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.

The BJP leader had organized a protest in the town, alleging that the police officials had shown negligence in the case of the death of Devananda Ramachandrappa Koraba from Kalagurthi village in the Chittapur constituency. In response, as a precautionary measure, the police took Manikant Rathod into custody in Kalaburagi and subsequently transferred him to the Gunagurthi police station.

It's worth noting that Manikant Rathod was previously arrested by Chittapur police for violating the code of conduct during elections.

Manikant Rathod is facing several cases across police stations in Yadgiri, Vijayapur, and Kalaburagi districts. He had also been issued an order of exile for one year by Kalaburagi City Police Commissioner Dr. Y. S. Ravikumar. However, Manikant Rathod managed to secure a restraining order against the deportation order from the High Court.
