A BJP worker sustained head injuries following an assault by two individuals who reportedly struck him with a wooden stick in Kempashettidoddi village of Ramanagara, according to the police on Thursday. The victim, identified as farmer Naveen, was attacked on April 9. In response, the BJP has accused the Congress of targeting BJP and JD(S) workers.

According to Naveen's family, after Naveen received a call from his friends he had visited his acquaintance Shekhar's house the day before the attack. However, Naveen did not return home that night. 

In his complaint, Naveen's brother Shivakumar C S stated that upon receiving a call on April 9 about his brother being at Shekhar's house, he and their father went to bring him back home. Upon their arrival, they witnessed Shekhar and an accomplice assaulting Naveen with a wooden stick. Even though they attempted to stop him, the assailants allegedly brandished a knife before fleeing the scene. 

Naveen was immediately taken to a local hospital for initial treatment and subsequently transferred to another facility for further medical care, as per a report on PTI.

Shivakumar mentioned that Shekhar and Naveen had dealt with financial matters, raising concerns that a disagreement over money could have triggered the argument, resulting in the attack.

“Based on the complaint, a case has been registered under sections 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapon or means), 504 ( Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code at Bidadi police station and further investigation is underway", a senior police officer said, as per PTI, adding, nobody has been arrested in the matter yet.
