Private firm manager held for anti-Kannada remarks

The Sanjaynagar police have arrested an HR manager of a private company for his anti-Kannada and anti-Kannadiga remarks.

The arrested is Satwik Sachchar, a resident of Sanjaynagar. Sachchar had ordered dinner through a mobile app to be delivered at his house. There was a little delay in the delivery. Sachchar lost his cool and yelled at Anil, the delivery boy, when the latter reached his house. Anil attempted to reason out for being late, in Kannada. Sachchar abused Anil in Hindi and English.

“Anil claimed that he did not understand Hindi and English. An irked Sachchar again abused Anil and made objectionable remarks against Kannada language and Kannadigas,” said a police officer.

The police arrested Sachchar based on Anil’s complaint. Sachchar has obtained bail.
