The Federation of Organisations and Associations of Mysuru and the Hotel Owners’ Association have condemned the assault on the owner of a hotel in Bamboo Bazaar by a police officer accusing him of not complying with the night curfew rules.
In this regard, the Federation has decided to file a complaint with the Commissioner of Police, highlighting the alleged harassment caused to the legitimate traders and businessmen in Mysuru by police personnel in the name of enforcing curbs over pandemic and the night curfew.
While urging the Commissioner of Police to render justice in the case as the hotel owner was slapped and also beaten with a stick by the police officer for keeping the hotel open, the Federation has threatened to stage a protest if no action was taken in connection with the case. The incident of the police officer thrashing the hotel owner has been captured in the hotel’s CCTV.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
