Speaker gives green signal to arrest MLA JN Ganesh?
Bengaluru, Feb 6: Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar is reportedly given permission to the police to arrest Kampli MLA Ganesh who was absconding after assaulting MLA Anand Singh at Eagleton Resort, if he attended the Assembly Session.
After the FIR, Ganesh was absconding and he was not reachable. He has been changing his destinations to avoid police arrest. However, Ramanagar police formed three teams to arrest him, it is said.
The Congress has already issued Whip to all MLAs to attend the Assembly Session compulsorily and warned of taking legal action against them if they were absent from the Session. As a result, the chances of Ganesh attending the session were more.
During the session, Speaker's permission is mandatory to arrest an MLA. So, Ramanagar SP met the Speaker yesterday and got his permission to arrest him if he came to the session, sources said.
But Ganesh did not attend the session in the first day. But it is expected that he could attend the session during the budget presentation on Feb 8. Anand Singh who was released from the hospital after getting treatment, attended the session on Wednesday.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
