According to police, seven dacoits came to Vasudev Asranna's house asking for a medicine to cure skin disease. Asranna family is known for providing ayurveda medicine for skin diseases. The family members told them they don't give medicine as it was late in the night and asked them to come next day.

The gang left the house only to come back after some time. This time, they broke open the door and entered the house. They threatened the family members and fled with valuables.

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.
