MYSURU: Though Gram Panchayat election results are out and hectic lobbying for the post of panchayat president and vice-president is on, violence against voters continues unabated.
In an incident reported at the Gundlupet police limits, a 61-year-old woman has filed a complaint, alleging that a candidate who lost the Gram Panchayat election attacked her.
Tolasamma, a resident of Kannegala village, stated that she was attacked by three men at her house allegedly for not voting in favour of that candidate.
“After realising that I did not vote for them and did not take part in campaigning activities, they barged into my house and assaulted me. I have filed a complaint and sought police protection,” said Tolasamma.
In another incident reported in a village in Nagamangala taluk, a candidate who lost Gram Panchayat polls allegedly damaged a school compound to put the blame on the contractor who had supported the winning candidate.
