The High Court on Thursday told the state government not to glorify V Shashidhar, president of Akhila Karnataka Police Maha Sangha.
Shashidhar was arrested by the police on the midnight of June 2 in the backdrop of the 'mass leave' threat by the police. The police have booked him for sedition and instigating police personnel to go on leave and for creating law and order problems in the state.
Justice Anand Byrareddy, reserving the order, questioned the government on how they booked Shashidhar under sedition charges when there was no violent protest staged by him and his followers.
Additional Advocate General AS Ponnanna argued that there was a conspiracy hatched against the government and the agitation called by him to go on mass leave was politically motivated to topple the government. The judge reserved the orders.
