Bengaluru: Former Bigg Boss Kannada contestant Tsunami Kitty and three of his associates abducted two people at gunpoint and threatened them to stay away from a friend’s wife.

The Jnanabharathi police on Friday arrested Tsunami Kitty alias Pradeepa, and his partners Arjun alias Muthappa (29), Santhosh alias Thuppa (24), and Yogesh (25) on various charges of kidnap, assault, and under the Arms Act.

Toushith Gowda, one of the kidnapped men working with a private firm, was in touch with the wife of Kitty's close friend. As his friend shared his anxiety about his wife getting cosy with another man, the actor and three associates decided to kidnap him, teach him a lesson and save his friend's marriage.

They contacted a man identified as Girish, a waiter at a bar-cum-restaurant. On February 28, as Girish stood near a shop at Doddabasti near Kengeri, the four men assaulted him, bundled him into a car and shut him in a room at a farm house in Horamavu.

While talking to Girish, the gang learnt that he used to reserve a table at the bar for Gowda and the wife of Kitty's friend.

Girish revealed Gowda's whereabouts and the gang snatched him in a different car from Goreguntepalaya near Peenya and locked him up with Girish at the farmhouse. Gowda denied having an affair with the woman, and told the gang that they were only friends.

The gang released Girish and Gowda after warning them at gunpoint not to report the incident to the police or anyone else.

On Friday, Girish approached the Jnanabharathi police and filed a complaint against Kitty and his associates.

New Delhi, Jun 11: The Department of Pharmaceuticals has given its nod for lifting of ban on the export of hydroxychloroquine, Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda said on Wednesday.

India had banned export of hydroxychloroquine on March 25, with some exceptions, amid views in some quarters that the drug could be used to fight COVID-19. On April 4, it completely banned the exports without any exception.

"Department of Pharmaceuticals has approved the lifting of ban on export of Hydroxychloroquine API as well as formulations. Manufacturers except SEZ/EOU Units have to supply 20 per cent production in the domestic market," the minister of chemicals and fertilisers said in a tweet.

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has been asked to issue formal notification in this regard, he added.

In another tweet, Gowda said he held discussions with representatives of pharma companies along with some of his ministerial colleagues on the challenges being faced by the industry and on the roadmap to boost exports.

"Had detailed discussion with representatives of pharma companies & association, stakeholder Ministries along with Hon Ministers @piyushGoyal  ji, @HardeepSPuri  ji, & @MansukhMandviya  ji on entire gamut of challenges faced by the industry as well as strategies to boost pharma export," Gowda tweeted.

India exported hydroxychloroquine API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) worth USD 1.22 billion in April-January 2019-20.

During the same period, exports of formulations made from hydroxychloroquine was at USD 5.50 billion.
