    Thursday incident: What happened that angered Karnataka High Court?
  • On Thursday, officials including BBMP's Assistant Revenue Officer (ARO) Bhadrachar were attacked by youths who alleged the land, from where the advertisements were being removed, belonged to their employer Santosh Reddy and that it's under litigation.

    They added BBMP had given permission for erecting the ads, but ARO continued removing the hoardings, inviting their ire.

    Four were arrested in this case. Some are absconding.
