He alleged the police for rude their behaviour against the Kannada-speaking students and said, “When the students entered the police station to file a complaint, the police not only pushed them out but also warned not to tell anyone about it. The injured student has been taken to the district hospital.”
Reacting to the incident, DCP (Law and Order) Ravindra Gadadi said, “We have called the students of the college and made them understand on creating a ruckus based on linguistics within the school and college campus was not ethical.
