Kalaburagi: Manikant Rathod, a BJP leader with a history of involvement in various criminal cases, was apprehended by the police on Wednesday here in Kalaburagi.

In response, as a precautionary measure, the police took Manikant Rathod into custody in Kalaburagi and subsequently transferred him to the Gunagurthi police station.
