Mysore Police have arrested the Sri Rama Sena chief Pramod Muthalik on charges of delivering an ‘inflammatory’ speech in the aftermath of the group clashes involving two communities in the city during April this year. A team of policemen from Mysore arrived in Belgaum on July 24 and arrested the Hindutva outfit leader. They immediately took him to Mysore where he was produced in a court later on July 25. Police sources said Muthalik was held on charges of making an inflammatory speech at Kyatamaranahalli in Mysore, which witnessed two violent incidents in April and earlier this month. While one person was killed in police firing in the April incident, three were killed in violence this month. The main accused behind the incident of desecration of a religious school in the troubled area, arrested a few days ago by the police had revealed that he was ‘inspired’ by the speech made by Muthalik after two places of worship were desecrated during the April riots. Muthalik had been in the eye of storm recently after his followers attacked a pub in Mangalore and beat up girls who were in it.
