Bidadi police have registered a criminal case against Karnataka Rashtra Samiti (KRS) leader Ravikrishna Reddy following a complaint from farmer Rajanna H.C., who alleged he was publicly insulted and defamed during a protest meeting held on June 6 in Ramanagara district. The protest was organized against a government land acquisition project, though Rajanna had consented to the acquisition of his own land for a township development. According to the complaint, Reddy used derogatory language and referred to Rajanna as a "real estate agent" and "cheat" among other offensive expressions, allegedly damaging his reputation in front of the public gathering. The Bidadi police initially filed a non-cognisable report (NCR) before obtaining court permission to escalate the matter to criminal proceedings. The case has been registered under Section 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, with investigation continuing.
