Bengaluru, Feb 8: A rowdy-sheeter, who is also the husband of a BJP corporator in Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike, was hacked to death in broad daylight on Wednesday, February 7 in the state capital.

The victim is Kadiresh S (47), husband of BJP corporator Rekha R (Chalavadipalya ward in Chamarajpet). He was killed by a gang of four near Muneshwara Temple in Chalavadipalya. Kadiresh S was facing several cases, said the police.

He was attacked while he was preparing for Shivarathri celebrations at Muneshwara Temple in Anjanappa Garden, ward no. 138 in Chalavadipalya in Chamarajpet Assembly Constituency.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) M N Anucheth said the incident happened around 3.45 pm and an old rivalry is said to be the reason behind the hacking.

"The assailants attacked Kadiresh from behind with machetes and daggers and fled the spot,'' the DCP said. The victim sustained several stab injuries.

A few members of his family, including brother Dileep, brother-in-law Appu and Suresh, rushed Kadiresh to Victoria Hospital where he later succumbed to injuries, said Anucheth.

Kadiresh's brother Dileep said Kadiresh was supervising the cleaning of the temple premises for the coming Shivarathri festival on February 13. "We were working nearby. Suddenly, a few neighbours alerted us about the attack. We rushed to the spot and saw him lying in a pool of blood and shifted him to the hospital."

His body was then shifted to a morgue and the postmortem examination was conducted the same day, the officer said.

Local residents said a group of youths used to frequent Anjanappa Garden to smoke marijuana. Kadiresh had warned and beaten them for smoking near the temple, said local residents. The police are also probing this angle.

The victim's brother Suresh lodged a complaint with the Cottonpet police. He named two of the four attackers as Vinay and Naveen. Both are residents of Chalavadipalya.

The police have formed four teams, one led by an ACP and three teams led by police inspectors, who have launched a manhunt for the suspects.

Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy told reporters, "I knew both the corporator and her husband in person and were in touch with each other regularly. He had never expressed any threat to his life. If he had, we could have given him police protection."

Kalaburagi, May 16: Former Karnataka Minister Dr Sharanprakash Patil, who was booked for violating COVID-19 imposed lockdown guidelines said on Friday that it was "politically motivated".

"It's politically motivated, the officer who filed the case was forced by MLA or some other people. As elected representatives, we're going in the constituencies, listening to people as they're apprehensive about the return of migrants. We had not conducted any meeting. Wherever we have gone we have followed social distancing," Patil said.

Patil said, "When I had gone there people came to discuss about a local problem and I was talking to an official concerned. In the meantime, some officer gave a complaint that we have violated the lockdown or something."

"They are trying to curb the voice of opposition because there are a lot of lacunae. We hear complaints about quarantine centres that there is no proper facility for food, or stay, or bathrooms," the Congress leader said.

The FIR was registered on Thursday against 23 persons, including the former MLA and 21 local Congress leaders, under Section 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by a public servant) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Congress leader Patil and his followers had conducted a meeting at a convention hall in Sulpeth town on May 13, following which sectoral magistrate Muneer Ahmed lodged a complaint.

Mangaluru, Jan 16: A protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act, National Register of Citizens and National Population Register organised by the Muslim Central Committee of the Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts near Adiyar on Wednesday signalled a snowballing opposition to the measures.

Harsh Mander, former Indian Administrative Service officer-turned-social activist, asserted that the nation’s fight against 'fascist' forces including Bharatiya Janata Party and its parent organisation Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh began over 100 years ago when Mahatma Gandhi returned from South Africa and led the freedom movement against the British.

In his address, Mr Mander asserted that the fight against CAA and NRC is also a campaign to save the secular fabric of the nation. He added that the fight began over a century ago when Hindu Mahasabha and other organisations popped up with their vision to turn the nation into a Hindu country.4
