Karnataka BJP MLA Munirathna sent to police custody in harassment, bribery case
TUMAKURU (KARNATAKA): Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Sunday said BJP MLA N Munirathna, arrested in connection with two cases registered against him for allegedly issuing death threats to a BBMP contractor, has been sent to two-day police custody.
