Vishnuvardhana and urged him to suspend SI Yellalinga.

Speaking on the occasion, Mysuru Bar Association  President G.V. Ramamurthy said that they were not protesting against the Police Department and it is not their intention to cause inconvenience to the public and added that they were seeking justice by holding protests peacefully.

He said that the CCTV footage of the incident captured by the camera installed in the Police Station be displayed and opined that if advocate Gokul Govardhan is at fault, he would be suspended from the Association and the Police can take legal action.
