Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to take part in the rally. Following a heated argument, the assailants stabbed Santhosh in the thigh and he died at a hospital later.

While the BJP claims that the murder was politically motivated, the JC Nagar Police officers investigating the case say otherwise. Inspector Girish Naik of JC Nagar Police Station said that the murder happened after a drunken brawl between Santhosh and his friends.

According to Girish, there are four accused in the case - Wasim, Phillip, Umar and Irfan. And police managed to arrest Wasim and Phillip a few hours after the incident occurred.

“During interrogation, we received information that the four men were not happy about Santhosh asking them to buy him drinks and smokes. A heated argument began and when things escalated, Santhosh got stabbed. There is no political or communal reasons for Santhos's death. Santhosh and the four men were neighbours and grew up together," Inspector Girish said.

Exactly. They did it in many cases. They used to blame CPIM and Congress.

This is why people telling Alcohol and Cigerette injuries to health, It may Kill You. :P

If BJP claims that it's a political murder, then no need of probe. Because they used to kill their own workers and blame others

Political killings are increasing. People should realise that there is no use for killing and dying for political party.

This is a political killing. Current Karnataka Govt is anti Hindu and killing very patriatic + peace loving RSS activists. Mr. Nalin and Shobakaa should call for karnataka bandh and in case action taken they should go for burning whole state. Govt should award 50 lakhs rupees to deceased family and declare him as National Hero and Martyre. He gave his life for the nation and should be rewarded. There is a wrong allegation that he was drunken. He never drink.

The passion of young Ms Tabassum and Social Working of today, particularly, gives me lot of hope. It almost feels like the political class wants to bring down India while the people are so hard working and committed to nation building.

Congratulation Miss. Way to go.

CONGRATULATIONS.

Mrs.Tabassum's service for humanity is highly commendable.She looks after HIV & AIDS effected children with compassion like mother without expecting anything in returns.

She deserve for more prestigious awards even like "Padma Shri" for her selfless and sincere services for the society and the nation.

All the best.

Karnataka govt transfers BBMP commissioner

News Network

July 18,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 18: Bringing a major change in the administration of Bengaluru, which has emerged as a Covid-19 hotspot, the state government on Saturday transferred B H Anil Kumar out of the BBMP and brought N Manjunath Prasad to take his place.

Manjunath Prasad, who headed the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) before being replaced by Kumar, will take over with immediate effect. The government has also placed him in concurrent charge of the Revenue Department as well as the Disaster Management, Bhoomi and UPOR.

Kumar, an Additional Chief Secretary, has been put in a place where earlier a secretary was posted. He now heads the Department of Public Enterprises. The posting would have brought him two spots down had it not been for the government upgrading it to the level of additional chief secretary.

Anil Kumar, who was earlier praised for his work to contain the coronavirus pandemic, had faced criticism by the High Court of Karnataka for the BBMP's failure to help people in containment zones as well as other issues on the spread of the pandemic.

Sources in the government said, pressure has been building up against Anil Kumar over the last two months after most of the Bengaluru MLAs complained to the chief minister's office.

"No MLA backed him. Everyone had a problem," a source said.

Things came to the head with regard to a Rs 436 crore project given to KRIDL. "The issue reached the chief minister's office as all the MLAs took an issue with the way the project was awarded," a source said.

Another source said that Kumar came under fire after a central team flagged the issue of failing Covid-19 surveillance measures in Bengaluru. The central team's criticism, it is widely believed in the government, came as the last straw.
