Late on October 17 night, the police intercepted Pramod Muthalik near Mastikatte in Hosanagar taluk as he was traveling to Shivamogga and handed a notice prohibiting him from entering Shimoga .
This preventive action was reportedly taken due to concerns about Muthalik’s visit to the riot-stricken area and his potentially provocative remarks. Furthermore, a Section 144 Prohibitory Order is already in effect in the Ragigudda area, which prompted the issuance of the 30-day restriction on entering Shimoga.
