Mysuru: Mysuru APMC president Prabhuswamy has filed a complaint with district election officer alleging that BJP candidate Pratap Simha for the Mysuru-Kodagu Lok Sabha constituency has given false information in the nomination papers.
In his nomination papers, Pratap Simha has mentioned that his wife Arpita owns a site, 12194/D, at Vijayanagara 4th phase. But it's not on her name; instead, it is on the name of B. Shivaramaiah. Therefore, appropriate action must be initiated against Pratap Simha for giving false information.
There is a suspicion that Pratap Simha might be possessing more properties on her wife' name. Therefore he has given false information. A case will be registered about this at the high court, Prabhuswamy said.

Panambur: A man who allegedly came armed to attack another person was caught by members of the public and later handed over to police in Jokatte late on Friday night.
The accused has been identified as Naveen Poojari, originally from Vamanjoor and presently residing in Jokatte.
According to police sources, Naveen was married and has an eight-year-old son. The couple are now divorced.
Police said Naveen suspected that his former wife, who is employed at a showroom in Padil, was moving closely with Devi Prasad Acharya, a mechanic working there.
Based on this suspicion, Naveen allegedly went to the house of Devi Prasad Acharya on Friday night carrying a deadly weapon, created a scene and issued threats.
During the incident, Devi Prasad Acharya reportedly contacted the 112 emergency helpline, following which Naveen fled from the spot.
While escaping, Naveen is said to have fallen from his two-wheeler near the Jokatte Panchayat area. Local residents who rushed to help noticed a deadly weapon on the vehicle and immediately alerted police.
Officials from Panambur Police Station rushed to the spot, took Naveen into custody and brought him to the station.
A case has been registered based on the complaint filed by Devi Prasad Acharya, and further action is under way.
