EXCLUSIVE: Congress MLA Byrathi Suresh Reacts After Youth Tries To Stabs Him..,

Bengaluru: An attempt was made on a Congress lawmaker’s life in Bengaluru on Friday when a man tried to attack the legislator of Hebbal with a knife. The accused was handed over to police by the staff of MLA Byrathi Suresh after they managed to overpower him.

“An attempt to murder case has been registered in the Kothnur police station limits. The MLA did not suffer any injury,” said DCP North-East Bhimashankar Guled.

The attacker, identified as Shivakumar, works in the locality as a carpenter. Sources said he dashed his two-wheeler into the MLA's car the moment Suresh came out of his house to enter the vehicle.

Shivakumar then pulled out a knife and tried to stab the MLA, but was overpowered by Suresh’s security staff. The motive of the attack is being ascertained.

Suresh, a loyalist of former chief minister Siddaramaiah, is likely to field his wife in the by-election to the neighboring Assembly constituency KR Puram that is scheduled to be held next month.
