were stopped at another gate.
In the video, his aides were seen picking up a verbal fight with the constable after she refused them entry into thehigh-security area surrounding the dam even as a police officer looked on.
A supporter of the MLA was heard saying, "You do not have any right to stop us because it is our grandfathers who gave land to construct the dam."
