Bengaluru: Congress leader Narayanswamy who threw petrol inside Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) office earlier this week threatening to set it on fire, surrendered before the police here on February 23.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on February 20, had directed the BWSSB President Tushar Girinath to suspend the leader.
Narayanaswamy, a close aid of Congress MLA Byrati Basavaraj, had taken the grave step after a fake document which he submitted was rejected by an official.
The video posted by local channels showed Narayanaswamy splashing petrol from a bottle in the BBMP office at Bengaluru’s Horamavu. The official had reportedly refused to provide a fake land document as per his demands. Narayanawamy is also the block president of K R Puram in Bengaluru.
