In the video, a man is seeing trying to capture a selfie with Karnataka’s Energy Minister DK Shivakumar on his phone. Irked, the minister slaps away the man’s hand and shoves him aside. The man stumbles and his phone falls to the ground. The minister's supporters then hastily clear the way for him.

This is not the first time the minister has assaulted someone attempting to take a selfie with him. Last year, DK Shivakumar was seen hitting a student who tried to take a picture with him.

As the minister was addressing reporters, the boy sneaked behind him in an attempt to take a selfie. However, visibly annoyed with this, the minister slapped the phone out the boy’s hand.

Shockingly, even as the minister hit the boy, none of Shivakumar’s supporters helped the student, and in fact, some of them were even seen laughing over the incident, as per the visuals.
