Bangalore, February 21: Another officer was attacked in the line of duty in Bangalore. The chief conservator of forests and Lokayukta officer UV Singh was attacked while inspecting the Nagavara lake in Bangalore.
Singh stopped by to question some people when he saw them dumping pollutants from a tanker into the lake.
He was attacked while he was questioning those people.
Singh was taken to a nearby hospital where he was discharged after first aid. Karnataka Lokayukta Santosh Hegde condemned the attack. He told Media that he wants the state government to intervene.
“Singh did not sustain any major injuries, but it is the audacity of the attack that shocks me. I want to see what actions does the state government take in this matter. I want to know what was the role played by the representative who was there at the spot,” he said.
