Mangaluru, Nov 30: U T Khader, minister for urban development, housing and Dakshina Kannada district in-charge, handed over a cheque of Rs 1 lakh as a reward for Panambur police, who through a swift action were successful in arresting seven accused in gang rape of a woman at Thota Bengre beach in Mangaluru.

The cheque was handed over to City Police Commissioner T R Suresh.

Speaking on the occasion, the minister said that the reward was announced on the part of the citizens of Dakshina Kannada district. “I paid Rs 1 lakh from my salary on behalf of the citizens of the district. The police took over the case suo motu without receiving any complaint from the victim. Their swift action in arresting all the accused youth is praiseworthy,” he said.

He said that the victim is paid compensation of Rs 4.12 lakh from Karntaka State Legal Services Authority. The remaining Rs 4.13 lakh will be paid to the victim after the filing of a charge sheet to the court.

Khader said he had appealed to the advocates not to defend the youth named in the gang rape case. “This was to ensure that offenders have a fear of law and fear that there is no one to defend them in the court to come out on bail. My statement on not to defend accused was to reflect commonman’s perspective and to instil a fear among anti-social elements that there is none to defend him in the court, to get bail.”

Bengaluru, Apr 21: Alarmed by reports that 53 media persons have contracted coronavirus in Maharashtra, a Minister on Tuesday urged Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to screen all the journalists in Karnataka.

During the regular Covid-19 related briefing on Monday, a reporter had raised the issue of 53 journalists in the neighbouring state testing positive for the disease, with Minister for Primary and Secondary Education S Suresh Kumar.

In Maharashtra, out of the 171 scribes examined medically, 53 were found to have the viral infection.

In his letter to the CM, Kumar said a similar test should be carried on the journalists in Karnataka.

"The journalists wanted a similar kind of screening to be carried out on them. Therefore, please direct the health and the information department immediately to conduct the screening of journalists who are in contact with public," Kumar said.

Bengaluru, Feb 26: Congress leaders on Wednesday staged a protest in front of Mahatma Gandhi's statue at Vidhana Soudha here against BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yathnal's alleged remarks accusing freedom fighter HS Doreswamy of being a "Pakistani agent".

Former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah, KPCC working president Eashwar Khandre also joined the protest.

Yathnal on Tuesday called Doreswamy a fake freedom fighter and a Pakistani agent, while addressing the media.

His comments triggered a controversy drawing sharp remarks from Congress and other parties.

Congress has demanded an apology from Yathnal and has also urged that his Assembly membership be cancelled.

"Session proceedings will not continue until Yathnal apologises," said senior Congress leader HK Patil while addressing the protest earlier today.

Siddaramaiah asserted that making "provocative" comments against such a freedom fighter is obnoxious.

Former KPCC president Dr G Parameshwar said: "Yathnal is a criminal who had mentioned in his election affidavit that he had 27 cases against him. He has made such loose comments against the freedom fighter. He should apologise for his remarks."
