A police official said, "Singh was taken into preventive custody near the Ramada resort as he was trying to stage a protest after he was denied entry into it to meet the rebel MLAs."
The hotel has been deployed with heavy security in and around, after the shifting of those MLAs from another resort. Singh had said, "I am a Rajya Sabha candidate I am not allowed to meet the MLAs."
Karnataka Congress chief D.K. Shivakumar received Digvijaya Singh earlier at the airport. Shivakumar said, "the Congress party is united and we have our own political strategy."
