Bengaluru, Aug 19: the Karnataka High Court has granted stay on the investigation into the FIR filed against five Hindutva leaders accused of creating riots in Bantwal in Dakshina Kannada district during funeral procession of RSS worker Sharath Madiwala.

Justice Aravind Kumar granted stay on the FIR registered against  Satyajit Surathkal, BJP backward class morcha state secretary, Sharan Pumpwell, Bajarang Dal state convener, Pradeep Pumpwell, Bajrang Dal leader, Harish Poonja, president of Dakshina Kannada district unit of BJP Yuva Morcha, Muralikrishna Hasantadka, Dakshina Pranta Goraksha Pramukh

All of them were accused of conspiring in the stone throwing during the procession on July 8.

The judge granted stay after watching the video footage recorded by the police during the funeral procession of Sharath. Justice Kumar said that he did not find any evidence in the video to book an FIR against the accused.

The five accused have moved the court seeking quashing of the FIR filed against them for participating in and creating problems during the funeral procession, despite prohibitory orders being in force.

The judge directed the prosecutors to submit all the records of the case and adjourned the hearing to August 22.

Mysuru, Feb 21: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa said Amulya Leona, who raised pro-Pakistan slogans, had links with Naxalites.

Yediyurappa said that Amulya's links with Naxalites have been proved in an investigation. "She must be punished and action will be taken against the people behind it," he said.

"Bail should not be given to Amulya. Her father has also said he won't protect her. Its proved now that she had contacts with Naxals. Proper punishment should be given," he added.

While speaking to reporters at Mysuru Airport, the chief minister said unless actions are taken against the organisations who provoke them to make such comments, it is not possible to control them.

Yediyurappa suspects that the incident was a conspiracy to disturb peace and harmony in the state.

Minister B C Patil said that such incidents should not repeat. "It appears that youths are misused for such anti-national activities, he said.

Unnao, Feb 26: Ever heard of someone wishing a 'bright future' for the dead? In a bizarre incident in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao district, a village head issued a death certificate with the wish for an elderly man who had died last month.

The incident took place in the Sirwariya village in Asoha block where an elderly person Laxmi Shankar died after a prolonged illness on January 22.

His son went to the village head Babulal and requested him to issue a death certificate that he needed for some financial transactions.

Babulal not only issued the death certificate, but also 'wished' 'a bright future for the deceased' on the document.

The village head wrote in the death certificate -- "Main inke ujjwal bhavishya ki kaamna karta hoon (I wish him a bright future)."

The letter went viral on the social media on Monday after which the village head apologised for the error and issued a new death certificate.
