Actor-politician Upendra approaches Karnataka HC again against multiple FIRs

Bengaluru, Aug 16 (PTI) Kannada actor-director Upendra has approached the High Court of Karnataka with a second writ petition within days, challenging the registering of multiple FIRs against him on the same issue.

The actor-turned-politician had earlier approached the Court on Monday seeking to quash the FIR lodged against him alleging offences under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, following which the court had stayed the FIR lodged in Chennammanakere Achukattu police station.

A second FIR was registered at Halasuru Gate Police station on August 13, 2023, following a complaint by one Bharat Harishkumar, president of an outfit called the Karnataka Ranadheera Pade.
