Karwar, May 11: A CID team arrived in Dandeli on Friday to probe the murder of Madan Nayak, Assistant Conservator of Forests (ACF), Dandeli.

The state government had transferred the ACF murder case to CID on Wednesday following allegations that the Dandeli rural police had not handled it properly. The CID officials --- KP Bheemaih, SP, and BB Ashok Kumar, DSP --- visited the spot where the ACF was allegedly attacked by a group of tourists from Bagalkot. They held discussions with Subhash Gudimani, additional SP, Uttara Kannada, and other local officials.

Meanwhile, the alleged delay by the Dandeli police in sending information about the arrest of Aravind Chauvan, an employee of the Dandeli City Municipal Corporation, and his wife Shailaja Chauvan, and Anand Sign, an engineer with KPTCL, has kicked up a row.

All the three are government servants and are in the custody of police on the charges of murdering Madan Nayak. Friends and relatives of Nayak have alleged that the Dandeli rural police have deliberately withheld the information about their arrests from the government departments concerned. They said that it is mandatory on the part of the police to give information about the arrests to the respective departments.

DK Shivakumar, deputy director of education, Sirsi education district, said the police have not given information about the arrest of Shailaja Chauvan, a teacher, to the BEO of Haliyal taluk. Once the information is received, the department will act as per rules, he said.

The officials of Dandeli City Municipal Council said that police should have sent a copy of FIR and information of arrest of Aravind Chauvan to CMC officials. Even four days after the arrest of Aravind, no such information had come from police. ``Once the police inform us about the arrest, we will the inform deputy commissioner who will take action,'' the CMC sources said.

Sub-inspector of police Dandeli Rural station Praveen Nilammanavar said all papers about the arrests had been forwarded to the departments concerned on Thursday itself and would reach them on Friday.

Bengaluru, Feb 27: A notorious history-sheeter named Slum Bharath was killed in an encounter with the police here in the wee hours of Thursday.

According to police, Bharath's associates attacked the police vehicle carrying him at around 2 am and fired two rounds at officers and police officials.

Bharath managed to flee with his associates in a car. 

He was later nabbed after the special team was informed at around 5 am that the accused's car was moving towards Hesaragatta near Soladevanahalli.

Bharath succumbed after he was shot by senior police officer Venkataramanappa who responded to his open firing. He was the prime accused in the murder of history-sheeter Srinivas alias Kulla Seena in 2006.

Bengaluru, Feb 12: Karnataka Sanghatanegala Okkoota, a congregation of various pro-Kannada organisations, has called for a state-wide bandh in Karnataka on Thursday (13 February 2020) demanding reservation in jobs for Kannadigas in both government and private sectors.

The Karnataka bandh, which will begin from 6 am to 6 pm, is likely to impact life in Bengaluru as well as in other parts of the state. Interestingly, Ola and Uber drivers have also extended support to the bandh. 

In Bengaluru, some other drivers’ associations, including Jai Bharatha Vehicle Owners and Drivers Association and Adarsha Auto and Taxi Union have also supported the bandh.

It is not yet clear as to whether the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) staff and workers associations will back Thursday’s bandh.

Several other organisations like the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC), Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), and Lorry Owners Association have supported the February 13 bandh.

In view of the bandh call, schools, colleges and hospitals across Karnataka are likely to remain closed on Thursday.

The Sarojini Mahishi report, which in 1984 suggested that Kannadigas should be given some reservation in jobs in private companies, public sector undertakings and multinational companies, is yet to be implemented.

It is to be noted that Sarojini Mahishi, a four-time MP and Janatha party leader, was appointed by the Ramakrishna Hegde government to head the panel in 1983. The committee submitted an interim report in June 1984. However, a final report was tabled in December 1986 with 58 recommendations, of which the Karnataka government had accepted 45.
