Kavitha Reddy issues apology for 'moral policing' Kannada actor Samyuktha Hegde at Bengaluru Park

Congress leader Kavitha Reddy who had allegedly attacked actress Samyuktha Hegde on 4 September at Bengaluru Park has issued an unconditional apology on late Sunday, 6 September. “I have always opposed moral policing. I realize that my actions were construed as such. An argument ended up in me reacting aggressively as well, it was a mistake,” Reddy said in a tweet. Sharing a lettered apology, Reddy said she regretted her social media posts about the incident and hence taken them from her account. “I hope that we can put this incident behind us and work towards a safer and better future for women,” she further wrote.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

Hegde on Saturday, 5 September, said she and her friends were abused and attacked by Congress leader Kavitha Reddy while they were working out in a park in Bengaluru reportedly because of the clothes they were wearing. A mob, which Hegde says was instigated by Reddy, accused the Comali actor of “indecency” in public for wearing workout clothes. Some also threatened to link Hegde’s name along with the drug racket controversy that’s currently sweeping over the Kannada film industry, reports  The Hindu. According to the Bangalore Mirror, an FIR was registered against Reddy at the HSR Layout police station on Sunday.
