Hassan, Jan 19: In an apparent case of reckless riding, a local leader of Bajrang Dal died after falling off his two-wheeler near Arsikere on Wednesday night. While the police call it an accident, the Hindutva outfits have raised suspicion it was a murder.

According to sources, Sunil (28), Bajrang Dal district co-convenor, was returning from Guthinakere jathre on his motorbike, when he lost balance and met with an accident around 11.45 pm.

He is believed to have lost control of the two-wheeler due to over-speeding. He fell with the vehicle and sustained serious injuries to his left shoulder and head. He bled to death due to serious head injuries, said the police.

“Preliminary analysis of the scene suggests that he died in an accident. The damage caused to the two-wheeler and the injuries on his body suggest this,” said an Arsikere police source. Deputy Superintendent of Police Sadanand Tippannavar and Circle Police Inspector Siddarameshwar visited the spot.

However, the saffron activists and relatives of Sunil have alleged that it was a murder. They claimed that Sunil was actively involved in Bajrang Dal activities and was murdered as a result.

His father Ranganath, a former member of the Arsikere City Municipal Council, has filed a complaint with the Arsikere Rural Police. On his demand, the police shifted the body to Hassan, where the autopsy was done. The police also permitted the RSS workers to keep the body for public viewing at their office.

A case has been registered on charges of rash driving causing hurt or injury (Section 279 of the IPC) and causing death by negligence (304 A).

Bengaluru, May 2: Former chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah have urged the state government to arrange free-transport facilities to those stranded labourers and their family members to return their native places.

In a statement issued here on Friday, the former chief minister criticised the State Government for having decided to collect bur fare from them, ''three-times more than the regular fare''.

Stating that the migrant labourers, who had been stranded ever since lockdown had been clamped in the entire country are not in a position to pay for their travel, Siddaramaiah urged the state government to treat them with human face.

Bengaluru, Apr 28: A local court in Karnataka on Tuesday granted bail to a CRPF commando who was arrested by state police officials for alleged assault on them during COVID-19 lockdown duty, a charge contested strongly by the paramilitary.

The jawan has been taken to the jungle warfare training school of the paramilitary force in Belagavi district, a senior official said.

Constable Sachin Savant of the 207th CoBRA battalion was granted regular bail by a court located in Chikodi taluka of the district, he said.

A team of CRPF and CoBRA officials were present in the court during the proceeding during which the state police did not oppose the bail, the official said.

The commando was arrested by police on April 23 from Examba village (Belagavi district) when he was washing his bike outside his house without wearing a mask, as required under the coronavirus prevention protocol.

An altercation and physical fight took place between the two sides, following which the trooper was taken to the local police station and arrested.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) had on Monday taken up the case with the Karnataka director general of police (DGP), calling the incident "unpleasant".

The CRPF letter said commando Savant was "manhandled, ill-treated, paraded to the police station barefooted, kept in chains and handcuffs" by police personnel and sought the intervention of state Director General of Police Praveen Sood.

The paramilitary had said that from the scrutiny of a viral video on social media of the incident "it is apparent that the conduct of the police personnel was not citizen-centric".

A police report had said the CoBRA commando "started the altercation" with the beat constable and another policeman accompanying him, and "assaulted" them.

As per the official Twitter handle of the Karnataka DGP's on Monday evening, "IGP (inspector-general of police) Belagavi has been asked to enquire into the incident involving the CRPF constable and action will be taken against guilty after receipt of the report".

The Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) unit of the CRPF specialises in guerrilla tactics and jungle warfare.
