Bengaluru: Former Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday added that nobody can harm him or do anything to him. His remarks came in the wake of recent reports that he is now under the radar of investigating agencies.
Speaking at an event at Channapatna, HDK clarified that he was already scheduled to be in Channapatna and hence he was unable to attend the protest against DKShi’s arrest in Bengaluru. Condemning the arrest of former Karnataka Minister Shivakumar, HDK added that had it been scheduled and had he been invited earlier he would have joined the protest in Bengaluru.
“But our party leaders and workers have joined the protest and are supporting them,” HDK added.
“They say I am their next target and I will be arrested next. I want to tell them that nobody can harm or do anything to this Kumaraswamy. I have done nothing wrong,” the two-time Karnataka CM said.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court of India on Friday granted anticipatory bail to Congress leader Pawan Khera in connection with an FIR registered by the Assam Police.
The case arose from a complaint filed by Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, wife of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, over allegations made by Khera that she possessed multiple passports.
A bench comprising Justice JK Maheshwari and Justice AS Chandurkar delivered the judgment after reserving orders on Khera’s petition challenging the dismissal of his anticipatory bail plea by the Gauhati High Court.
In its ruling, the Supreme Court observed that the High Court’s findings were not based on a proper appreciation of the material on record and appeared to be erroneous, particularly in shifting the burden onto the accused.
The bench further held that the High Court erred in making observations regarding an offence under Section 339 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, noting that the FIR did not contain any such allegation. It stated that such conclusions could not have been drawn merely on the basis of submissions made by the Advocate General.
