Mangaluru, Sept 26: Two persons — a man and a woman — have been arrested by the Mangaluru city police on charge of blackmailing, abducting and robbing a senior citizen.

The arrested have been identified as Rajesh Pavithran, 34, resident of Kuttar and district president of the Hindu Mahasabha, and Srilatha, 30, Mangaluru taluk president of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike.

Police said that the two along with their gang recorded a 76-year-old businessman’s sexual act with women and threatened to release the video to the media if he did not heed their demand.

Srilatha called the man near Mangala Stadium, Ladyhill, on September 23. Upon the man’s arrival, Srilatha and four unidentified people kidnapped him. The man was locked at the residence of Pavithran in Surathkal.

Police said that the five demanded Rs 5 lakh each to hide the video. As the man refused to budge, the gang assaulted him and fleeced his gold chain weighing 4.5 sovereigns, two gold rings, a watch and Rs 18,000. The man then filed a complaint at Barke police station.

Police recovered the man’s belongings and the memory card which supposedly contains the video.

The accused were booked under various sections of the IPC on Tuesday. They were produced before a court which remanded them in judicial custody. More people are yet to be detained, police said.

Bengaluru, Apr 12: Former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Sunday appealed to the Central government to announce the rent rebate scheme for the benefit of tenants in the wake of economic activities coming to a grinding halt due to COVID-19 related lockdown.

In a series of tweets, Kumaraswamy said people are facing difficulty in paying rent as usual and hence the rent rebate scheme should be initiated.

"Many countries have already announced rent rebate scheme for tenants during COVID19 emergency. It is surprising that Indian Govt has not announced any such relief even to residential tenants. I urge the PM to immediately come to the rescue of everyone living in rented housing," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

He said a considerable workforce and students in metropolitan cities live in hostels and rented houses.

As all economic activity has come to a grinding halt, it is very difficult for them to pay the rent as usual.

The Prime Minister must announce rent rebate scheme, he added.

Highlighting the plight of the tenants, Kumaraswamy said, "If the landlords insist on rent, the tenants cannot even go searching for new accommodation due to the emergency. Hence the government intervention is essential. The PM must announce a comprehensive national rent rebate scheme for COVID-19 emergency."
