The Story in Brief
Police have registered an FIR against Aishwarya, daughter of BJP MLA B Suresh Gowda, after a woman sub-inspector alleged she was abused, assaulted and obstructed at a temple in Mandya district. The incident occurred on August 12 at Maramma Temple in Ukkada during Bhima Amavasya celebrations. Sub-inspector Savitha said Aishwarya demanded VIP entry into the sanctum sanctorum and, when asked to wait, abused her and slapped her. Aishwarya has filed a counter-complaint alleging the officer misbehaved. The MLA has apologised for his daughter's conduct and said anyone found guilty should face the law.
The Indian Opinion
Some have turned this into a political slugfest, painting the MLA's daughter as entitled and the police as weak. But both sides have filed complaints, and the officer's uniform does not automatically make her innocent. The real test is whether the inquiry will treat both complaints equally, without bending to the power of an MLA's name. If the police register a counter-FIR against the officer, the narrative flips. Watch which complaint gets investigated first.
