Mangaluru, May 9: City based activist and rationalist Narendra Nayak on Monday filed a complaint with the Urwa Police about a threat to his life.

nayakIn his complaint, Mr. Nayak, who has been spearheading a movement seeking the arrest of those involved in the murder of RTI activist Vinayak Baliga, said that he was threatened by Shashank Shenoy during a chat session on Facebook on Monday afternoon.

The person, who is said to be a follower of Kashi Mutt, asked Mr. Nayak not to speak against Kashi Mutt seer Samyamindra Tirtha and the Venkataramana Temple.

Questioning Mr. Nayak for “putting [his] dirty hands into a tiger's mouth”, Shashank Shenoy is said to have told Mr. Nayak to treat it as a threat.

Mr. Nayak has, in his complaint, also made a mention of the derogatory comments by Goud Saraswat community members on his Facebook account for sharing a report of a local newspaper related to the investigation of Vinayak Baliga's murder.

The community members are said to have threatened Mr. Nayak saying that he would be thrown out of the Goud Saraswat community, he said. The Urwa Police have registered his complaint.

GSBs hurt

Members of the Goud Saraswat Brahmin community on Monday asked Police Commissioner M. Chandra Sekhar to take action against false reports in a section of media of the arrest of a close aide of Kashi Mutt seer Samyamindra Tirtha in connection with the murder of RTI activist Vinayak Baliga.

The members, led by S. Narayan, secretary of the Bengaluru Kashi Mutt Committee, said that they were hurt over the false reports maligning the seer.

It was wrong on the part of the media to report that Vishwanath Bhat, an aide of the seer, had been arrested. Such reports had hurt the community members, they said.

Ruling out any connection of the seer with the murder, Pandit Narasimhacharya, Tantri of Mangaluru's Venkataramana Temple, told reporters that they have sought action against all those behind the false reports maligning the mutt and the seer.

Bengaluru, May 20: Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) had to confront an unprecedented situation as there was a commotion at bus stands in various parts of the state due to the mad rush of passengers.

Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi, who is in charge of the transport department, admitted that there were some shortcomings in the arrangements. He, however, was confident that things would improve from Wednesday.

As against the dearth of passengers in the bus stands in Bengaluru a day ago, Wednesday witnessed an overwhelming crowd blaming BMTC authorities for not providing enough buses for all the destinations on time.

Some of the employees who were asked to report to duty before certain time were facing difficulty in reaching the office in the absence of bus despite having daily pass and arriving at the stand well in advance.

Authorities were finding it difficult to convince the public as a bus could ferry only 35 passengers at a time which was way less than the demand.
