Bengaluru, Aug 2: A mere 72 hours after cancelling all nominations to boards, corporations and academies made by the previous government, chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Thursday effected a major reshuffle of IPS officers, shunting out two Vokkaliga officers seen to be close to his predecessor HD Kumaraswamy.

BR Ravikanthe Gowda, who was seen as a trusted lieutenant of Kumaraswamy, has been shunted out of his position as joint commissioner (crime), Bengaluru. Sandeep Pa til, commissioner of police, Mangaluru City, will take his place. Gowda, who is yet to be given a posting, will be confined to the special investigation team probing the IMA scam for now. Yediyurappa has also moved out D Devaraja from his position as DCP (Central), Bengaluru. Devaraja, also seen to be close to Kumaraswamy, has been transferred out without a posting.

Kamal Pant, 1990 batch IPS officer who was previously additional director general, law and order, Bengaluru, has been brought in to head the state intelligence wing. Pant will replace B Dayanand, who has been transferred to Karnataka State Reserve Police. The 1989 batch officer Amar Kumar Pandey, ADGP, Karnataka Human Rights Commission, has been posted as ADGP, law and order, Bengaluru.

Hemant Nimbalkar, who was recently posted to the Anti-Corruption Bureau, has again been transferred, but without a posting. Nimbalkar’s MLA wife Anjali, is believed to be one of those who had been courted by the BJP to join the rebellion in Congress ranks. Chandra Shekhar, inspector general, crime investigation department (CID), will now head the ACB.

Other transfers: A Subramayeswara Rao (commissioner, Mangaluru), Chethan Singh Rathore (deputy commissioner, central division, Bengaluru), Anoop Shetty (SP, Ramanagara), KM Shantharaju (Shivamogga SP) and Hanumantharayappa (Davanagere SP).

Bantwal, Jun 26: A day after expressing gratitude for the overwhelming response from students for the SSLC examinations, Karnataka Minister for Primary and Secondary Education S Suresh Kumar on Friday took to Twitter to laud a student who didn’t let his physical hurdles deter him from writing the examination.

Sharing image of the student, Kaushik, who wrote the SSLC examination at Bantwal’s SVS High School, the Minister said that he was taken aback by the boy’s spirit for writing the exam independently without relying on anyone’s help. Such individuals give new meaning to life. Others should learn from this.

In the picture, Kaushik is seen seated on the floor and using his toes to write answers.

Hubli, Feb 24: Pro-Pakistan slogans were found written on the walls and doors of Higher Primary School in Budarsingi village here on Monday, said Raman Gouda Hatti, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), DCRB, Dharwad.

"The headmaster of the school noticed the slogans written on the walls and doors by chalk and he informed us. We will investigate the matter based on the complaint," said DSP Hatti.

The slogans were written in the Kannada language. Those behind the incident have not been identified so far.

The villagers staged a protest demanding action against those behind the act.

Congress leader HK Patil condemned the incident and asked for culprits to be identified and punished soon.

"Anti-social elements are involved in these acts. The government has failed to identify these people and punish them. The culprits behind this act need to be identified and punished. This incident is unfortunate and the intelligence department should work to stop these kinds of incidents," said Patil.
