Congress expels MLA's son for brutal attack on youth at Bengaluru restaurant
Bengaluru, Feb 18 (IBNS): The Congress party on Sunday expelled MLA NA Harris’ son Mohammad Nalapad on Sunday after he and his friends attacked a youth in an upscale Bengaluru restaurant.
Nalapad, the Bangalore District Youth Congress General Secretary, has been expelled from the party for six years.
This comes after he and 10 of his supporters reportedly attacked a person named Vidwath and beat him up.
On Saturday, Vidwath, was having dinner at a high-end restaurant in UB City when Mohammad Nalapad and his friends walked in at 11:30pm.
The group reportedly told Vidwath, who had a plaster on one of his legs, to “sit properly”.
After a heated exchange, the group started thrashing Vidwath.
Nalapad and his friends allegedly also tried to attack the victim’s brother.
Nalpad was booked on Saturday itself.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah told News18: "I have seen your report and ordered the strictest possible action against Haris' son. The police will arrest him. No such criminal act will be tolerated. Law is same for all. We uphold it."
On Twitter, the Chief Minister said the offenders would be punished “regardless of who they are”.
Offenders should be punished to the full extent of law regardless of who they are. No less, no more.@CPBlr will take action as per law and bring the guilty to book. https://t.co/H0Km8zauVz
