Hassan, Jan 19: In an apparent case of reckless riding, a local leader of Bajrang Dal died after falling off his two-wheeler near Arsikere on Wednesday night. While the police call it an accident, the Hindutva outfits have raised suspicion it was a murder.

According to sources, Sunil (28), Bajrang Dal district co-convenor, was returning from Guthinakere jathre on his motorbike, when he lost balance and met with an accident around 11.45 pm.

He is believed to have lost control of the two-wheeler due to over-speeding. He fell with the vehicle and sustained serious injuries to his left shoulder and head. He bled to death due to serious head injuries, said the police.

“Preliminary analysis of the scene suggests that he died in an accident. The damage caused to the two-wheeler and the injuries on his body suggest this,” said an Arsikere police source. Deputy Superintendent of Police Sadanand Tippannavar and Circle Police Inspector Siddarameshwar visited the spot.

However, the saffron activists and relatives of Sunil have alleged that it was a murder. They claimed that Sunil was actively involved in Bajrang Dal activities and was murdered as a result.

His father Ranganath, a former member of the Arsikere City Municipal Council, has filed a complaint with the Arsikere Rural Police. On his demand, the police shifted the body to Hassan, where the autopsy was done. The police also permitted the RSS workers to keep the body for public viewing at their office.

A case has been registered on charges of rash driving causing hurt or injury (Section 279 of the IPC) and causing death by negligence (304 A).

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit. 

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies. 

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry. 

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.

Timings of the night curfew have also been revised to 8 PM - 5 AM from the earlier 9 PM - 5 AM. “We have decided to impose a curfew starting Monday, June 29, from 8 pm to 5 am every day. Right now, the curfew timing is 9 pm to 5 am, but it’ll be advanced by an hour to 8 pm,” said Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai

Commissioner of Bengaluru's civic body, BBMP has been directed to set up more wholesale vegetable markets to deter large crowds.

Meanwhile, government offices in Karnataka will open only five days a week and the weekend will be off for government employees.
