Raichur: An incident was reported from Lingasugur town on Sunday, when a man armed with a lethal weapon entered the stage where Vijayapura legislator Basanagouda Patil Yatnal was speaking, during a programme organized by Sri Rama Sena.
The accused, identified as Srinivas from Hatti town, has been taken into custody by the police. He is reportedly an employee of the Hatti Gold Mines company and residing in Lingasugur.
The programme, ‘Hindu Samrajyotsava’, had been organized by Sri Rama Sena on the Government Pre-university College campus.

While his entry gave rise to panic for a few minutes, Sri Rama Sena activists took quick action to prevent any untoward incident. They caught and handed over Srinivas to the police officers who were on the spot.
The police have taken the man into custody and are interrogating regarding his actions.
