A woman lawyer smeared black paint on the face of Kannada writer and rationalist KS Bhagwan’s face. The incident happened inside the City Civil Court Complex near Mysore Bank Circle on Thursday, according to a report by Times of India.
The incident took place soon after the 76-year-old writer stepped out of a court hall and walked towards the entrance when advocate Meera Raghavendra blocked his path and blackened his face.
“You’ve grown so old and yet you abuse god and religion. Shame on you,” she shouted after the incident. Bhagwan immediately asked police accompanying him to arrest her. As cops walked towards Meera, she said, “Arrest me. I’m ready for everything.” As male cops announced they have to detain her for the act, Meera asked them to send women police to detain her before walking away.
Cops said they will serve a notice on Meera to appear before them for questioning by Friday.
