Why not a CBI probe into DySP's suicide, SC asks Karnataka

January 6, 2017

New Delhi, Jan 6: The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Karnataka government to explain why a CBI probe should not be ordered into the suicide of deputy superintendent of police M K Ganapathy on July 7 last year.

A bench of Justices Adarsh Kumar Goel and U U Lalit issued notice to the state government seeking their response within six weeks on a petition filed by M K Kushalappa, father of the deceased.

Senior advocate Jayant Bhushan, appearing for the petitioner, contended that the officer, posted at the office of Inspector General of Police, Madikeri, was being hounded by then Minister K J George and other senior officers.

The court agreed to consider the plea by asking the petitioner to delete the name of the minister and other senior police officers from the list of respondents in the special leave petition.

The petitioner has challenged the Karnataka High Court's order of October 19, declining a plea for a CBI probe.

“We are of the opinion that transferring of investigation must be in rare and exceptional circumstances only. All steps were taken for ensuring a fair investigation. Superior officers other than two accused police officers were appointed by the investigating agency and the DGP oversaw the investigation throughout,” a division bench headed by high court Chief Justice S K Mukherjee had said.

The court had also noted that then minister George had resigned to facilitate proper investigation at the relevant time. The high court had also declined to look into the closure report filed by the CID in the case.

Mangaluru, May 19: Officials at the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) said that Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada along with Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru have been alerted about possible heavy rains.

Dr GS Srinivasa Reddy, Director, KSNDMC, said, “Coastal districts have already been witnessing heavy downpour since Monday morning. This will continue for another two days depending on the cyclonic movement along the east coast.”

Until last evening, Haleyangadi and Surathkal in Dakshina Kannada district had received 83 mm and 82.5 mm of rainfall, respectively. Several other areas in Udupi also witnessed heavy rainfall of about 60 to 70 mm rainfall.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) attributed the rain, which intensified on Monday, to a cyclonic circulation over parts of the Arabian Sea (Comorin area) off the coast of Kerala.

The weather department said the sudden convergence of wind over the peninsular region was due to Super Cyclone Amphan, which is set to barrel into the east coast. The IMD issued an Yellow Alert for coastal Karnataka and Malnad, warning of moderate to heavy rainfall in the next few days.

Once again Bengaluru witnesses massive protest against CAA, NRC, NPR

News Network

January 21,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 21: A massive protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC), and National Population Register (NPR) was witnessed at Shivajinagar's Chandni Chowk area on Tuesday.

Scores of people came together carrying national flags and placards to register their protest in the city.

Speaking to ANI, a protester said, "People of all religious community have assembled here in Chandni Chowk to protest against CAA, NRC, and NPR. We the people of India are against this law."

Terming the law as anti-constitutional, he said that we support all the states who oppose the CAA. We demand the revocation of CAA and the government should remove conditions in NPR which lead to NRC.

CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist and Christian communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.
