Bengaluru (Karnataka): The Karnataka High Court on Thursday granted an interim stay on the First Information Report (FIR) filed against well-known Kannada actor Upendra at the Halasuru Gate police station and adjourned the hearing to August 24.
Senior lawyer Uday Holla, who argued for Upendra, said, "The complainant cut a cake in front of the Halasur police station. They made a malicious complaint against Upendra for publicity. A minister also made the same statement. But no First Information Report (FIR) was registered. The police only put NCR. The First Information Report (FIR) was registered because Upendra is a film actor. Two FIRs cannot be filed for the same charge."
