The Karnataka BJP has called for a judicial inquiry into the arrest of BJP MLC CT Ravi. The party claims he was treated poorly, being transported overnight without food or water, and likened to a terrorist. CT Ravi was arrested by Bengaluru police on Thursday after state minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar filed a complaint over derogatory remarks he allegedly made. He was released on interim bail by the Karnataka High Court the following day. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah condemned Ravi's remarks as a criminal offense. Union Minister Pralhad Joshi accused the Congress government of misusing power against political opponents.
