Bengaluru, May 19: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa-led Karnataka government has recommended the withdrawal of 46 cases against leaders belonging to Sangh Parivar who had apparently involved in violence during the birth anniversary celebration of Tipu Sultan in the state.
These cases – ranging from very serious forms of assaults on Muslims to unlawful assembly – were registered across Karnataka between 2014 and 2018.
Among the cases recommended to be withdrawn include those registered against senior state BJP leader Sanjay Patil, VHP leader Swaroop Kalkundri, and several district level Bajrang Dal activists.
The government recommended withdrawal of these cases under Section 321 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on March 5.
The recommendations, however, have been opposed by three crucial law enforcement departments – Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG & IGP), Director-Department of prosecution and Government litigation and Law department.
While the DG & IGP has opined that these cases “cannot be withdrawn”, both the department of prosecution and law have observed that these are “not a fit case to withdraw”.

You are right
i think half of the Sampaje village comes under Sullia and half under Madikeri taluk. Am not 100% sure. CD team must clarify.
Sampaje situated at Sullya taluk of Dakshina Kannada, Madikeri is part of Coorg District. Please be careful while reporting.
