Bengaluru, Mar 9: Lokayukta Justice P Vishwanath Shetty, who was stabbed by Tejraj Sharma, has told members of his family that the attacker did not even give him any time to react and, stabbed him.

Justice Shetty's son Shashi Kiran Shetty, senior counsel at High Court of Karnataka, told DH that his father told him on Thursday that he was no way connected with the complaints filed by Sharma.

"His complaint subjects does not fall under my jurisdiction. Lokayukta, Upalokayukta and assistant registrar have different jurisdictions. Basically he (Sharma) has some grievance that his complaint was closed. He came to have a discussion. Soon after entering, he started attacking me. I tried to defend myself,'' Shashikiran said quoting his father.

My father told me that, what evil caused him (Sharma) to take such step as there was no cause or reason. Was there something more than his grievance?. "Can anyone go to such an extreme extent for not given any chance, my father asked me,'' stated Shashikiran.

He said that, his mother Shakuntala V Shetty was still under shock and slowly recovering after she spoke to his father.

The police are yet to record the statement of Justice Shetty. Members of his family said that they are not hiring any Special Public Prosecutor.

New Delhi, Mar 7: The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the bail granted by Karnataka High Court to 21 Popular Front of India (PFI) members accused in connection with violence that erupted during the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in Karnataka's Mangaluru in December 2019.

On February 17, the High Court had granted bail to the accused on the bail petition filed by Mohammed Ashik.

A bench consisting Chief Justice S A Bobde issued notice to the accused on Friday after taking cognisance of the plea filed by Karnataka government against the bail granted by the High Court.

Appearing for the state government, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta criticised the High Court's order stating that at least 56 policemen sustained injuries during the violent protests.

Two persons identified as Jaleel (43) of Kudroli and Nousheen (49) of Bengre had died at a private hospital following the bullet injuries they sustained in an alleged police firing during a protest against CAA 2019.
