HASSAN: Prajwal Revanna, grandson of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda and son of Janata Dal (S) nominee for Halekote Zilla Panchayat seat, Bhavani Revanna, was accused of leading an attacking on a car belonging to a relative of Congress nominee Sunil at Halekote village on Friday night.
Mr Sunil told DC on Saturday that his uncle Mohan was parking his car at Halekote village around 9.30 pm when about 30-members came in cars and started attacking the car belonging to Mr Mohan. The attackers were allegedly led by Mr Prajwal Revanna.
At the time of the attack, Mr Mohan was not in the car but his driver was parking the vehicle when the group stormed in him. The driver ran for safety, he alleged. The windshield of the car was damaged following the attack.
Mr Sunil added that Mr Prajwal was overheard telling his supporters to smash Congress workers. The Congress nominee added that two more cars of his supporters also came under attack allegedly by JD (S) men in the vicinity.
Mr Mohan has lodged a complaint in Holenarsipur police station. Mr Prajwal Revanna, however, denied that he led the attacks on cars of supporters of the Congress nominee.
Four congress workers injured in clash
Four Congress workers were injured when they were attacked by JD(S) men with blades at a polling station at Santeshivara village in Hassan district on Saturday.
Official sources told Deccan Chronicle that a woman entered a polling booth to vote without carrying her voter ID. Booth agents of a party wanted to allow her to cast her vote while those of the other party objected to her voting without her voter ID card. This led to an altercation resulting in minor injuries to Congress workers.
