Bengaluru, May 8: A sessions court here has asked Asianet News Network and Suvarna News 24x7 to pay Rs 50 lakh to Congress leader Divya Spandana aka Ramya for wrongly linking her to the IPL spot fixing scam in 2013.

The case was filed in September 2013 after Suvarna News aired a report linking Ramya, a former MP, to the infamous IPL spot fixing case. The channel carried a news report on the alleged involvement of some Kannada actress in the case.

The IIX Additional City Civil and Sessions Court Judge Patil Nagalinganagouda passed the order on April 26 stating that the respondents should give the compensation to the victim within two months from passing of the order.

In the order, the judge observed that there is no evidence to prove the involvement of Ramya who was also the brand ambassador of Royal Challengers Bengaluru for indulging in cricket betting and spot fixing. 

The television channel has destroyed the journalism ethics by publishing such a baseless news. It also tarnishes the image of Ramya. The channel has caused irreparable damage to the image and the reputation of the actor, the judge said in the order.

Bengaluru, Mar 15: All 21 Madhya Pradesh MLAs from Jyotiraditya Scindia's camp, who were lodged here at Prestige Golfshire Club, have been shifted to Ramada hotel in Yelahanka ahead of Monday's floor test in the state assembly.

In view of their arrival, the concerned authorities have strengthened security outside the hotel.

Following the exit of Scindia from Congress, these MLAs claimed to have resigned from the state Legislative Assembly.

On March 11, Congress sent two of its leaders -- Sajjan Singh Verma and Govind Singh -- to Bengaluru in order to pacify some of these rebel MLAs.

Most of the rebel MLAs are perceived close to Scindia and were apparently unhappy at Scindia being "ignored" in the party.
Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Congress MLAs, who arrived in Bhopal from Jaipur today morning ahead of the floor test in the Assembly on Monday, have been shifted to Courtyard by Marriott Hotel.

These MLAs were accompanied by senior Congress leader Harish Rawat, who exuded confidence of Kamal-Nath led government winning floor test in the Assembly.

Both Congress and BJP have issued whips to all its MLAs for the legislative assembly session in Madhya Pradesh, which is scheduled to be held from March 16 to April 13.

On Saturday, Madhya Pradesh Governor Lalji Tandon had directed that a floor test will be held in the assembly on Monday.
