In order to prevent untoward incidents such as stone pelting, the Mangaluru city police had denied permission to hold proposed motorbike rally from Dr B R Ambedkar Circle (Jyothi Circle) to DC Office. The police had allowed the BJP only to hold a public meeting for three hours, from 11 am to 2 pm at Nehru Maidan.

However, hundreds of BJP activists gathered in the morning at Ambedkar Circle wherein their leaders delivered speeches till noon. They had decided to violate the ban and hold bike rally.

However, soon after former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa flagged off the illegal rally, the men in khaki stepped into action and took the agitators into custody.

The BJP leaders continued to raise slogans against chief minister Siddaramaiah led government for not granting permission to hold motorbike rally.

Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Dr K G Jagadeesha also has imposed prohibitory orders under Section 35 of Karnataka Police Act, restricting bike rally and procession till the midnight of September 8 in entire district.

Bengaluru, Apr 17: The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Thursday served a show cause notice to a Kannada news channel for broadcasting a programme in which it purportedly said that the Centre would 'air drop money' to the poor, owing to the COVID-19 lockdown.

The notice said that the channel was "spreading false information, creating panic and social unrest.

" The channel had allegedly aired a show titled, "Helicopter Money" on Wednesday which claimed that the Centre would drop money from helicopters during the lockdown period.

A Twitter user took a serious note of it and complained to the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar.

The fact check team of the Press Information Bureau, under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, refuted the claim.

In its notice to the channel, PIB said, "You are hereby directed to show cause why your channel should not be taken out of air immediately. You are instructed to send your reply in this regard within 10 days of receipt of this notice."
