Udupi, May 2: Bharatiya Janata Party had called chief minister an anti-Hindu for not paying a visit to Sri Krishna Temple during his recent Udupi to Udupi. Ironically, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who visited the town on May 1 too refused to visit the temple in spite of invitation.

Vidyadheesha Tirtha Swami of Paryaya Palimar Mutt has expressed his disappointment over PM Modi not visiting the historic temple.

“I had expectations that Prime Minister might come. I had invited both Mr Modi and Mr Siddaramaiah to visit the Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple,” he said.

Meanwhile, Vishwesha Tirtha Swami of Pejawar Mutt said that he too had written to Mr. Modi, inviting him to the temple.

In a press release issued here, the district unit of the Congress questioned why Mr. Modi did not visit the temple, especially when the BJP had made a big issue of Mr. Siddaramaiah not visiting it.

Bengaluru, Jun 18: The Karnataka police has arrested a German national wanted for kidnapping and causing bodily harm to a person in his home country, an official said on Wednesday. The person was also found to be overstaying on an expired visa, which police said that it appeared that the visa had been tampered with to look more current.

"On receipt of credible information by the CID Interpol Division officers, the Red Corner Notice subject, the German national Alexander Bruno Wehnelt, was traced at Hulimangala village," a police official told media persons.

Hulimangala is on the outskirts of Bengaluru city.

Alexander, 55, escaped from Germany and took shelter in Bengaluru.

The Interpol Division of CBI NCB (Central Bureau of Intelligence, Narcotics Control Bureau) in New Delhi had communicated to the Interpol liaison officer in Karnataka's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) about Alexander, directing extensive search measures to trace the criminal at large.

The Narcotics Control Bureau of Wiesbaden in Germany was on the hunt for Wehnelt for the crimes he committed in 2015, and have finally found him five years later.

"A special team of officers was constituted by the CID - Interpol division under the supervision of ADGP (Additional Director General of Police) B. Dayananda and the Interpol liaison officer and efforts were made to trace the subject," said the official.

On Monday, the police received credible information leading to his arrest.

"It was learnt that his visa had expired in 2016 and he tried to show a visa which was issued in December 2019 which had expired on Saturday, June 13," said the official.

Prima facie, it appeared that Alexander had tampered with his visa and the police are probing on that front as well.

He was handed over to Hebbagodi Police Station in Bengaluru Urban, for his overstay and a criminal case has been registered against him, under the Foreigners Act.
