Mangaluru, Mar 23: The state government has given nod to the city police to prosecute Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat in one of the cases, nearly a year after two cases were against him in connection with provocative speeches.

On April 6, 2018, the Konaje police registered a case against Bhat for allegedly making a speech inciting communal sentiments during a hunger strike against the theft of a cow from Amruthadhara Go Shala run by Sri Ramachandrapura Mutt. The hunger strike was by Rajaram Bhat, the caretaker of the go shala.

Another case was registered against Dr. Bhat on April 15, 2018 by the Bajpe police for his alleged provocative speech at Kajepadavu.

The two cases were booked during the campaign for the Assembly elections.

A senior police officer said the police had sought mandatory prosecution sanction in the two cases. A few days ago, the police received the sanction in the case registered by the Konaje police and a chargesheet was filed. “We are hopeful of getting sanction in the other case shortly,” the officer said.

As many as 32 cases were registered by the city police during the Assembly elections. Of them, 22 are pending trial. A case of alleged distribution of 100 shawls registered by the Mangaluru South police ended in conviction. The two cases against Bhat are among the few that the police were awaiting prosecution sanction.

This hate monger is required to be arrested immediately as he is planning to create disturbance in society during election.   I urge EC to strip his voting power also.   He should not be allowed to make any speech in public and should be put in jail forever.

Mysuru, Feb 26: The Pre-University Education Department was taking several measures to prevent paper leaks during the II PU examinations, scheduled to commence from March 4, a statement said on Tuesday.

Among the few measures that the board has chalked out, students would not be allowed to leave the examination hall till the last bell. In case of any emergency, the student could leave the exam hall but s/he would be required to surrender the question paper to authorities in the hall.

This is being done to ensure question papers aren’t circulated during exam hours by those who exit the hall before the last bell.

“As of now there will not be any changes in SSLC exam schedule. We have reviewed the situation and preparations are underway for ensuring safety of children,” the source added.
