71. Acid attack in Bengaluru airport

Slipper and Acid egg thrown at His Divine Holiness outside Bengaluru Airport

As His Divine Holiness was dragged and pushed towards the police vehicle, several sharp objects, shards of glass and a foot slipper was thrown at Him. A lethal acid egg was flung on His Divine Holiness just as He was about to get inside the vehicle. When He moved the car door and lowered His head to get inside, the egg bounced off the door and fell to the ground, breaking and spreading its poisonous contents on the road. The media showed the slipper being hurled but suppressed the acid-egg attack. It went without publicity and without justice.

His Divine Holiness was taken into direct judicial (CID) custody for the first 8 days in the pretext of investigation.
