Senior officers from the police and army visited the spot and hospital and discussed the incident in detail. The police have decided to furnish a copy of the investigation report to the army higher-ups for action from their end. The police have also decided to enclose video footage of the attack on the cops on duty, said the police.

The incident took place when Krishnamurthy and Sudheendra were on duty at BRV junction around 5.30 pm. Krishnamurthy noticed two men riding a bike on the one-way road. He stopped them and asked them to pay fine of Rs 100. K P Singh, the pillion rider, who was drunk, paid the fine and went away along with the rider, said the police.

Within minutes, Singh and a group of around 25 armymen returned and began an argument with Krishnamurthy for peanalising an armyman. In the melee, Singh slapped Krishnamurthy who sent a wireless message seeking assistance. Cops rushed to the spot, bundled up Singh in Hoysala vehicle and took him to the Commercial Street police station, said the police. Other armymen went back only to return with more men and assault Sudheendra. Upon receiving the information, senior police officers rushed to the spot and dispersed the armymen. They also informed the army higher-ups who rushed to the spot.

One of the armymen was a commissioned officer, but he did not stop others from assaulting a cop on duty. The army higher-ups have assured action from their end for attacking a public servant on duty. A case has been registered with Commercial Street police.

Bengaluru, Mar 3: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Monday introduced the Karnataka Municipalities and Certain Other Law (Amendment) Bill, 2020, in the assembly to give voters the opportunity to reject candidates in civic polls.

The bill, if passed, will enable election officials to offer the NOTA option in the elections to municipal corporations on the lines of assembly and Lok Sabha polls.

An amendment bill which seeks to enable the government to set up a separate university for the districts of Raichur and Yadgir was also tabled. The government said the workload of Gulbarga University necessitated creation of a separate university for the two districts, a move that will also help reduce regional imbalance in Kalyana Karnataka region.

Another amendment bill seeks to allow industrial units, which have failed to start operations on allotted land after seven years, to sell off the parcels to another unit. Bills which empower authorised agencies to regulate turf clubs and horse racing and regulate salary and pension of teachers in higher education institutions were also introduced in the assembly on Monday.

Bengaluru, May 18: Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Mallikarjuna Kharge on Monday slammed the State Government’s decision to appoint administrative committees to Panchayats, which completes their five-year term, shortly.

Speaking to media persons, the Congress leader described the State Government’s decision on appointing committees as a ‘death knell ‘ to the basic characters of the Panchayat bodies, which were elected on a non-party basis.

Strongly recommending the BJP-led government to desist from its decision, Kharge urged Chief minister B S Yediyurappa to extend the term of the elected bodies of the Panchayats by six months.
