A Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Karnataka was caught on camera assaulting staff of a private hospital in Karwar in Uttar Kannada district.

In a CCTV video, Karwar MP Ananthkumar Hegde is seen thrashing doctors alleging that they were not taking proper care of his mother admitted in the hospital. No case has been registered so far in the matter.

Dr Madhukeshwara Jeevi, Dr Balachandra and Dr Rahul Marshakar were reportedly thrashed by the BJP MP.

This is not for the first time that Hegde has been in news for a wrong reason.

CHEQUERED PAST

In March 2016, the police registered a criminal case against him suo motu for his remarks linking Islam to terrorism.

The five-time MP from Uttara Kannada had allegedly made the remarks at a press conference at Sirsi, drawing a link between Islam and terrorism, triggering protests from Muslim organisations.

Muslim organisations in the communally sensitive Bhatkal town in the district had held protests against Hegde.
