BANGALORE: Chief ministers H D Kumaraswamy's son Nikhil Gowda,who was involved in a restaurant brawl last month, could go scot-free.
The reason: the police said the hotelier has refused to identify Nikhil. The police are now filing a B-report, which is drawn up when there is no evidence to back up a case.
Nikhil Gowda (19) and his friend Syed Ehtesham allegedly roughed up staff at Empire Restaurant on Church Street after the staff refused to serve them food at 3 am on Oct 29.
In the brawl, Nikhil was injured, and he had filed a complaint with the Cubbon Park police against the restaurant staff.
ACP Bipin Gopalkrishna, when asked if the B-report had been filed, said: ‘No'. Are the police preparing a B-report?
"Yes, we are going to do that, because the restaurateur has refused to identify him (Nikhil)."Asked if there was any timeframe to file the report, he said, "No, there is no such thing. But we might file the report today or any time in the future."
Police commissioner N Achuta Rao said the city police have not filed the Breport yet. Two senior officers are supposed to be probing the case.
But, there is really nothing to investigate as both parties have agreed not to aggravate the issue and are willing for a compromise. No arrests have been made.
