Karnataka BJP MLA’s daughter booked for slapping woman police sub-inspector after spat over skipping temple queue
According to the complaint, Aishwarya allegedly sought permission to enter the sanctum directly without standing in the queue.
On August 12, a daughter of Karnataka BJP MLA B Suresh Gowda allegedly slapped a police sub-inspector at the Maramma Temple in Ukkada during Bhima Amavasya celebrations, according to a police report. The incident occurred after the sub-inspector denied Aishwarya Gowda entry into the sanctum without waiting in the designated queue.
The woman police officer alleged that Aishwarya, who claims to be the MLA's daughter, abused and hit her after being told to wait. Aishwarya has filed a counter-complaint, leading to an inquiry, while no FIR has been registered against her. Gowda apologized for his daughter's behavior, stating that if she made a mistake, she should face consequences under the law.
He emphasized the need for respectful conduct in public life and called for a departmental inquiry into the incident.
