Non-Bailable Warrant Issued Against BJP MLA Over Remarks On Karnataka Minister's Wife

The case stems from Yatnal's alleged comments on Tabassum Rao, in which he reportedly suggested there was "half Pakistan" in Dinesh Gundu Rao's family.

A Bengaluru court has issued a non-bailable warrant against BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal for failing to appear before it in connection with a case registered against him for his alleged remarks against Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao's wife.

The case stems from Basanagouda Patil Yatnal's alleged comments on Tabassum Rao, in which he reportedly suggested there was "half Pakistan" in Dinesh Gundu Rao's family.

In response, Tabassum Rao filed a petition against Basanagouda Patil Yatnal and lodged a complaint with the Karnataka State Women's Commission against the BJP's social media cell, accusing them of making derogatory remarks about her.
