Bengaluru (Karnataka): A case has been registered against Congress leader Kavitha Reddy for allegedly attacking and abusing film actress Samyuktha Hegde booked on September 4 inside a lake park here, police said on Monday.
According to HSR Layout police, Hegde has complained that Reddy had outraged her modesty and assaulted her based on which the case has been registered.
The case was registered against Reddy under various sections of the IPC, police added.
Later, the Congress leader apologised on her official Twitter handle saying that she committed a mistake for 'reacting aggressively'.
"I have always opposed moral policing. I realise that my actions were construed as such. An argument ended up in me reacting aggressively as well, it was a mistake," Reddy had tweeted on Sunday.
"As a responsible citizen and a progressive woman, I own up to and sincerely apologise to @SamyukthaHegde and her Friends!" she added.
Hegde had alleged on Saturday that Reddy tried to attack and abuse her and her friends for doing a hula-hooping workout at a park wearing workout clothes at the Agara Lake in the city.
