Bengaluru: Imran Pasha, member of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike from Padarayanapura, was arrested on Sunday, for participating in a procession by his fans.

The followers organised the procession when the corporator was discharged from hospital after treatment for Corona infection. The doctors had instructed Pasha to return home directly and stay in home quarantine, but the corporator has been accused of indulging in a road show with his followers.

Following the arrest of Pasha by JJ Nagar police, Padarayanapura was sealed down again. The police also went on a beat to find people who were roaming around the area. 

In addition, CrPC Section 144 was imposed in Padarayanapura. Two KSRP and Garuda squad police staff were put on duty in the area.

MLA demands action

Legislator Zameer Ahmed has condemned Pasha going out in procession after discharge.

“I was glad that Pasha has recovered from an attack of Corona, but it was not right of him to take out a rally like a candidate who has won an election. I request the authorities to take suitable legal action against him,” he urged.

“When the entire state is struggling against Corona, taking out a procession with hundreds of people was very irresponsible of Pasha. If the people who should instruct the citizens to maintain social distance are themselves so careless, how can it be acceptable?” Ahmed added.

According to airport officials, weather conditions in Patna deteriorated suddenly on Friday afternoon, affecting flight operations.
