A constable, armed with a service rifle, allegedly threatened to kill the police sub-inspector at Magadi police station over the issue of sanctioning leave on Monday night.
Constable Naveen has been working for four years in Magadi police station and recently, sub-inspector Bhaskar was transferred there. Naveen was on leave on May 24 and 25.

The SI told Naveen that he will send him home, took his gun and allegedly threatened to shoot Naveen, but left the station after some time.
Enraged, Naveen took a rifle and began shouting: “Even I have a rifle now. If he shoots me, I will also shoot him.” Naveen also lodged a complaint against the SI about alleged harassment.
