His actions, as noted, led to a breach of peace and a distortion of communal concord. Spanning back to 2013, Kerehalli’s record reveals a total of 10 registered cases against him, with the current year accounting for two alone, underscoring the persistence of his alleged disruptive conduct. Hailing from Hassan, Kerehalli has made Bengaluru his residence for a considerable span of time, which adds a layer of complexity to the legal proceedings he now faces.
