Bengaluru, Nov 5: A Yoga guru attacked a youth for questioning his alleged indecent behaviour with a foreign woman under the pretext of teaching Yoga close to the main stage of the ongoing Hampi Utsav - 17
Police have arrested Raja (31), a resident of Hsapet, who claims to be a yoga teacher living in the Himalayas.
Around 9.30pm, several youths heard some people talking behind the main stage near the Anjanaya Temple. They spotted Raja and a foreign woman. When Rajshekhar, 24, a resident of Hospet, questioned them, Raja attacked him with a stick and injured him on the head.
Even as a crowd gathered at the spot, police nabbed Raja. He told them, "I came by train to Hampi with the Russian woman from Delhi. I'm teaching her yoga."
K P Ravi, PSI Hampi police station, said: "Rajshekhar filed a complaint against Raja. The Russian woman did not file any complaint." Police said while she doesn't know any language other than Russian, Raja is familiar with many languages.
On Saturday, the accused was sent to judicial custody. In 2016, he was arrested for assaulting a policeman and was out on bail.
