Bengaluru. Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah’s security was breached during an event on Sunday. A stage was made for the event. Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah and other dignitaries were seated on the stage. Welcome speeches were being given to all. During that time, there was a sudden commotion. The reason for this commotion was a young man. Shortly after Siddaramaiah sat on the stage, a young man from the crowd ran towards the stage. Before anyone could understand anything, he reached the stage and quickly pounced towards Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah. Before the young man could reach CM Siddaramaiah, the CM’s security personnel came into action and caught him. Later, the police took the young man away by holding him by the neck. Watch the video.

The youth who rushed towards Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah was also carrying a flag in his hand. The police is questioning him to know why the youth wanted to reach Siddaramaiah. Earlier on 9 April 2024, there was a major breach in the security of Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah. At that time, during the campaign for the Lok Sabha elections, a person named Riyaz reached Siddaramaiah in Bengaluru South with a pistol. He also garlanded Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy, who was standing next to Siddaramaiah. The police had then said that Riyaz had been attacked earlier and he has been given permission to keep a pistol even during the elections.
In April this year, a youth named Riyaz had reached Siddaramaiah with a pistol.
Now once again a big lapse in Siddaramaiah’s security has come to light. If the CM’s security personnel present on the spot had not caught the young man, something untoward could have happened. Siddaramaiah is a senior Congress leader. Earlier, Siddaramaiah was in JDS, but due to differences with the leadership, he left it and joined Congress.
