Mysuru: Police have registered a case against seven persons on charges of assaulting the car driver of Mandya MP Sumalatha Ambareesh on Wednesday.

JDS workers were angry over their MLA Sa Ra Mahesh not being invited to the programme. However, Sumalatha and her Congress supporters maintained that since the work is being taken up with MP local area development fund inviting the local MLA did not violate protocol. Soon a clash broke out between the supporters of Sumalatha and Mahesh. In the milieu, Sumalatha's driver Nanjunda was assaulted by a group of JDS supporters.
Nanjunda has been admitted to KR Nagar government hospital for treatment. Sumalatha filed a complaint against seven persons for assaulting her driver. Saligrama police registered a case.
