Yesterday, Nalapad, a Congress leader himself, was expelled from the party for 6 years. He was serving as Bengaluru District Youth Congress General Secretary.
Police said Nalapad and his 10 friends beat up the man at a restaurant in UB City late Saturday night after they felt offended over him extending his feet, cast in plaster, towards the table they were sitting at.
The man, identified as Vidwat, has been hospitalised, police said.
Nalapad, General Secretary of Bengaluru District Youth Congress, is the son of Shantinagar MLA N A Haris.

The MLA described the incident as unfortunate.
"I met the victim and his family. I don't know where he (Nalapad) is. His phone is switched off. Let the law take its course," Harris said.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah tweeted that offenders should be punished to the "full extent of law".
"Offenders should be punished to the full extent of law regardless of who they are. No less, no more. @CPBlr will take action as per law and bring the guilty to book," he said.
