Man held for pelting stones at CM's house

Mysuru, NT Bureau: A man was arrested for pelting stones at Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s residence in TK Layout in Mysuru early on Tuesday.

The police have arrested a 40-year-old man and have registered an FIR against him at Saraswathipuram police station here.

Preliminary inquiries by the police suggest that the accused is the same person who came to cast his vote at a polling booth in Hootagalli during the Assembly elections, but had thrashed the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) control unit.

Though the man is suspected to be of unsound mind, the police said they are yet to confirm the same.
