Bengaluru, March 5 (IANS) The Karnataka Police on Tuesday nabbed the main accused behind the attack on an RSS worker in Bengaluru, who was assaulted while he was returning after attending a programme organised in favour of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in 2019.
The accused has been identified as Azhar, who was arrested by the police from the Bangarpet town in Kolar district.
