Bengaluru:
Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has been taken into preventive custody by the police after he sat in protest outside a Bengaluru hotel where the rebel Madhya Pradesh MLAs are staying. He was allegedly stopped by the police from entering the hotel.
Mr Singh, who landed in Bengaluru early this morning, was received by newly-appointed Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar at the airport.
The Congress leaders headed to the Ramada Hotel in north Bengaluru where the 21 rebel MLAs are staying.
"We were expecting them to come back, but when we saw they're being held back, messages came from their families. I personally spoke to five MLAs. They said they're captive and that their phones have been snatched away. There is Police in front of every room. They're being followed 24/7," Mr Singh said.
