The Jaya Karnataka Association was set up to protect the land and language (Kannada) of the southern state by Rai, who renounced crime and turned to business.

'We have rushed a police team to evict the unruly members from the parlour. We will arrest the accused once the Zakir Hussain Association files a formal complaint in the jurisdictional police station on the incident,' Prakash said.

Incidentally, the association obtained an order from the Karnataka High Court against the closure of the parlour and protection from unauthorised entry into the premises.
