Congress leader Vishwanath’s son accused of vandalism


MYSORE, Jul 9 (TOI) : The Congress in Karnataka is facing more trouble. After legislator Vijayanand Kashappanavar's alleged slapping of police constables, Congress leader Vishwanath's son Poorvaj is in the news for alleged vandalism at a roadside hotel near Hunsur town on Monday night. 

Hotel owner Sandesh alleged that Poorvaj and his friends came to the hotel on Monday night and demanded food and liquor. As it was past closing time, the men were refused service. This angered Poorvaj and his friends, and they ransacked the place and set a canopy made of hay on fire, the complaint states. 


Based on the complaint, the Hunsur town police have booked a case against Poorvaj and five others under various sections of the IPC. Poorvaj has been charged for causing damage to property, and for threatening people at the hotel. Poorvaj, however, denied indulging in arson or vandalism. "I visited the hotel to recover money which the hotel owner owed me. But I returned when I was told he was not at the hotel," he said. 

Reacting to the complaint, Congress leader A H Vishwanath said: "The law will take its course, I do not want to interfere. If my son has committed any crime, let police investigate and take action against him." 


Ex-MP's son not new to drunken brawls

Poorvaj Vishwanath, the younger son of former Mysore and Kodagu MP A H Vishwanath  is not new to controversies, especially when it comes to drunken brawls.

In the year 2004, Poorvaj was booked for assaulting a police sub-inspector attached to Lakshmipuram station. K N Yeshwanth Kumar was the SI (now inspector at CCB, Bangalore), who was allegedly attacked by Poorvaj under the influence of liquor near Kukkarahalli lake off Bogadi road.

Kumar was returning home from work, when Poorvaj and his friends in a car were found driving recklessly. Kumar, who had a providential escape at that time, had succeeded in stopping Poorvaj’s car.

In his complaint, Kumar had stated that he had been assaulted by Poorvaj with a broken beer bottle, which inflicted severe injuries on his right hand. A case had been registered under IPC sections 332 and 333 (for assaulting a police personnel on duty). 

The case is being tried at a court here. According to sources, in the recent past too, Poorvaj had created a ruckus at a resort on Hunsur road in Mysore, and a bar owned by his brother in Saraswatipuram. However, no complaints had been lodged in this regard.

Family

Poorvaj is the son of Venkatalakshmi second wife of Vishwanath. He resides with his mother, wife and son, opposite KSRTC bus depot at Aravinda Nagar in the city

    For Gonazales as far this guy dint vandalize inside the assembly it's not a big news. For rest of the congis, as far as this guy dint watch porn it's nothing bug. Vandalism is in congress culture. Even though most of Congress pro media choose not to report it about how the congi goondas vandalized Sadananda gowdas house or how they vandalized Mr Hiranaiah s function as hour spoke against congress. These are the same Internet kai sevaks who talk about freedom of expression.

    With BJP leading the way and winning popular support with such acts in the past, it is natural for other aspiring politicians to learn the art of winning.
