Bengaluru, DHNS: There was high drama at the Vidhana Soudha police station on Thursday when a former MLA’s wife claimed that he was avoiding her as he was in a relationship with another woman.

Savitha, wife of M P Kumaraswamy, a former BJP MLA from Mudigere, in Chikkamagalur district said that he had not visited her for more than six months now. She felt he was avoiding her as he didn’t bother to visit her in Mysuru where she works in a government department.

On Wednesday morning, Savitha, her mother and some relatives came to Bengaluru, looking for Kumaraswamy. They found him ensconced in the Legislators’ Home. Savitha asked Kumaraswamy to come with her, but he told her to go away and not disturb him. He then started walking to his car. Savitha followed him and snatched the car’s keys. Kumaraswamy got angry and hit her, police said. The couple then went to the Vidhana Soudha police station and started quarrelling even as bewildered police personnel watched on. Police tried to pacify them, but they didn’t budge. Police then asked Savitha if she wished to lodge a complaint against her husband. She refused, saying she wanted to stay with him, not put him behind bars, a senior police officer said.

Sensing more trouble, Kumaraswamy was asked to stay back in the police station while Savitha was sent to Vanitha Sahayavani (women’s helpline) at the police commissioner’s office on Infantry Road. The couple will be counselled. As of now, the police have not registered any case as Savitha insisted that it was a family matter and would be resolved among themselves. Police want Savitha to lodge a complaint. If she changes her mind, they will take the necessary action.
