Everybody knows that social media platforms are notorious for baseless rumours and fake news. But, in a bizarre development, the mainstream media in Karnataka has apparently tried to drag a minister’s name to a murder case by using an old and unrelated photo.

Deepak Rao, a resident of Katipalla in Mangaluru taluk was hacked to death by a gang of notorious criminals on January 3 in his hometown. Police have arrested six persons in connection with the murder including Pinki Navaz, who is said to be an activist of the Minority Morcha of Bharatiya Janata Party. 

The BJP is holding PFI, SDPI and ruling Congress government of Karnataka responsible for the murder whereas Congress leader suspecting BJP’s hand behind the murder. The Congress leaders are claiming that murder of a Hindu youth by miscreants belonging to Muslim community will politically help BJP in the elections.

Meanwhile, the social media wing of the saffron party started spreading an old photo in which Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader can be seen having food. The photo was taken a few months ago when Mr Khader had attended a wedding in his constituency on the request of localites when he was passing through that way. In the same photo Ilyas, a member of infamous Target Gang, also seen having food along with Mr Khader. Ilyas is said to be an associate of Pinki Navaz. While circulating the photo, the BJP activists claimed that Mr Khader has links with Pinki Navaz. Interestingly, a few television channels and newspapers too published the same photo. 

Reacting to the allegations made against him, Mr Khader said that in the past too, the miscreants had tried to malign him using the same photo. “My opponents also know that I do not support any criminals. But, some miscreants often try to malign me for political gains,” he said.

This is called putkosi journalism. Why CD team gets hurt if other media publish report against UTK with proof? There should be a limit for bias

New Delhi, May 29: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 1.2 crore on Karnataka Bank Limited for non-compliance of asset classification, divergence and provisioning norms.

"The penalty has been imposed in exercise of powers vested in RBI under the provisions of Section 47 A (1) (c) read with Section 46 (4) (i) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. 

This action is based on the deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers," the central bank said in a statement on Thursday.

According to the central bank, the statutory inspection of the bank with reference to its financial position as on March 31, 2017, and as on March 31, 2018, and the Risk Assessment Reports (RAR) pertaining thereto revealed, inter-alia, non-compliance with the directions issued by RBI.

Earlier, a notice was issued to the bank advising it to show cause as to why penalty should not be imposed on it for non-compliance with the directions.

After considering the bank's reply to the notice, oral submissions made in the personal hearing and examination of additional submissions, RBI concluded that the charges of non-compliance with RBI directions warranted imposition of monetary penalty, according to a release.

This action is based on the deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: State’s primary and secondary education minister, S Suresh Kumar on Friday asked the Department of Public Instruction to register a complaint in the cybercrime police station against the teacher who shared a video of a child mispronouncing a Kannada word.

The viral video shows the child from a government school incorrectly pronouncing the word 'Pakkelubu' (ribcage).

The minister observed, 'It is normal for children to pronounce words incorrectly and only repetitive practise will make them say it correctly. If a video of such a mistake is made and spread on the Internet the child will see it in future and be demoralised and might start hate learning. The person who made and posted this video has committed a grave crime.
