Farooq Ullal, spokesperson of Dakshina Kannada District Congress Committee and member of Ullal City Municipal Council had parked his Swift car outside his home last night.

When he came out of home early morning on Thursday to attendant Fajr namaz at a nearby mosque, he found his car was damaged with the windshield and all the windows shattered.

Mr Farooq, who is also the president of a local mosque, has ruled out the communal angle in the attack and held a gang of drunkards responsible for the act.

“I do not have any personal rivalry or animosity with anyone in any community. I am sure that no one wants to harm me or my property. This is the act of a few drunkards who has been troubling the people in the area,” he said urging the police to nab the culprits.

He said that a gang of miscreants has been extorting money from pilgrims who visit Ullal Dargah. “The same gang now started demanding hafta from local shopkeepers and issuing threats. They are drunkards. This might be the act of same gang,” he said.

A case has been registered at Ullal police station and investigations are on.

Bengaluru, Jul 22: On Wednesday morning starlet and Bigg Boss 3 contestant Jayashree Ramaiah sent social media into a tizzy with an update that read, “I quit. Goodbye to this f*****g world and depression.” Friends and acquaintances immediately began reaching out to the actor asking her to return their concerned calls and desist from taking any extreme steps.

“Jayashree has been battling depression for a while now. She had family issues and was also concerned about the lack of work,” shares actor Ashvithi Shetty. The Ramachari twins were in touch with Jayashree since they met at a celebrity cricket match four years ago. “She has shared several times about how low she’s been and I would try to cheer her up. But the problem was that she’d keep changing her phone number so often that it became difficult to keep track of how she was doing,” states Ashvithi.

Around four months ago, Jayashree moved into her own home and mentioned to her that she was happy with this new development in her life. “But she went retreated again and a few days ago, I messaged her on social media and she said she was doing fine. So I was shocked to see this update on Wednesday morning,” avers the actor. Repeated calls finally elicited a message from Jayashree that she was getting admitted to the hospital. “But I also got contradictory information that she had been discharged and had been taken to the hospital again but she was refusing to go inside. I am awaiting more clarity on the issue,” sums up Ashvithi.

New Delhi, Apr 19: The government on Sunday prohibited the sale of non-essential items through e-commerce platforms during the ongoing lockdown, four days after allowing such companies to sale mobile phones, refrigerators and ready-made garments.

Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla issued an order excluding the non-essential items from sale by the e-commerce companies from the consolidated revised guidelines, which listed the exemption given to the services and people from the purview of the lockdown.

The order said the following clause -- "E-commerce companies. Vehicles used by e-commerce operators will be allowed to ply with necessary permissions" -- is excluded from the guidelines.

The previous order had said such items were allowed for sale through e-commerce platforms from April 20.

However, the reason for reversing the order is not known immediately.
