Bengaluru, Jul 1: As many as four Congress leaders have filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court, challenging their defeat in the recent Assembly elections and have cited EVM hacking as the reason.
Those approached the court include two former MLAs from Dakshina Kannada district. They are: B A Mohiuddin Bava, who lost to Dr Bharath Shetty in Mangaluru North and J R Lobo, who lost to Vedavyas Kamath in Mangaluru South.
After the announcement of results, both of them had claimed that EVMs had been tampered with in their constituencies.
Apart from them, M K Somashekar, who lost from Krishnaraja of Mysuru and Vasu who lost Chamaraja in Mysuru have approached the court.
Interestingly, all these four Congress candidates were defeated by less known candidates from BJP.
The kidnapped schoolboy was rescued by the police and reunited with his parents. Son of a gift shop owner from Basavanagudi area in Bengaluru, Chirag has reportedly told police that decided to make some quick money to spend on cricket betting and gambling after learning kidnap tricks from the ‘Crime Patrol’. According to police, Chirag reached a private school around 3pm on Tuesday on a Bounce rental bike and zeroed in on a fourth standard student who was walking out of school. He told the boy he was his father's friend and that he required help to search for a relative who had gone missing. The boy believed Chirag and rode pillion on the bike. Chirag then engaged the boy in conversation and learnt about his father's business and got his mobile phone number. He then made a call to the boy's father, demanded Rs 5 lakh and warned him against approaching cops. However, the boy's father alerted Cottonpet police and special teams were formed to crack the case. While Cottonpet inspector Venkatesh TC's squad verified CCTV footage in and around the school, Chamarajpet inspector BG Kumaraswamy's team started tracking the suspect's mobile phone movements. An hour later, the suspect's location was traced to a hotel on the Lavelle Road-St Mark's Road stretch. Police rushed there, rescued the boy and arrested Chirag.

100 percent the EVM was tampered..
there is no doubt.
but no one can do anything as already the top notch officials and investigators are greased well by the central champion liars..
we await return of lord rama to keep the rakshas away
Good courageous initiative by Mr.Lobo & Mr. Bava. Where are other congress MLA’s hiding? May be be afraid of CBI raids.
Bava done evrything for suratkal people. He has given modern face to suratkal.
Bava done everything for him. Not for people. He may suits for film, not for politics. He's just a publiocity seeker
Mr bava and lobo.. you cant make fool people all the time. People knew they elected bad people only for this time. But comparing to you people they are better.
These fools thought that they can win easily even after they are doing nothing good to people.
Why these people blaming EVM.What you done to people, they returned.
If they won, no issue with EVM. shame on you.
If EVM are not verfied properly it will take big step in 2019 as wellknown Adithyanath told EVM means every vote for Modi,the silence of opposition will give big boost for EVM in feature.
