Some women who too were under the influence of alcohol were dropped home, he added.

The Minister said a case has already been filed  against BJP workers on charges of attempting assault on Mahadayi activist Veeresh Sobaradmutta.

On the Hindutva rants of the BJP and Sangh Parivar, the Home Minister said it was done only for the sake of politics. " We too are  practising Hindu Dharma with dedication," the minister said.

On Shobha Karandalje's comment that "Let the CM arrest me if he has courage," the Minister said no one is above law. "Neither me nor the CM can go to arrest her. The Police will act as per the law," he added.
