Mysuru : Police have registered an FIR after a BJP activist accused “four supporters” of former Chamaraja MLA and BJP city unit president L Nagendra of threatening to kill him and forcing him to record an apology video.
Rajachari told Mysuru South police that Nagendra omitted former MP Pratap Simmha’s name while mentioning several leaders in his welcome address. Rajachari and other BJP workers questioned the omission, following which police personnel asked them to leave the venue. Rajachari alleged that the men forced him to make the statement, recorded it and circulated it on social media. They also allegedly threatened to kill him and his family if he disclosed the incident.
Because of the threats, rajachari, who said he does not consume alcohol and does not know the men’s identities, claimed he delayed filing the complaint. He sought legal action and protection for himself and his family.
