Bangalore, February 24: The Special Lokayukta Court on Thursday issued summons to former Chief Minister B?S Yeddyurappa, his sons Vijayendra and Raghavendra and his son-in-law R N Sohan Kumar in one of the private complaints filed by advocate Sirajin Basha.

The complaint relates to several instances of illegal denotification of land by Yeddyurappa and receiving financial favours in return for the denotification.

The complaint also accuses BJP MLC Bharathi Shetty of getting a site allotted in RMV 2nd stage under ‘G’ category and later attempting to amalgamate the site with that of an adjoining site belonging to B?Y Raghavendra.

However, the case against Bharathi Shetty has been dismissed. The case has been adjourned to March 16, and Yeddyurappa will have to appear in the court on that day. All the accused have obtained anticipatory bail from the High Court.

Counsel for the petitioner Sirajin Basha had sought directions from the Court to order for an inquiry under Section 202 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Inquiry ruled out

But, Judge N?K?Sudhindra Rao ruled that there was no necessity for calling an inquiry at the present stage and declared there were sufficient grounds to conduct proceedings against the accused and ordered the issue of summons.

The Judge also dismissed the case against Bharathi Shetty and another accused G Selva Kumar in the same complaint. While the Judge ruled that there was no case made out against Bharathi Shetty, he dismissed the case against Selva Kumar as there was no address, description or any material provided against him. The complainant had stated that 14,432 sq ft of land in Nagashettihalli was denotified in Selva Kumar’s name, although he was not the original owner of the land.

Seven accused

The original complaint filed against Yeddyurappa had eleven accused persons. However, the counsel for the complainant had earlier withdrawn the names of former Minister Krishnaiah Setty and Director of E Ramamurthy Minerals, and Metals Private Limited, Praveen Chandra as the instance is already under trial in another private complaint filed by Sirajin Basha.

In the present form, the complaint has seven accused, B?S Yeddyurappa, B?Y Vijayendra, B?Y Raghavendra, R?N?Sohan Kumar, Praveen Shetty, B?S Ashok Kumar and B?R Shetty.

Instances

1 The first instance pertains to Yeddyurappa denotifying three pieces of land measuring 1 acre 36 guntas, 23 guntas and 33 guntas of adjoining land in Hebbala Amanikere village in favour of Trishul Developers represented by Prakash Shetty. Trishul Developers had illegally purchased the land after it was notified by the BDA. In return, Trishul had paid a total of Rs 2.75 crore to Dhavalagiri Properties owned by Yeddyurappa’s two sons and his son-in-law with a stake of Besto Ice Cream represented by Ashok Kumar.

Total loss to the exchequer: Rs 101.27 crore.

2 This relates to illegal denotification of 11 acres and 25 guntas of land in Srirampura Village of Yelahanka Hobli, acquired by the BDA?for the formation of Arkavathy Layout with the final notification given in 2004. The original owner of the land B R Shetty, who did not challenge the denotification, wrote twice to the Chief Minister B?S Yeddyurappa in August 2008, seeking denotification of land for different reasons. Yeddyurappa denotified the land in May 2010. Later Ashok Kumar of Besto Ice Cream purchased 2 acres 20 guntas of the same land for Rs 3.75 crore, when the market value was Rs 54.45 crore

Total loss to the exchequer: Rs 50.70 crore

3 Two adjoining sites were allotted to B Y Raghavendra and MLC Bharati Shetty, in RMV 2nd Stage under ‘G’ category despite Raghavendra not being eligible for the site, as he already owned other properties. Later, both of them submitted two applications, one to sell the sites ahead of the lease period and then to amalgamate them. Both these applications were rejected by the BDA. Both of them then got khatas effected in BBMP East Zone for the respective sites and got plans sanctioned respectively to construct two identical houses with identical plan and identical measurements.

Noida, Jul 28: A doctor admitted at a private hospital in Noida has been accused of sexually harassing a patient in his isolation ward, where both were undergoing treatment for COVID-19, the police said.

The 20-year-old woman, in her complaint to the police, alleged that the incident took place on Monday and based on that a case was filed at the local expressway police station, they said.

A senior police official said an investigation is underway and there might be lapses on part of the hospital which allegedly admitted a man and a woman in the same isolation ward, in violation of the norms.

The woman and the doctor had tested positive for coronavirus last week, according to officials.

"The woman was in the isolation ward of the private hospital. There was a man, a medical practitioner, who too was infected with coronavirus and was sharing the ward with her," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Noida, Ranvijay Singh said.

He said the woman alleged molestation and upon being informed, the police immediately lodged a case and initiated a probe into the matter.

"There appears to be some irresponsibility on part of the hospital too. We are communication with the medical departments to check whether the patients were being kept in accordance with the guidelines," Mr Singh said.

He said the accused is still in isolation but the police will reach out for his statement following due protocols of COVID-19.

"All necessary action will be taken as per the truth that will emerge after a thorough investigation," Mr Singh said.

New Delhi, Jan 6: A blind student who is pursuing research in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) was also attacked by the mob that perpetrated violence in the University yesterday.

"I thought that the mob which came yesterday would disperse after raising a few slogans but they indulged in violence. They were targeting ABVP students. They beat me with sticks and rods. When I went to the AIIMS Trauma Centre, I came to know that there are many other injured students there," Surya Prakash, the blind student pursuing research in the University told ANI.

"I talked to my family members. They are really worried about the situation here. I qualified in the National Eligibility Test (NET) last year but I want to study and hence I am continuing research in JNU. How can we do anything in this atmosphere of fear? I am receiving calls from anonymous numbers threatening me not to come in front of the media. They are saying that as I am blind, I would become the face of this case," he added.

Another PhD student, Santosh Bhagat recounted his experience.

"In the evening at around 7 pm, many masked men entered the hostel. They had rods and sticks in their hands. We tried to go out but the attackers had entered the premises by then. I locked my room from inside but the attackers broke the door and entered my room and attacked me. They pushed me from the first floor and I fell down and sustained an injury. Later, I took shelter at one of the Professor's flat. Later, I was taken to the AIIMS Trauma Cantre," Bhagat said.

On Sunday evening, more than 30 students of the university, including JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh, were injured and were taken to the AIIMS Trauma Centre after a masked mob entered the JNU and attacked them and professors with sticks and rods.

The JNU administration and political leaders, cutting across political lines, condemned the attack on students and urged the police to take action against the perpetrators.

Meanwhile, the situation remained tense but peaceful outside JNU on Monday morning as the university guards maintained a strict vigil at the gate, checking I-cards of all those entering the university.

May 11: Two youths allegedly gang-raped a teen and then hacked to death her 11-year old brother, who had seen their act, in a bid to hide their crime, at a village in Uttar Pradesh's Etah district, about 300 kilometres from here.

Police sources said that two youths, resident of the same village, barged into the house of the teen, when she was alone, and allegedly gang-raped her.

The victim's minor brother suddenly came into the house and protested after he witnessed his sister being sexually assaulted, sources said. The youths allegedly strangled the minor with a towel.

The alleged culprits, who hailed from influential families, 'forced' the victim's parents to bury their son and warned them against approaching the cops.

The parents, however, gathered courage and met senior police officials in Etah on Sunday after a case was registered in this regard. Police said that the body of the minor would be exhumed and a postmortem examination would be conducted.
