Pepper spray a 'dangerous weapon', says Karnataka HC

IndiaTimes Monday, 6 May 2024 ()
The petitioners were accused of attacking Randeep Das, a security guard employed by CKC & Sons showroom at Shivajinagar in Bengaluru, and some labourers working on their compound wall on April 29, 2023. Both sides indulged in verbal and physical fights, during which Vidya allegedly used pepper spray. Rejecting the right to private defence invoked by the petitioners, Justice Nagaprasanna, citing a Supreme Court ruling, said Vidya could not have used pepper spray "as prima facie, there was no imminent threat or danger to her life".
