DCP Belagavi, Rohan Jagadeesh said, “Praveen Shetty (Leader of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike) has been taken under preventive custody to maintain law and order and in the public interest. The protest was being held in the middle of a busy road.”

Earlier on Monday Karnataka Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy visited Belagavi BIMS Hospital and enquired about the health of Mahadevappa Hukkeri, the bus conductor who was assaulted following a dispute over language in Belagavi.

Mahadevappa Hukkeri has been receiving treatment at Belagavi BIMS Hospital for the past three days.

Minister Ramalinga Reddy said, “Not only the Karnataka Road Transport department, everyone is in support of the Bus Conductor. The police-registered POCSO case against the bus conductor is bogus.”

Till now, 5 accused have been arrested in connection with the assault.
