Mysuru: The man who climbed the iconic statue of Rajarishi Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar at Krishna Raja (K.R.) Circle told the Police that he believed the statue resembled his grandfather, prompting him to climb onto its shoulders.
“He looked like my grandfather, so I sat on his shoulders,” said 36-year-old Shivamurthy, a resident of Doora in Mysuru taluk, who was arrested by Devaraja Police for his bizarre and disrespectful behaviour.
