Udupi : Police have arrested one person named Raghavendra Kanchan in connection with the case of damaging the car of Udupi District Minister Kota Srinivas Poojari and attacking the residence of the Minister’s PA Raghavendra Ganiga during the wee hours of January 1. Meanwhile, three separate cases have been registered.
The differences between the district minister and the former Kundapur MLA is said to have triggered the attacks. Though Ganiga and Rama Poojari who were attacked were once good friends, some misunderstandings resulted in enmity. Moreover, Rama Poojari is a supporter of Halady Srinivas Shetty. A heated argument between Rama Poojari and Gangia on the night of December 31 had eventually led to the attack.
However, Halady Srinivas Shetty has said he had nothing to do with the incident.
