Special Court Summons K’taka BJP MLA Harish Poonja, 64 Other Party Members

A special court for public representatives in Bengaluru has summoned BJP MLA Harish Poonja along with 64 other party members. The summons pertains to allegations of obstructing police duties during protests against the arrest of Shashiraj Shetty, the BJP Belthangady Taluk Yuva Morcha president.

Poonja and the others are required to appear before the court on July 10, 2024.

The Beltangady police have filed two separate cases in this regard. Summons have been issued for 28 individuals in the first case and 37 in the second case.

Those involved must appear before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court on July 10 for a formal inquiry. The first case accuses MLA Poonja and other BJP workers of attempting to pressure the police into releasing Shashiraj Shetty, who was detained on charges of illegal quarrying. The second case is related to a protest held on May 20 outside an administrative building, opposing the FIR filed against Shetty.

Following the filing of chargesheets by the Belthangady police, the court decided to issue the summons on Thursday, marking the start of judicial proceedings scheduled for July 10.
