Bangalore:
Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa on Tuesday apologised for the alleged misconduct of Labour Minister B N Bachegowda.
"I am pained. I tender my apology," Yeddyurappa told reporters reacting to a newspaper report which alleged that Bachegowda's gunman assaulted a real estate businessman for overtaking the minister's car near Nelamangala on the Bangalore outskirts last evening.
Bachegowda was returning from Hassan, where he is district in-charge minister, after attending independence day celebrations.
The businessman protested the assault and contended that if it's a crime to overtake minister's car, then they are free to lodge complaint with a police, a stand which irked Bachegowda, who took the family to a local police station and lodged the complaint.
The minister also allegedly used foul language, the report had said.
Yeddyurappa said he would summon Bachegowda and seek explanation.
