Bengaluru, Aug 17: Amidst massive allegations of phone tapping against Bharatiya Janata Party, an MLA from the same party has made a similar allegation against Karnataka chief minister H D Kumaraswamy.

Speaking to reporters here, the Chikkamagaluru MLA said that the CM was using the police to tap the phones of Congress, JD(S) and BJP legislators.

"Kumaraswamy is doing it because he’s insecure," Ravi alleged adding that former has no confidence in legislators amid reports that there are 17 of them who want to resign.

Ravi specifically claimed that the phones of Congress leaders such as Siddaramaiah, D K Shivakumar, M B Patil and BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa had been tapped into. "Everybody’s phone has been tapped," he said, without substantiating the claim.

The former minister chided the Congress-JD(S) coalition government for "ineffective" tackling of the flood situation in coastal and Malnad regions. "My district Chikkamagaluru has broken its 34-year rainfall record. The government is yet to make any serious effort to help those affected by floods. Kumaraswamy is going on pilgrimage, but this isn’t the right time for it," he said.

He also urged the State Election Commission to postpone the urban local body elections in the flood-hit districts.

Mr. Ravi, If you have real pain and tension about your people from chikmagalur, you should act for precaution or should work for safety measurement. You are just blaming others and making false alllegations

Bengaluru, Feb 25: A smooth-talking ‘swamiji’ has come under police radar after a widow lodged a complaint stating he cheated her of over Rs 27 crore and three kgs of gold between 2016 and 2019.

The woman, Geetha of Ramamurthynagar, was staying with her three sons after her husband, a landlord, died in 2009. Her family owned several sites in Tavarekere and other parts of the city, apart from a farm near Bethamangala in Kolar district.

Geetha, who had got into property disputes with her relatives, said she was introduced to the accused, Nagaraj C of Bangarapet, who claimed to possess powers to ward off evil spirits, by one of her farm labourers. “I was assured that all my problems would be solved. He came to my house and claimed he had been sent by god and would find solutions to all my problems,” she stated.

Nagaraj allegedly pretended to be possessed by spirits and directed her to give him gold bars. Geetha ended up giving three kgs of gold in the process. Later, he began directing her to sell a few properties stating these were the root cause of her problems. “I sold many properties and pledged a few residential sites. He took Rs 22.5 crore that came from selling properties, apart from Rs 5 crore cash from my husband’s savings,” she stated.

She said Nagaraj took the money from her on the promise of buying alternative properties. “When I demanded he return all my money, he threatened to kill me and my kids using evil spirits,” she alleged.

Police have registered a case of cheating, criminal conspiracy, criminal intimidation under various IPC sections and Karnataka Prevention and Eradication of Inhuman Evil Practices and Black Magic Bill, 2017, against Nagaraj and others.
