Bengaluru, Jul 19: The BJP today slammed the Karnataka government over the transfer of DIG (Prisons) D Roopa after she brought to light the alleged special treatment meted out to AIADMK (Amma) leader V K Sasikala in the central jail here.yeddi44

The party's state unit staged a protest here against the transfer and accused the state government of favouring corrupt officials.

BJP's state unit chief B S Yeddyurappa accused the government of siding with corrupt jail officials by shunting out an "honest and upright" officer who had exposed alleged irregularities at the Parapana Agrahara central jail here.

"By transferring an honest and upright police official (Roopa)... the Siddaramaiah government has sided with corrupt jail officials. It is clear, and people should understand it," Yeddyurappa told reporters.

He demanded that Roopa should be reinstated with immediate effect.

The government had on Monday transferred Roopa and asked DGP (Prisons) H N Sathyanarayana Rao to go on compulsory leave after they sparred over a report on the allegations in public.

In her report, Roopa had alleged that Rs 2 crore had exchanged hands to provide special facilities to Sasikala and dragged Rao into the bribery charge, saying there was a "talk" that he was also a beneficiary.

The report and her transfer have raised a political storm in the state.

Yeddyurappa said there was no room for honest officers like Roopa in Siddaramaiah's government.He urged the government to take action against guilty police officials involved in jail irregularities.

Addressing BJP protesters earlier, he highlighted the government's "failure" to arrest killers of RSS activist SharathMadiwala in Dakshina Kannada district.

Former Deputy Chief Minister R Ashok demanded protection for honest officers.

Mysuru, Feb 14: Two weeks after her engagement with another boy, a 20-year-old girl who was in love with a boy, committed suicide at her residence in Nanjangud on Wednesday.

Meghana's parents have accused her lover Manikanta of Hemmargala of abetting her suicide. The girl's father in his complaint has claimed that Manikanta threatened to send their photos to her fiance following which she took the extreme step. He has also claimed his daughter was molested by Manikanta two years ago.

Manikanta who is on the run has been booked for rape and abetting suicide following the complaint.

Since the girl was from the SC community, cops have also slapped cases under Atrocities (Prevention) Act against Manikanta. Nanjangud sub-division DSP Prabhkar Rao Shinde will investigate the case as charges have been made under provisions of the act.

Bengaluru, April 2: At least three people have been arrested by police in connection with the attack on ASHA worker Krishnaveni in Bengaluru's Byatarayanapura area.

Earlier in the day, Bengaluru Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao said that an investigation was initiated into the incident in which ASHA workers were attacked.

"I have appointed Pulikeshi Nagar ACP, Tabarak Fathima, to investigate the matter. A case will be registered and action will be taken. ASHA workers will be protected by the police to carry out their functions," Rao told ANI here.

Earlier, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister CN Ashwath Narayan visited one of the ASHA workers who was allegedly attacked by unidentified miscreants and termed the incident as "completely demoralising" for the workers.

ASHA workers, who were deployed to spread awareness about coronavirus and identify suspected cases, were allegedly attacked by a group of locals in Byatarayanapura here on Wednesday.

The workers said that the locals did not allow them to work and around 100 people gathered at the spot and harassed them.

This comes as the country is under a 21-day lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
