Bengaluru, Apr 27: The police registered a case against Nowhera Shaik, the founder of All India Mahila Empowerment Party after she was caught with Rs 3.94 lakh unaccounted for cash at HAL airport in Bengaluru recently.

Shaik, who is also the chief executive officer of Heera Group, a consortium of twenty companies with its headquarters at Hyderabad, had arrived at the HAL airport last sunday from Tirupati in a private aircraft.

Kushalappa D.T., assistant nodal officer, HAL subdivision, stated that when he carried out a search, Rs 3.94 lakh cash was found in the handbag belonging to Ms Shaik.

In his complaint, Kushalappa alleged that the businesswoman refused to divulge details of the source of the money. As the election code of conduct is in place, officials seized the cash and handed it over to the jurisdictional HAL police for further investigation.

The police have taken up a case under Section 98 of the Karnataka Police Act (possession of goods or anything which there is reason to believe is stolen property, or property fraudulently obtained).

Bengaluru, Jan 21: Controversial Mysuru ruler Tipu Sultan will remain in state-syllabus textbooks in the next academic year (2020-21) too. But the government will form another committee to look at the subject afresh.

"Efforts are on to give textbooks and uniforms the day schools open next academic year. After a discussion with the CM, we decided to not make any changes in the textbooks for the upcoming academic year,"said primary and secondary education minister S Suresh Kumar.

No political angle, says minister

However, we will form a committee to look into it again,” said the minister.

Three months ago, Madikeri MLA Appachu Ranjan had written to the minister seeking removal of contents on Tipu Sultan from Karnataka state syllabus books of classes 6,7 and 10. The minister said: “Appachu Ranjan is a five-time MLA. When he sent a letter, it’s my duty to seek an opinion on it. There’s no political angle here.”
