The results of the bypolls to the three assembly constituencies in Karnataka including Hebbal were announced on Tuesday.

Mr. Jaffer Sharief had lobbied hard to get ticket for his grandson as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had urged the party high command to field his close aide and Independent MLC Byrathi Suresh, a popular leader in the region.

Mr. Rahman Sharief had lost to Jagadish Kumar of the BJP in the 2013 Assembly election by a margin of just 5,000 votes in Hebbal. More details are waited
