Sandalwood actress Samyuktha Hegde decided not to take the case forward considering Kavitha Reddy’s “age”. Kavitha Reddy was arrested and released on bail the same day.

Bengaluru: Congress spokesperson and activist Kavitha Reddy was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly harassing and abusing Sandalwood actress Samyuktha Hegde at a Bengaluru park on September 4.

However, she was released within a few hours on bail.

A senior officer from the HSR Layout police station told a news daily, “Kavitha Reddy was arrested based on the complaint by Samyuktha Hegde and released on station bail on the same day.”

Meanwhile, Samyuktha Hegde claimed on social media that she no longer wanted to pursue her case against Kavitha Reddy.

In a post shared by Samyuktha Hegde a part of the caption read “I’ve consulted with my family and also keeping Kavitha Reddy’s age in mind, I am not interested and don’t want to pursue my case against her and I have formally requested the police yesterday about the same.”

Samyuktha had named another person named Anil Reddy, a resident of HSR Layout, in her complaint.

In her social media post, she stated that she still hoped strong action would be taken against him.

Another part of Samyuktha’s post read “However, I want to be clear: I still hope that strong action is taken against Anil Reddy and the others with him, who threatened and abused us at the park and made us feel so helpless. Nobody in the world has a right to make you feel like that and it will not be tolerated anymore”.

Based on reports, Anil Reddy has not been arrested yet. Police officers told a few news portals that they are still looking for him.

For the uninitiated, Samyuktha Hegde had alleged on Saturday that Kavitha Reddy abused her and her friends for working out in a sports-bra at the Agara Lake in HSR Layout.
