Bengaluru, Feb 19: Mohammed Nalapad, son of Shanthi Nagar MLA NA Haris, surrendered to Cubbon Park police on Monday morning.

The police had registered an FIR against Nalapad for allegedly attacking a Vidvat, a local youth along with his friends after an argument at a pub in UB City Mall on Saturday.

BJP, JDS stage protest

Meanwhile the case took a political turn.  Following Nalapad’s surrender, many from the opposition BJP and JD(S) began protesting outside Cubbon Park police station. The protesters are calling for the police to take serious action against Nalapad.

On Sunday, BJP workers, who staged protests in front of Haris’ house demanded that the police book Mohammed Nalapad under non-bailable sections.

Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy, who visited the hospital, condemned the attack. “The attack on Vidvat is condemnable. I spoke to Mr. Haris to ask his son to surrender and ensure such incident should not be repeated,” he said.

The Congress party on Sunday suspended Nalapad from the party for 6 years. He was the general secretary of the Bengaluru District Youth Congress.

‘Smashed a liquor bottle on his head’

In his statement, Praveen, who was with Vidvat during the brawl, placed the number of assailants at 15, said the Cubbon Park police.

“The friend told us that they pounced on Vidvat and started kicking and punching him, ignoring his cries for help. They first punched his face and smashed a liquor bottle on his head, following which Vidvat fell down and began to apologise,” said a police officer.

Mr. Praveen alleged that the restaurant staff were mute spectators and did not help despite his requests.

It was only when the attackers stopped that Mr. Praveen managed to get Vidvat out of the restaurant to the nearby Mallya Hospital. He was admitted to the ICU.

Mohammed Nalapad and his friends allegedly barged into the hospital ward, threatening and abusing the victim, who by then was unconsciousness, said Mr. Praveen. Vidvat, who finished his MBA from a college in Singapore and had returned to Bengaluru a few weeks ago, is the son of a city businessman, Loknath.

Bengaluru, May 5: After Congress delegation was denied to donate a cheque of Rs one crore to ensure free transportation to migrants, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president DK Shivakumar said that Congress party can go anywhere and help anyone they want and BJP leaders must understand what constitutional rights are.

Earlier on Monday, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister who holds the transport portfolio, Lakshman Savadi suggested the Congress delegation for donating at least Rs 150 crore to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund instead of handing over a cheque of Rs one crore as a donation in order to bear the transportation fare of the migrants.

While reacting to Deputy CM and other BJP leaders' comments, Shivakumar said, "BJP leaders must understand what constitutional rights are. Who are these BJP leaders? They are now entering to help migrant workers after RSS guidelines. They must understand that we are a party and we can go anywhere and help anyone we want."

Congress leaders on Monday met Savadi to handover a cheque of Rs one crore in order to donate money for the migrant workers' transportation.

However, Savadi did not accept the cheque and suggested the Congress delegation to donate a bigger amount to the CM Relief Fund.

While addressing media after meeting the Congress leaders' delegation in the leadership of KPCC president, DK Shivakumar, Savadi said: "Congress has a history and its a wealthy party, still if Congress leaders want to donate, at least they must donate Rs 150 crores to the CM relief fund to fight COVID-19."

DK Shivakumar yesterday slammed the government and urged to depute free transport services to migrant workers, he asserted that Congress will donate money in this regard.

But the Managing Director of KSRTC denied to accept the cheque of Rs one crore and suggested the Congress delegation to meet transport minister or Chief Minister and donate to CM relief funds. Hence, today congress leaders met deputy CM Lakshman Savadi and tried to handover Rs one crore cheque which he did not accept.

After Congress leaders slammed the government and people criticised the decision of collecting bus fares, CM BS Yediyurappa ordered for free transport service to migrant workers.

Mysuru, Mar 18: Even though the migration season is coming to end and the winged visitors are set to fly back, the water bodies where most birds nest and breed are under close surveillance with the report about spread of bird flu in Mysuru as unusual death of birds can be a cause for worry and hence the authorities are on high alert.

At Karanji Lake, the birds are watched in detail twice – morning and evening. If any sick bird or dead bird is noticed, the Zoo Vets are alerted. So far, no such birds had been sighted. The surveillance data is maintained every day. Intensive surveillance and passive surveillance is done.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: BJP leader CP Yogeshwar has slammed Yediyurappa supporters and said the JDS leader HD Kumaraswamy is supporting BJP.

Speaking to the reporters, Yogeshwar said, "Congress president DK Shivakumar and Janata Dal (Secular) leader and former CM HD Kumaraswamy, both are Yediyurappa supporters."

"His words seem to support the BJP. All that Kumaraswamy had said, during our government's rule, are happening including the officers they mentioned are being transferred. He has come forward to support BJP from the back door," Yogeshwar.

While reacting to allegations made by CP Yogeshwar, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president DK Shivakumar has said that earlier Yogeshwar requested for State Legislative Council (MLC) member ticket and now such people are blaming me without any evidence. This shows his dishonesty to his party and the kind of person he is."
