EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @Davanagere

Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly R Ashoka on Friday said the BJP will formally lodge a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission over the "manhandling, illegal arrest, overnight torture and subsequent threats" against former minister and MLC CT Ravi by the Belagavi police and the Congress-led state government.

Addressing the media in the city, he said the police tried to pressurize Ravi and weaken him mentally and physically by taking him across four districts covering 800 km, stopping at isolated places. "The state government which treats terrorists with a red carpet has treated BJP leader Ravi like a terrorist, which is very sad," he said.
