“Why the BJYM volunteers thronged to the office of the Impact TV with intention to attack Popilal”, Ibobi question.
MPCC president K. Meghachandra said that the police team could have summoned the ongress youth leader instead of harassing the family of Popilal if they want to talk in connection with the case of assaulting two members of the BJYM, at which one is the person identified as Suresh which Popilal had heated debate during the discussion hour.
“CCTV footage have already been collected and the police had also received every information relating to the incident and had even stated that Popilal was in no way related to the incident of assaulting the two BJYM members as he was at that time staying at his residence with his brothers and sisters.
We had already approached the court in the matter as we have lost trust to the police run under the dictate of the present government, Meghachandra said.
