Bengaluru, Aug 14: Sandalwood actor Komal was allegedly assaulted by a biker in a road rage incident near Sriramapura railway underbridge on Tuesday evening.

Malleswaram police detained the alleged assaulter, Vijay, sales supervisor with a private company and Sriramapura resident.

Actor-politician Jaggesh’s younger brother, Komal started his film career as a cbefore switching to lead roles. His latest movie, Kempegowda 2, released on August 9.

N Shashikumar, deputy commissioner of police (north), said the incident took place at 5pm when Komal was taking his daughter from their Malleswaram house to a nearby tuition centre in his car. The biker with a woman riding pillion overtook Komal’s car and this led to an argument.

The biker allegedly attacked Komal, who sustained minor injuries on his face. Passersby caught Vijay and took him to Malleswaram police station. “Preliminary probe revealed Vijay assaulted Komal in what appears to be an incident of road rage. We’ve detained Vijay,” Shashikumar said.

Malleswaram police said they will register a criminal case against Vijay, based on Komal’s statement. “We subjected Vijay to a medical test to check if he was under the influence of alcohol,” cops said.

Some passersby took a video of the incident which went viral in no time. The video shows Komal and the biker having a heated argument and passersby convincing Komal to get back into his car. Soon the actor is seen coming out of the vehicle and raising his hand at the biker, prompting the latter to hit back at Komal, who falls on the ground.

Jaggesh later told media that the incident took place because four bikers had refused to give way to his brother. “Three persons held Komal and the fourth assaulted him. They were under the influence of alcohol,” Jaggesh alleged.

Bengaluru,  Aug 4: Karnataka has seen a substantial increase in COVID-19 recovery rate, which was 5.67 per cent in the last week, state Medical Education Minister Dr. K Sudhakar said.

"Every day there is an increase in recovery rate which is higher by 9.17 per cent in Bengaluru city. The overall recovery rate of the state by Sunday evening was 42.81 per cent and it is 35.14 per cent in Bengaluru," the Minister wrote in a tweet.

Minister Sudhakar also directed officials to resolve the issue raised by a woman who had written to him about her struggle to take possession of the body of her father in St. Johns hospital, Madivala.

The hospital she claimed was charging money to hand over the body.

"It is inhuman on part of the hospital to refuse handover of the body. I came to know about this incident in the media and responded immediately to help out the woman," Dr. Sudhakar wrote in his tweet.

Karnataka has so far reported 74,598 active COVID-19 cases, according to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Kasaragod, Feb 17: A Kerala Muslim couple conducted the wedding of their Hindu foster daughter at a Bhagavathi temple in Kerala, scripting another tale of communal harmony at Kasaragod.

The wedding ceremony was held on Sunday.

The woman Rajeshwari tied the knot with Vishnu Prasad in the presence of family and friends belonging to both Hindu and Muslim communities.

Abdulla and Khadeeja adopted Rajeshwari after her father who worked at Abdulla's farm died. Rajeshwari's mother also passed away when she was a child.

Rajeshwari grew up alongside Abdulla and Khadeeja's three sons- Shameem, Najeeb and Shereef.

Earlier in January this year, cutting across the lines of religion, a mosque in Kerala's Kayamkulam hosted a Hindu marriage ceremony.

Mandya, Feb 9: A youth from Arechakanahalli village of Maddur taluk on Saturday allegedly committed suicide in Bengaluru after his lover got engaged to another man.

The body of the deceased, Darshan, was found hanging from the celising of his room in Bengaluru. According to Darshan's relatives, he was in love with a girl for the past few years.

Darshan had wanted to marry her, much to the chagrin of her parents, it is said.

The girl's parents had allegedly warned him of dire consequences if he did not stay clear from their daughter. In the meanwhile, she got engaged to another man.

Feeling left out, Darshan allegedly ended his life. In the suicide note, Darshan has held his lover and some of her relatives responsible for his death. He has also claimed that his family was facing death threat from her family.

There are rumours that Darshan might have been killed after he refused to stop seeing the girl. Though both the families are from the same community, their financial status, sources said, is different.

According to the relative of Darshan, the girl is a close relative to a former minister from Mandya district.

"There are reasons to suspect that Darshan might have been murdered, and a suicide note may have been planted at the crime spot.

A proper investigation should be conducted to unearth the truth," he said.
