Registrar designate attacks doctor on transfer issue

 
Nagarajappa has lodged an attempt to murder complaint against Venkataramaiah and his friends with the Vijaynagar police, the police said.

The government had transferred Venkataramaiah and appointed Nagarajappa instead. Venkataramaiah was under the impression that Nagarajappa was behind his transfer episode.

On Friday night, Venkataramaiah drove near Nagarajappa’s residence along with two of his friends. They accosted Nagarajappa, who was returning home in his car after purchasing milk, on 4th Main Road in MC Layout and attacked him with lethal weapons.
