When the traffic police retaliated for the foul language used by Jagadish, he tried to assault a constable. However, other cops who were present at the scene prevented the situation from going out of control. He was then taken into police custody.

The incident took place under the limits of Chikkodi police station.

The public is questioning the administration about the high-handedness of the politicians, who do not care for the bureaucrats as well as the police officers. People have taken to social media to urge the administration to take stringent action against Jagadish, who allegedly misbehaved and even went to the extent of assaulting the police on duty.
