Bengaluru, Jul 16: In yet another selfie-related tragedy, two software engineers from Bengaluru were washed away in Cauvery River while clicking selfies with friends at Mekedatu in Ramanagara district yesterday. The search operation is on.

The victims have been identified as Sameer Rahman (29), and Bhavani Shankar (29), residents of Bannerghatta Road in Bengaluru and natives of Bidar.

The incident happened between 10.30 and 11.30 am at Sangam, Mekedatu where the four friends, Sameer Rahman, Bhavani Shankar, Amit and Srikanth visited on two bikes. They were roommates.

Sameer was trying to take a selfie, when he slipped and fell into the water. Bhavani Shankar also leaped in to save his friend. Both remained untraced so far.

Soon after the tragedy, Amit and Srikanth sought help from locals who informed the police. The police alerted Fire and Emergency Services who rushed to the spot and started the search operation.

As the Krishnarajasagar (KRS) dam's 12 gates are open, the water level has risen to 60-70 feet more than the usual, a senior police officer said.

Sunday’s search operation was called off in the night and resumed on Monday morning. The search team are checking rock crevices underwater with the help of locals. They suspect the bodies could have gotten trapped.

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has also been called for an elaborate search operation.

Jurisdictional Sathanur police have informed the victims' families of the accident, and are assisting the search team to retrieve the bodies.

in kerala news papers and channels if any malayalee irrespective of his religion kills, injured or traped ......

......news will be....... malayalee killed, malayalee injured, malayalee traped, all malayalees are safe..the news goes like this...... they are united under one language..... and there is no difference.

In karnataka most of the problems especially in D.K and udupi is  started from some evening Daily with sensational news and these news  papers are major role in dividing people in the name of religion. now some paid channels are doing the same job..

If news channels and polices are fare there will not be any issue

 

 

Here the intention is good. I think writer tried to show the intimacy between two religious people and also focusing on unity

People wont look or read the news if you are writing without that

Bidar, Mar 4: The Principal District and Sessions Court in Bidar, on Tuesday, granted conditional bail to five functionaries of Shaheen School management — Abdul Qadeer, Allauddin Pasha, Mehtab Sait, Bilal Inamdar and Abdul Khaleq — who moved anticipatory bail in a sedition case slapped against their school recently.

Conditions

Senior advocate B.T. Venkatesh from Bengaluru argued for the petitioners. Managoli Premavati Mallikarjuna granted bail on certain conditions, including execution of personal bond of ₹2 lakh each.

The sedition case was filed against the Shaheen School management for its children staging a play as part of their annual day celebrations on January 21, in which a character had allegedly delivered a dialogue against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

While Nazbunnisa, the mother of the child who had allegedly delivered the dialogue in the play, and Fareeda Begum, the headmistress of the school, were arrested, they were subsequently released on bail last month.
