Former Karnataka Chief Minister Kumaraswamy's son's marriage kickstarted a huge controversy on how come permission can be given when the lockdown was imposed across India amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

Young Kannada hero and Kumaraswamy's son Nikhil Gowda's marriage happened with Revathi at a farmhouse in the Ramnagar district in Karnataka. This has resulted in a huge controversy over the violation of the lockdown rules.

Following this, Karnataka Deputy CM C.N. Ashwath Narayan has requested a report on this issue, hours after the marriage event happened. He has also directed the Deputy Commissioner and Superintendent of Police to look into this.

"Permission was given for the wedding but with guidelines to maintain social distancing and wearing of face masks by all those attending the ceremony. If there is a violation, action will be taken," Deputy CM said.

"About 100 people attended the ceremony conducted according to Hindu rites by priests in the presence of the couple''s parents, other family members and relatives," Kumaraswamy's spokesperson said.
