Deputy Commissioner D Randeep on Monday said that he has directed Hunsur Assistant Commissioner to take measures to book a case under Motor Vehicle Act against MP Pratap Simha for taking out a road show, during Hanuma Jayanti procession in Hunsur that was held on January 27.
Speaking to reporters, the DC said that the jayanti procession was peaceful.
"The district administration had asked the organisers to conclude the programme before 4.30 pm, but, it concluded at 5.30 pm. As the issue was a minor one and no untoward incident was reported, we did not take any legal action. But even though, road shows were banned, a few leaders including MP Pratap Simha took out a procession. I have asked the authorities concerned to register a case under MC Act," the DC said.
