Bengaluru, Feb 22: An inebriated man hurled a chocolate packet at chief minister Siddaramaiah at Ravindra Kalakshetra on Sunday morning, setting off a bomb scare.

chocolatesReports said the man in his late 30s cried 'bomb' as he aimed the packet at the CM. The chief minister's security personnel seized the cover and opened it, only to find a few pieces of chocolates inside. They detained the man, identified as B H J Prasad, a BBMP forest wing employee. The incident took place during the golden jubilee celebration of Udayabhanu Kala Sangha.

Sources said the trouble started when Prasad, from the balcony of the auditorium, interrupted the CM's speech asking him to list what he has done for his community. As the CM enquired Prasad about his community, the man threw an object towards him.

The crowd panicked initially, but it was soon found that the packet sealed with red tape contained chocolates. SJ Park police detained Prasad and released him on bail in the evening.

According to police, Prasad, said to be from Savita Samaja, was aggrieved as he couldn't enter active politics.

Siddaramaiah termed the incident part of a democracy and said he would look into the issues raised by Prasad's community.

Deputy commissioner of police (central) Sandeep Patil said Prasad was making incoherent statements during questioning. "We haven't pressed charges against him. We're trying to ascertain if he's psychologically fit. We've summoned his wife to get more details about him," he said.

He has been booked for public nuisance under IPC Section 290 and Section 92 of the Karnataka Police Act.

Kottayam, Mar 16: A trial court in Kerala  on Monday dismissed a discharge petition filed by Bishop Franco Mulakkal, in connection with the case of alleged rape of a nun in which he is the prime accused.

In his plea filed before the Additional District and Sessions Court I, Mulakkal had claimed that prima facie there was no case to frame charges against him.

Dismissing the plea, the trial court said the bishop should stand for trial in the rape case.

The bishop's lawyer said an appeal would be filed in the High Court against the trial court order.

The prosecution had filed its objection to the plea filed by the bishop, accused of raping and sexually assaulting a nun of the same diocese.

The bishop had filed the plea just ahead of commencement of the preliminary hearing on charges against him in January this year.

The case is based on a complaint filed against the bishop by the nun.

In her complaint to the police in June, 2018, the nun had alleged that she was subjected to sexual abuse by the bishop during the period between 2014 and 2016.

The bishop, who was arrested by the Special Investigation Team which probed the case, has been charged with wrongful confinement, rape, unnatural sex and criminal intimidation.
