An Andhra Pradesh IAS officer and three others were booked for attacking a police inspector during a late-night check at a Bengaluru bar on October 10.
During a police inspection of bars and restaurants in the Cubbon Park and Ashok Nagar zones, officers arrived at Cavore on Residency Road around 1:30 am on October 10. While checking customers' identity cards, they were confronted by Vikas Marmat, a special officer of the Kuppam Area Development Authority, and three companions—Abhay Uday Singh, Nitish and Roshan—who allegedly abused, threatened and physically assaulted Inspector Arun Salunke and his colleagues.
The inspector received medical care before lodging a complaint at the Cubbon Park police station.
