The arrested constables have been identified as Raghav Kumar and Mayura attached to Girinagara police station in Bengaluru. Both of them were suspended after the arrest.

In her complaint, advocate Sukanya said that the two policemen, who were on the night beat on Saturday stopped her auto, and sought an explanation about the money she was carrying.

“I told them that it was for a friend. But, they asked me to accompany them to the police station. On the way to the station, I told them I was willing to talk to the deputy commissioner of police (DCP) or other senior officials,” the complaint said. The duo subsequently left Sukanya midway, and fled with the cash.

DCP, Bengaluru south, SD Sharanappa said that he would personally look into the incident. "We have registered a case under section 395 of the Indian Penal Code, which is dacoity against the two constables.

Primary investigation has revealed the involvement of another individual called Krishnamurthy, besides the two constables, who have been arrested. We have also recovered Rs 6.74 lakh from the duo," he said. He added that the investigation of the case had been handed over to the assistant commisioner of polic of Chamrajpet.

This is the proof that BD goons are employed in Police. Naren is missing. May be busy in sorting out the issue. Why are they arrested? Instead they need to arrest the lady who is carrying the money in the night- As per Naren. India is shining.

Bengaluru, Jul 18: Bringing a major change in the  administration of Bengaluru, which has emerged as a Covid-19 hotspot, the state government on Saturday transferred B H Anil Kumar out of the BBMP and brought N Manjunath Prasad to take his place. 

Manjunath Prasad, who headed the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) before being replaced by Kumar, will take over with immediate effect. The government has also placed him in concurrent charge of the Revenue Department as well as the Disaster Management, Bhoomi and UPOR.

Kumar, an Additional Chief Secretary, has been put in a place where earlier a secretary was posted. He now heads the Department of Public Enterprises. The posting would have brought him two spots down had it not been for the government upgrading it to the level of additional chief secretary. 

Anil Kumar, who was earlier praised for his work to contain the coronavirus pandemic, had faced criticism by the High Court of Karnataka for the BBMP's failure to help people in containment zones as well as other issues on the spread of the pandemic. 

Sources in the government said, pressure has been building up against Anil Kumar over the last two months after most of the Bengaluru MLAs complained to the chief minister's office.

"No MLA backed him. Everyone had a problem," a source said. 

Things came to the head with regard to a Rs 436 crore project given to KRIDL. "The issue reached the chief minister's office as all the MLAs took an issue with the way the project was awarded," a source said. 

Another source said that Kumar came under fire after a central team flagged the issue of failing Covid-19 surveillance measures in Bengaluru. The central team's criticism, it is widely believed in the government, came as the last straw.
