Court grants MLA Bharath Shetty anticipatory bail over his alleged denigrating remarks on Rahul
Bengaluru: A Special court of People’s representatives in Bengaluru has granted interim anticipatory bail to BJP MLA Bharat Shetty in connection with the case of his provocative statement against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during the protest.
The Special Court of People's Representatives of Bangalore heard Bharat Shetty's petition seeking anticipatory bail and subsequently issued an order in his favor.
A case was lodged against the Mangaluru North MLA at the Kavoor Police Station for his alleged provocative remarks denigrating Leader of Opposition of the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi. The police lodged the case acting on a complaint filed by Congress leader Anil Kumar.
During a protest organized by the BJP at Kavoor Junction on July 8, Bharat Shetty reportedly stated, "The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, should be thrown out of Parliament. Rahul Gandhi needs to be slapped twice on the face. Only then will Rahul Gandhi come to his senses."

Messi's Delhi arrival delayed as fog disrupts flight
New Delhi (PTI): Argentine football great Lionel Messi's arrival for the final leg of his G.O.A.T Tour here has been delayed after his flight was deferred due to inclement weather.
Messi, who was in Mumbai for the second day of his three-day whirlwind trip to India, was to land in the national capital earlier this morning but his charter flight was held up due to foggy conditions here.
Messi is currently at the Mumbai airport and is expected to leave shortly for the final set of engagements, which includes an appearance at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium for a ticketed event.
The World Cup winner regaled fans in Mumbai last evening, posing alongside cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and a bevy of Bollywood stars and politicians. Before Mumbai, he also made similar appearances in Hyderabad and Kolkata.
The Kolkata leg was marred by chaotic scenes at the stadium as frustrated fans ripped apart seats and stormed the Salt Lake Stadium pitch after failing to catch a glimpse of the superstar, who was surrounded by politicians and officials.
