Commercial Street police picked up Mr Sharif on Wednesday night and formally arrested him in connection with the murder case on Thursday morning, sources said.

According to police sources, Mr Sharif was in touch with Irfan Pasha, who was earlier arrested in connection with the case.

During interrogation, some suspects arrested earlier in the case allegedly told the police that they acted based on instructions from Sheriff. However police said that the allegation can be confirmed only after interrogating Mr Sherif.

Political conspiracy'

Meanwhile, the PFI has condemned the arrest of Mr Sharif and called it a political conspiracy.

Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru, Yasir Hasan, General secretary of PFI-Karnataka rubbished all allegations against Mr Sharif and denied any connection with the murder.

Mr Hasan, claimed that the allegations were politically motivated. “PFI strongly condemns the irrelevant arrest of our district President. This is politically motivated,” he said.

Rudresh was hacked to death by two bike-borne men on October 16 near Shivajinagar. The police arrested Mohammed Majidullah alias Mujib(44) from RT Nagar, Mohd Sadiq(35) from JC Nagar, Vasim Ahmed (36) from Austin Town and Irfan Pasha (30) Govindapura on October 27.

The RSS has announced that it would seek a ban on organizations that have played a role in the murder.

New Delhi, Jun 9: Elections to seven seats of the Karnataka Legislative Council will be held on June 29, the poll panel announced on Tuesday.

The seven seats are falling vacant on June 30, according to an Election Commission statement.

Members of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly will vote on June 29 to elect the seven new MLCs.

The Commission has directed the Karnataka chief secretary to depute a senior officer to ensure that the  instructions regarding COVID-19 containment measures are complied with during the elections.

The counting of votes will be held on the evening of June 29 after completion of polls, as per practice.

The notification for the elections will be issued on June 11, the statement said.

MLCs are usually elected by four types of electors -- MLAs, Graduates, Teachers and members of local authorities.

On Monday, the Commission had deferred elections to four seats of the Karnataka Legislative Council -- two each from Teachers and Graduate constituencies -- falling vacant on June 30 due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.

"If MLAs are electors, the size of the electorate is small and the assembly building is the only polling station. When the electorate is teachers or graduates, the number of those who can vote is higher.

Due to the virus, Commission only allowed polls to seats where MLAs are the electors to prevent large gatherings," explained a senior EC functionary.

Bengaluru, Apr 19: A recent government order prohibiting congregations, Ramadan prayers is discriminatory and needs to be withdrawn, JD(S) MLC B M Farookh has demanded.

In a letter to the chief secretary, Farookh pointed out that the order contained certain conditions such as restriction of the use of public address system and delivering Azan in low decibels, which had nothing to do with the prevention of Covid-19 disease.

“These days, Azan includes a call for the community to pray at home and does not offer namaz at mosque. The order also prohibits preparation and distribution of porridge, which has always been taken up in the interest of the poor. The High Court has noted that the relief distribution by NGOs or individuals should not be prevented and the state machinery has to coordinate the same by ensuring social distancing. The ban on distribution of porridge by mosques amounts to discrimination. The order needs to be withdrawn or revisited,” he wrote in his letter.

Further, observing that a religious fair was conducted in Kalaburagi recently, in violation of the government’s social distancing norms, Farookh sought the government to ensure that social distancing norms are enforced with regard to festivals of all communities without discrimination.
