Arvind Limbavali, BJP MLA for Mahadevapura, allegedly behaved rudely and verbally abused a woman while on a visit to Whitefield where properties which had encroached upon storm-water drains (SWDs) were being razed. A video of the incident, which took place earlier this week, went viral on social media, drawing flak from the public and Opposition leaders. The woman, Ruth Sagai Mary, owned a property in the area, whose compound wall was demolished.
While Whitefield police have not registered an FIR against the MLA, despite a complaint from Ms. Mary, she has been booked under various sections of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act and Disaster Management Act, based on a complaint by a revenue inspector.
