Mulbagal, Karnataka: The nation watches closely as the investigation concludes into a formal complaint lodged against Mr. Anjappa, a Junior Engineer (JE) at the BESCOM office in Taylur, Mulbagal. The complaint, filed by Mr. Satish Kumar, District Vice President of BJP Yuva Morcha for Kolar, and Mr. Rohan Kumar K, President of the Mulbagal Taluku Citizens Forum, alleges severe misconduct during a public event commemorating Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti on April 14, 2025.
In the event of perceived inaction or injustice, the complainants have indicated their resolve to approach the judiciary by filing a writ petition in the High Court under Articles 226 or 32 of the Indian Constitution, seeking redress for the alleged violation of fundamental rights and the failure of authorities to act. The coming days are crucial in determining the course of justice in this sensitive and widely followed case.
Mr. Anjappa is accused of misusing the government stage to promote caste and community agendas for personal gain, thereby undermining the principles of unity and integrity that national festivals and government platforms are meant to uphold. Furthermore, the complainants allege that Mr. Anjappa deliberately hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus and violated their fundamental rights by his actions and statements during the event held at the BESCOM office premises in Mulabagilu Taluku.
The complaint details how such actions not only disrespect the beliefs of a significant religious group but also misuse the legacy of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, a leader who championed the rights to life and religious freedom. It further condemns the alleged disregard for the core values of the Indian Constitution and Dr. Ambedkar’s own beliefs in equality and justice for all.
Copies of the complaint were submitted to key administrative and police officials, including Shri Nikhil IPS, Superintendent of Police for Kolar District, Sri Dr. M R Ravi IAS, District Magistrate for Kolar District, Smt. Geeta Ji KAS, Taluk Magistrate for Mulabagilu Taluk, and the Executive Engineer of BESCOM Kolar.
The case has garnered significant attention nationwide, raising critical questions about the accountability of public servants. Citizens are keenly observing whether the law will be applied uniformly, without any special treatment or delays for a government official accused of such serious misconduct and blatant disregard for religious sentiments.
The incident has also reignited concerns about politically motivated individuals attempting to undermine the fundamental rights of Hindus in various parts of the country. This case is seen as a crucial test of whether public servants, who are duty-bound to uphold the Constitution and national values, will be held accountable for actions that allegedly threaten national integrity and promote discrimination against a religious community.
The public awaits the decision of the Mulbagal Town Police Inspector, hoping for action in accordance with the law and the fundamental duties enshrined in the Constitution. There is palpable apprehension that political pressure might unduly influence the investigation.
In the event of perceived inaction or injustice, the complainants have indicated their resolve to approach the judiciary by filing a writ petition in the High Court or Supreme Court under Articles 226 or 32 of the Indian Constitution, seeking redress for the alleged violation of fundamental rights and the failure of authorities to act. The coming days are crucial in determining the course of justice in this sensitive and widely followed case.
