Addressing a gathering at a Puja Pandal on Kaprol Road, Kumar urged girls to be prepared to defend themselves. He stated, "If any evil forces dare to touch our sisters, they should have the courage to cut off their hands with this sword." He further added, "We must ensure our sisters are capable of defending themselves if needed. We all must work towards eliminating these wicked forces who have ill intentions against them."
He also called on the public, particularly women, to take action against wrongdoers and support this initiative. Various weapons, including swords, were displayed and worshipped during the event, with Kumar personally distributing them after visiting multiple pandals in the area.

Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday adjourned till December 10 the hearing on the plea seeking transfer of the investigation into the MUDA site allotment scam to the CBI. The plea was filed by activist Snehamayi Krishna doubting the credibility of Lokayukta investigation into the matter.
The petitioner told PTI that he approached the HC saying he has no faith in the Lokayukta police and hence the case should be handed over to the CBI.
In the MUDA case, it is alleged that compensatory sites were allotted to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's wife in an upmarket area in Mysuru, which had higher property value as compared to the location of her land which had been "acquired" by the MUDA.
The MUDA had allotted plots to Parvathi under a 50:50 ratio scheme in lieu of 3.16 acres of her land, where it developed a residential layout.
Under the controversial scheme, MUDA allotted 50 per cent of developed land to the land losers in lieu of undeveloped land acquired from them for forming residential layouts. It is alleged that Parvathi had no legal title over this 3.16 acres of land at survey number 464 of Kasare village, Kasaba hobli of Mysuru taluk.
The Karnataka Lokayukta police and the Enforcement Directorate have launched an investigation into the 'scam'.
The CM has denied any wrongdoing in the alleged scam.
