Mangaluru, Nov 1: Former MLA Mohiuddin Bava has clarified his stand on the assault incident that took place outside a private hotel after the announcement of the final list of candidates of the Congress party for the upcoming MCC elections.
In his clarification on the incident and also accusation of taking money for issuing ticket, Mohiuddin Bava said, "Son of former mayor of MCC Gulzar Banu and driver were together just before the scuffle that took place. Argument was going on with regards to the issuing of ticket. At the same time, Banu’s son suddenly attacked me.
"It is a baseless allegation that I have taken money from her. I have not received money from anyone. We had given Gulzar Banu ticket from the Congress party on two occasions. In the last elections, she was rejected by the voters. Everyone has the intention of contesting elections again. Police have registered a case of assault. The cops have collected all information in this regard from me,” he said.
