Karnataka: DK Shivakumar Orders Probe After Ministers Stopped From Entering Mysuru Palace Event
Shivakumar said he intervened to let the ministers in and ordered a report on the police officers involved.
- On Wednesday, IPS officer C.B. Rishyanth blocked Cabinet Ministers H.C. Balakrishna, P.M. Narendraswamy, and K.S. Basavantappa from entering the Nandidhwaja Pooja venue at Mysuru Palace during Mysuru Dasara festivities, while allowing Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to proceed.
- The Ministers were traveling to rituals marking the start of the Vijayadashami procession when stopped, prompting Shivakumar to return and intervene at the spot to resolve the impasse.
- Culture Minister Shivaraj Tangadagi, also a Dalit, faced similar restrictions but was allowed entry after Shivakumar's intervention; all four officials ultimately gained access after the officer recognized their identities.
- Calling the conduct "high-handed," Shivakumar warned that "such official apathy" would not go unpunished and directed Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh to conduct an inquiry into the security breach.
- Deputy Chief Minister Parameshwara urged against politicizing the incident, defending police enforcement of security protocols and questioning why the matter was framed as a controversy involving Dalit Ministers.
