New Delhi, Sept 17: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday met Congress president Sonia Gandhi and is learnt to have updated her on the progress in the investigation into the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh.

Siddaramaiah explained the sequence of events and assured her the probe is moving in the right direction. Emerging out of the meeting, the chief minister said it was just a courtesy call and discussed the political developments in the state.

Soon after Gauri’s murder, Sonia and Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi dialled the chief minister and urged him to act swiftly to bring the culprits to book. He said he had directed the SIT to coordinate with the CBI, the Maharashtra police and the Karnataka CID, which are probing the murders of rationalist Narendra Dabholkar, Govind Pansare and M M Kalburgi respectively.

Dismissing BJP’s allegation of a rise in political killings in Karnataka since the Congress government came to power, the chief minister said no killing should happen whether it is of right or left ideologues.

Later in the day, Siddaramaiah also called on President Ram Nath Kovind.

The chief minister also met Union Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and requested her to hand over defence land for Metro projects and road widening in Bengaluru in exchange for land in Anekal.

Siddaramaiah said the minister assured him the state’s demand will be considered and would also look into the state’s request to conduct an air show during Mysuru Dasara from September 21 to 27.

Mangaluru, June 21: A gang of miscreants intercepted a goods auto-rickshaw which was legally transporting beef from an abattoir to market and attacked its driver in heart of the city this morning. 

The attack comes exactly a week after a gang of Bajrang Dal miscreants thrashed a cattle trader at Urwa while legally transporting four buffalos to Kudroli abattoir on June 13.

Today, a person identified as Abdul Rasheed was transporting around 200 kilograms of beef from Kudroli abattoir to Kankanady market.

Meanwhile, miscreants began to chase beef laden vehicle and managed to waylay it near Highland Hospital. They thrashed Abdul Rasheed and poured kerosene on the beef besides damaging the vehicle. 

The miscreants fled in their car and motorbikes after passersby began to gather.

Dear DC Dr. Harsha, we want to know if you will take strict action on these anti nationals / rowdis / day robbers / terrorists who ransacked auto + beaten the auto driwer and stolen Rs. 10,000 from him though he was legally transporting the meat.   They same terrorists are involved in transporting live animals to beef export houses in Gujrat owned by Brahmins / Jains.   Will you be loyal to your duty and promise.   We will see how you will handle the issue failing which you will lose our respect and we will consider you as a dramabaz and phenku.   You should follow the law and treat everyone equally.  There should not be any pity on goondas/ terrorists belonging to sangh parivar.   The terrorists who thrashed the auto driver and damaged the auto and burnt the meat by pouring kerosene are not human beings and should be treated as anti nationals + terrorists.    We hope you will discharge your duty as per the oath taken by you while accepting your post.
