Bengaluru, May 19: Shanthinagar legislator N A Haris's son, Mohammed Haris Nalapad, and his friends ferociously assaulted Vidwath L with a knuckle ring, ice buckets, beer bottles, etc at Farzi Cafe, UB City, the victim said in a statement to the police.

Police have attached Vidwath's statement to the charge sheet.

According to Vidwath, he and four friends had gone to the cafe for dinner around 8 pm on February 17. Around 10.30 pm, when they were about to leave, Nalapad's (he didn't know him then) leg brushed against his fractured leg. He told Nalapad: "Brother, kindly watch out and move around." Nalapad suddenly raised his voice and shot back: "You know who I am. I am local MLA N A Haris's son. Who are you to tell me bloody bas***rd? I am Nalapad Haris, you are not at all equal to my shoe. You say sorry and kiss my feet, bloody as*h*le."

Vidwath responded: "No…! Why should I say sorry? You only hit my leg, I got pain."

Nalapad asked his friends to teach Vidwath a lesson and then went on to slap Vidwath a few times. "His 10-15 associates joined in the assault and caused me grievous injuries. I was pushed on the floor and they started kicking me. Nalapad said: 'I will show you who I am. if you don't hold my leg and kiss my feet and if you don't say sorry, then I will kill you here only'."

Vidwath added: "To get away from them, I stood up and pushed Nalapad. But he and his associates threw ice buckets, beer bottles and other things at me. One of them punched me with the knuckle ring in the face, ribs and other parts. I was bleeding and fell to the ground but they kept kicking me and did not spare me."

Nalapad kept egging his friends on. "'Don't leave him alive, finish him, just kill him.' My friends and bouncers at Farzi Café requested Nalapad to spare me but he asked them to go away."

Vidwath's friend Kiran and bouncers tried to get him out of the café but Nalapad's associates wouldn't leave him. They brought Vidwath back to the café and kept assaulting him, according to the statement.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: The Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the murder case of journalist-activist Gauri, arrested absconding suspect Rushikesh Devdikar alias Murali (44) from Dhanbad district in Jharkhand on Thursday evening and is bringing him to the city.

Rushikesh is the 18th suspect arrested in the case, Chief Investigating Officer M N Anucheth said. The investigation has revealed that he was primarily involved in the conspiracy to murder Gauri.

Rushikesh, who was hiding in a house in Katras, Dhanbad, will be produced before the local Judicial Magistrate in Dhanbad on Friday, said Anucheth, adding that the SIT had searched his house for clues. "We will obtain a transit warrant from the court and then bring him to Bengaluru," the officer said.

Originally from Aurangabad in Maharashtra, Rushikesh's family still lives there.

Gauri Lankesh was shot dead near her residence at around 8.20 pm on September 5, 2017, by two bike-borne men.

Bengaluru, Jun 16: Continuing easing of restrictions under 'unlock-1,' the Karnataka government has allowed shooting and production of films and television programmes in the state.

In a clarification, Principal Secretary Revenue N Manjunath Prasad said, shooting and production of all films and television programmes that were stopped in between due to lockdown can be allowed.

It is also allowed to continue with the post-production activities of film and television programmes after completing the shooting, it said.

The permission is conditional as it is subjected to adhering of the national directives issued in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, and standard operating procedures prescribed by the Department of Information and Public Relations.

The clarification said permission can be given as film and television shooting and production activities are not banned under guidelines issued by the centre and the state government recently.
