Mangaluru, Sept 26: Two persons — a man and a woman — have been arrested by the Mangaluru city police on charge of blackmailing, abducting and robbing a senior citizen.

The arrested have been identified as Rajesh Pavithran, 34, resident of Kuttar and district president of the Hindu Mahasabha, and Srilatha, 30, Mangaluru taluk president of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike.

Police said that the two along with their gang recorded a 76-year-old businessman’s sexual act with women and threatened to release the video to the media if he did not heed their demand.

Srilatha called the man near Mangala Stadium, Ladyhill, on September 23. Upon the man’s arrival, Srilatha and four unidentified people kidnapped him. The man was locked at the residence of Pavithran in Surathkal.

Police said that the five demanded Rs 5 lakh each to hide the video. As the man refused to budge, the gang assaulted him and fleeced his gold chain weighing 4.5 sovereigns, two gold rings, a watch and Rs 18,000. The man then filed a complaint at Barke police station.

Police recovered the man’s belongings and the memory card which supposedly contains the video.

The accused were booked under various sections of the IPC on Tuesday. They were produced before a court which remanded them in judicial custody. More people are yet to be detained, police said.

Wayanad, April 7: The Kerala government has allowed people from border villages of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to use medical facilities at Wayanad.

"We have opened our borders to people from neighbouring states who require medical facilities in Kerala. Twenty-nine people from Bairakuppa in Karnataka have used medical facilities in Wayanad and 44 from Tamil Nadu," Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Monday.

Bairakuppa, a small village in Karnataka, is separated by the river Kabini from Wayanad district and the residents there depend on the healthcare facilities available in Wayanad.

Speaking to news agency, Adeela Abdulla, District Collector of Wayanad, said that instructions have been issued to allow people from neighbouring states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, who need medical facilities, to cross the border.

"Right from the start of the lockdown, we have not restricted individuals from Bairakuppa region in Mysore district to use the medical facilities in Wayanad as people in that region depend on medical facilities in Wayanad," she said.

Bengaluru, Jul 16: Former Prime Minister and JDS supremo H D Devegowda on Thursday gave a clarion call to party workers to take steps to strengthen the party from the grossroots level and to 'expose the failures' and 'anti-people' policies of BJP government both at the Centre and State.

In an open letter to the workers here, he alleged that the urgent need is to create awareness among the people about failure of the governments which have brought in policies which are deterrent to the poor and downtrodden.

BJP government headed by Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in Karnataka has come up with an amendment to the Land Reforms Act,1961, which is 'against' interests of the small and medium farmers as even a non-agriculturist can purchase agriculture land, thus giving an opportunity to the rich people to 'exploit' illiterate farmers and purchase their land and use it for some other purpose after some time.
