The Chamarajanagar district police have arrested a youth who was sporting the “PayCM” logo on his t-shirt while participating in the Bharat Jodo yatra near Begur in Gundlupet taluk on Saturday.
The youth identified as Kumar from Vijayapura district was walking with the other rallyists on the second day of the Karnataka leg of the yatra, which left Tondavadi Gate in Gundlupet before entering Mysuru district, when a group of police personnel caught up with him and forced him remove the t-shirt bearing the “PayCM” logo.
Superintendent of Chamarajanagar district police Shivakumar confirmed the arrest of the youth. He said the police had received a complaint against the “public nuisance” caused by the person wearing the t-shirt with the logo in the padayatra. He had been seen wearing the t-shirt on Friday and action was taken against him on Saturday, he said. However, the youth was later released on station bail as it was a non-cognisable offence.
