Bengaluru, Oct 20: Gangster-turned-social worker N Muthappa Rai, who sought to intimidate his rivals with a display of lethal weapons during recent Ayudha Puja is in the dock as the Organised Crime Wing of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) has issued a notice directing him to appear before officials.

Rai, who recently took over as president of the Karnataka Athletics Association had posted a video on social media performing a puja in front of a cache of arms and weapons. This was done on the occasion of Ayudha Puja on Thursday.

Mr. Rai, who also heads the non-profit organisation Jaya Karnataka, was seen in the video with long guns and machetes. The video went viral on social media.

The Assistant Commissioner of Police of the Organised Crime Wing issued the notice to Mr. Rai on Friday, seeking an explanation and the documents needed to own theweapons.

“We have issued a notice to the person concerned asking why action cannot be taken against him for the display of weapons,” said Alok Kumar, Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime).

Another senior police officer suggested that the motive behind the display of the weapons would be to induce fear in the general public and that such an act is punishable under the Arms Act.

Bengaluru Jul 29: There will be a centralised system in place in Karnataka to classify asymptomatic, symptomatic and mild symptomatic persons and recommend treatment based on the severity of the cases, said Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Tuesday here.

"Various existing apps related to COVID-19 will be brought under one platform to get real-time information which will assist in strategising allocation of hospitals/beds to the needy. This will probably remove the delay in bed allocation and treatment which is being faced now. The patients will get all information in one phone call," Dr Sudhakar said.

Sudhakar spoke with a team of experts from the government and Infosys.

Referring to a company by name Step 1, which is providing such services in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, the Minister said that a similar system will be implemented in the state as well.

"This company is having a team of doctors and nurses which is guiding the people whether they need hospital treatment or home isolation after they are tested positive for COVID-19. More than 70 per cent of the positive cases are being asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and are advised to go for home isolation," the minister said.

"The load on the hospitals is reduced and severe cases can be administered proper treatment. Infosys co-ordinates with the government to provide technical support for this system," Dr Sudhakar added.

Earlier during the day, the minister held a video conference with the heads of private medical colleges to review COVID preparedness.
The government has already passed guidelines to allocate 50 per cent of hospital beds for COVID patients.
