The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike on Monday told the High Court of Karnataka that an inquiry is under way on the allegation that Chief Engineer (Road and Infrastructure) B.S. Prahalad had assaulted a director of city-based American Road Technology and Solutions Pvt. Ltd., which was given contract to fill potholes using automatic machine called Python.
A submission in this regard was made on behalf of BBMP before a Division Bench, comprising Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi and Justice Ashok S. Kinagi, during a hearing on PIL petitions on the poor maintenance of city roads.
The BBMP Counsel also said that the Chief Commissioner has ordered an inquiry into the allegation and the report is expected in about three days.
