Provocative speech: MLA Sunil Kumar gets conditional bail
Mangaluru: The sixth Additional District and Sessions Court has granted conditional anticipatory bail to Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar.
The court put the condition that the MLA should not make any provocative speech that hurts the religious sentiments of people.
It may be recalled that Sunil Kumar, while participating in a BJP Padayatra function at Kalladka in Bantwal on January 23, had said "The election in Bantwal is between Allah and Ram and not between Rajesh Naik and Ramanath Rai. People of Bantwal have to decide if they will make Allah win again or ensure the victory of a person who loves Ram."
A Congress worker Prashanth Kulal had filed a complaint with the Bantwal Police in this regard.
