Bengaluru, Mar 23: Venkatesh Prasanna, the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Central Crime Branch, Bengaluru was on Tuesday briefly detained along with his team by Tamil Nadu police, who allegedly mistook them to be a gang of abductors.

avenkateshThe bizarre incident took place after Mr Prasanna and team arrested two youths— Syed Ali Ansar and Nasir Mustak Pasha, natives of Tiruvallur near Chennai — in connection with the Malleswaram blast case without informing the local police.

It is learnt that when the team of police in plain clothes from Karnataka raided the houses of the suspects, the local residents informed the local police thinking that it was a case of robbery and abduction.

Acting swiftly, a team from Tirunelveli police station rushed to the spot and took Mr Prasanna, his team members and the two detained youths into the custody.

Even though Mr Prasanna tried to convince the local police that he is also a police officer and showed his identity they initially did not believe his version, sources said.

Finally, Mr Prasanna contacted senior police officers in Bengaluru, who then spoke their counterparts in Chennai and facilitated the “release” of Mr Prasanna and team.

The Tamil Nadu police also allowed the Bengaluru cops to take the detained duo along with them for interrogation.

Bengaluru, Mar 12: The Karnataka government on Wednesday clarified that no coronavirus "emergency" has been declared in the state and that all the schools and offices will remain open.

Earlier, there were fake reports that Karnataka has declared "coronavirus as an epidemic" in the state.

In a statement, Karnataka health commissioner Pankaj Kumar Pandey refuted the reports doing rounds on social media which said Karnataka had declared COVID-19 as a "state epidemic".

Refuting the rumours, he added that all the schools, offices and other institutions will continue to function normally in the state.

The Karnataka government earlier today issued temporary regulation which asked all government and private hospitals to have flu corners for screening of suspected cases of COVID-19.

According to the regulation, no person/institution shall use print or electronic media to spread mis-information on COVID-19 without prior permission of the department of health & family welfare. If a person is found indulging in any such activity, they will be punished, it said.

The Karnataka government also started a campaign called 'Namaste over Handshake' that encourages people to greet in the traditional Indian style, to tackle the spread of the virus.

The state has reported four positive cases of coronavirus so far.

India, so far, has 60 confirmed cases of coronavirus, including 16 Italians tourists.
