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.

Bengaluru, Jan 1: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah on Wednesday slammed the Centre on the issue of fare hike announcement by Indian Railways.

"Increase in Train fares is a New Year gift by Narendra Modi government to common people," Siddaramaiah tweeted.

"This will further dent the developmental prospects as Railways form a backbone of Transportation. Instead, the govt should have gifted us the values of our Constitution by upholding it," he added.

As covid-19 cases began to increase in Dakshina Kannada, the Kasargod district administration had unilaterally newly introduced of daily pass system on July 6 for entry and exit from Talapady border. This had inconvenienced hundreds of employees, who visited Mangaluru daily to eke a living. 

The decision to resume the pass system was taken in a video conference of Kerala Revenue Minister Chandrasekharan with officials and elected representatives on August 3.

The minister said the Kasaragod district administration will resume issuing of passes for daily commuters between Kasaragod and Mangaluru. But they should undergo rapid antigen test for every week to renew their passes.

"Similarly, one-time interstate passes will be issued for those who want to take part in marriages, funeral and other functions in both states. Even they should undergo antigen test after returning from the functions,” the minister added.

As per the previous order, daily commuters, especially employees, had to stay in Mangaluru for 28 days before returning to Kasargod. Later, Kerala government relaxed rules on July 23 allowing only bank employees from Kasaragod to travel daily in their private vehicles to their workplace in Dakshina Kannada.
