Karnataka: BJP MLA's son rides horse on national highway, flouts lockdown rules

Chamarajanagar, Karnataka: Amid the coronavirus pandemic, getting out of homes has become a struggle. With the imposed lockdown to arrest the spread of coronavirus, people have been confined to homes. However, this doesn't seem to apply to Gundlupet BJP MLA Niranjan Kumar's son Bhuvan Kumar as he was seen riding a horse on Mysore-Ooty national highway on May 11. Since then the video has gone viral and caused outrage. The nation is under lockdown and Mysuru is one of the hotspots in the country. The government has strictly warned everyone to wear a mask while stepping out of their homes. However, Bhuvan was seen blatantly flouting the rules. Chamarajanagar Police said they are verifying the video and will take immediate action as Bhuvan Kumar has flouted lockdown rules during the coronavirus pandemic.
