Bengaluru, May 31: Armed with a search warrant the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) might raid the houses of friends and relatives of Congress leader DK Shivakumar in connection with the demonetised currency notes case, agency sources said.

Meanwhile, Shivakumar on Thursday held an emergency press conference at his Bengaluru residence and said that the BJP is indulging in vendetta politics. He said that the CBI is going to raid 11 Congress MLAs including him.

“There is no question of bowing under any pressure. These politically motivated raids and the warrants have come from agencies that come under BJP's control,” he alleged.

Stating that this will not stop them from doing our party work, "We will always abide by the law of the land."

Shivakumar was as a key figure in keeping the party MLAs together before the trust vote of BJP's Yeddyurappa government.

The development comes amid hectic parleys between both Congress and JD(S) on cabinet expansion and portfolio allocation since Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy proved majority on the floor of the assembly on May 25, two days after his swearing-in on May 23.

According to report, the two parties have not been able to arrive at a consensus on the allocation of key portfolios, most importantly Finance, which both Congress and JD(S) want in their kitty.

However, to a question about reports that he was demanding power portfolio, Shivakumar termed it "false news." Refuting reports about a tussle between him and JD(S)' HD Revanna, son of former prime minister HD Deve Gowda, for the power ministry, he said, "no such demands or discussions, our party and that party (JDS) leaders will sit together and decide."

Bengaluru, Mar 2: Killing an Indian porcupine and inviting his TikTok followers to view it proved costly for a 25-year-old man from Kalaburagi. Forest department officials tracked him down and arrested him on Sunday morning.

Manjunath Biryalhissa, a resident of Jewargi taluk, was famous for his various TikTok videos and for lifting heavy stones in his village and neighbouring areas.

According to forest officials, on Friday, Manjunath and his friends caught a porcupine in Sindagi range, Vijayapura and stoned it to death. Later, they fried and cooked it. Manjunath then made an 18-second video, where he spoke about the porcupine hunt and slaughter, besides inviting his followers to like the video and join him in the feast.

The video was on TikTok and Facebook. Wildlife activists who found the video alerted forest department officials.

“Porcupine comes under schedule four of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Keeping this video as evidence we were able to trace him through his Facebook account, where he had shared details of his hometown,” said forest officials.
