Congress MLA’s son surrenders

Bengaluru, February 19

Ruling Congress MLA NA Haris’ son Mohammed Nalapad Haris, who has been booked for allegedly assaulting a man at a pub-cum-restaurant here, surrendered before the police here today.

Remaining elusive after the police booked him and his friends in the pub brawl case on Saturday, Nalapad turned up at the Cubbon Park police station and surrendered, as the incident became a major issue ahead of the coming Karnataka Assembly polls.

“Mohammed Nalapad Haris has surrendered before us for assaulting Vidwat,” a senior police official said.

As Nalapad surrendered, BJP and JD(S) activists gathered outside the police station and staged a protest. The MLA said he had advised his son to surrender. — PTI
