Police in Karnataka's Ramanagara have filed a second case against state Congress chief DK Shivakumar and 40 otehrs, including his brother, Lok Sabha MP DK Suresh, for allegedly violating Covid-19 norms during the Shivakumar-led ‘padayatra’ demanding early implementation of the Mekedatu drinking water project across the Cauvery in the southern state. Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar “Around 41 persons, including Shivakumar and Member of Parliament, DK Suresh, have been named in an FIR that has been filed at the Sathanur police station for violation of Covid-19 norms,” informed a police officer. In the first FIR, filed on Sunday, day 1 of the 10-day padayatra, a total of 30 people were named for allegedly violating the Covid-19 norms imposed across Karnataka.
