Mangaluru, Sep 4: Within an hour after Vittla police in Bantwal taluk rescued a kidnapped businessman and arrested two suspects, dozens of villagers staged a protest demanding the arrest of the victim accusing him of lending money at exorbitant rate of interest.

crimeKishori, a resident of Vittla, reported the kidnapping of her husband Anand (40) from a temple in Shivamogga on August 30.

She told the police of receiving call from the kidnappers seeking ransom of Rs. 8 lakh. A police team traced the accused and rescued Anand from a house in Chokkabettu in Surathkal on Friday. The police arrested Ganesh and Rajesh, both 35.

Then, the police found that Anand was allegedly involved in illegally lending money to people in the locality.

When he was brought to Vitla police station, nearly 60 residents came and complained of Anand collecting money from people by promising to double the investment in one year.

Superintendent of Police Bhushan Gulabrao Borase said the police have registered the complaint under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code.

Anand has also been accused of under provisions of Karnataka Money Laundering Act 1961 and Karnataka Prevention of Charing Exorbitant Interest Act 2004. “We are going deep into his transactions,” he said.

Bantwal, Jun 26: A day after expressing gratitude for the overwhelming response from students for the SSLC examinations, Karnataka Minister for Primary and Secondary Education S Suresh Kumar on Friday took to Twitter to laud a student who didn’t let his physical hurdles deter him from writing the examination.

Sharing image of the student, Kaushik, who wrote the SSLC examination at Bantwal’s SVS High School, the Minister said that he was taken aback by the boy’s spirit for writing the exam independently without relying on anyone’s help. Such individuals give new meaning to life. Others should learn from this.

In the picture, Kaushik is seen seated on the floor and using his toes to write answers.

Bengaluru, Jan 26: BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel has been served with a court notice asking him to personally appear before the special court for people’s representatives on February 24, in connection with a defamation suit filed by Congress MLA Rizwan Arshad.

Rizwan had lodged the defamation suit against Kateel and state BJP social media chief after the party, in a tweet during the 2019 Lok Sabha election, alleged Rizwan’s involvement in the manufacture of fake voter identity cards.

Apart from Kateel, head of the party’s social media unit has also been asked to appear in person at the above court on February 24.

Bengaluru, Apr 4: Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday asked Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar to be the government's spokesperson on the Novel Coronavirus crisis management effort, a move that is being seen as keeping too many cooks from spoiling the broth.

At a high-level meeting to review measures on COVID-19 containment, Mr Yediyurappa is said to have taken exception to his Cabinet colleagues making multiple, and often contradictory statements, leading to confusion.

''The CM has directed Mr Kumar to be the only one to brief the media on COVID-19,'' a source from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) confirmed.
