Nalapad, the Bangalore District Youth Congress General Secretary, is expelled from the party for six years soon after he and 10 of his associates assaulted a youth on Saturday night. This incident is a perfect example for misuse of power.
The victim in this incident is Vidwath, a eresident of Dollars colony in Bengaluru. Vidwath was having dinner at a posh restaurant in UB city on Saturday night when Nalapad and his companions also arrived at the restaurant. They allegedly asked Vidwath, who had a fracture plastered on his right leg to sit properly. This offended Vidwath and a heated arguement was exchanged between them. Raged by this, Nalapad and his friends started assaulting Vidwath and beat him up mercilessly.
Vidwath was immediately rushed to the hospital. He was under treatment at Mallya Hospital but the group followed him there and allegedly started beating him up at the hospital too. They also attacked Vidwath’s brother who came to stop them. Nalapad’s father reportedly paid visit to the hospital that night.
