Mangalore, January 18: The federation of Gram Panchayat presidents, vice-presidents and members on Wednesday demanded suspension of the police inspector and the personnel for carrying out lathicharge on innocent schoolchildren and the president of the Bajpe Gram Panchayat Shahul Hameed.

Speaking to reporters here Surendra Kambali, president of the union, threatened to launch a stir in front of the chief minister's office if immediate action was not taken against Circle Inspector Dinakar Shetty and his colleagues, who according to him, caned the young children and Mr. Hameed, who were staging a protest against the PWD personnel's bid to remove the humps in front of the Ansar English Medium School.

Since the existing humps had come off and the Gram Panchayat had decided to lay new humps. The PWD personnel had arrived at the venue to remove the existing humps before laying the new humps. The residents and the Gram Panchayat president had insisted that the humps should not be removed before the new humps had been put up. This had led to verbal exchange and the schoolchildren and the local residents had blocked the movement of vehicle in protest against the PWD's move.

But, in his bid to defuse the situation, Mr. Shetty ordered lathicharge which resulted in injuries to Mr. Hameed and several students of the Ansar school. The injured are Pavan Shetty, Shahir Anash, Naheem Hussain, Mohammed Shalim, Ismail Shafeeq and Mohammed Nabeer. They are Class 6,7 and 8 students of the school and are currently undergoing treatment, said Mr. Kambali.

Condemning the 'police brutality' he urged the government to immediately suspend the concerned officer and the policemen.

S.A. Razak Soorinje, secretary of the union, Raghu K. Ekkaru, president of Ekkaru Gram Panchayat, Narayana Bodhi, president Malavoor Gram Panchayat and U.P. Ibrahim, president of Gurupur Gram Panchayat and A.K. Abdul Sathar, former president of the he federation of Gram Panchayat presidents were present at the press meet.

On Tuesday, a delegation of Muslim Central Committee had met the State Human Rights Commission Chairman S.R. Nayak in Mangalore and demanded action against the guilty police officer and the staff.

Bengaluru, Jun 18: The Karnataka police has arrested a German national wanted for kidnapping and causing bodily harm to a person in his home country, an official said on Wednesday. The person was also found to be overstaying on an expired visa, which police said that it appeared that the visa had been tampered with to look more current.

"On receipt of credible information by the CID Interpol Division officers, the Red Corner Notice subject, the German national Alexander Bruno Wehnelt, was traced at Hulimangala village," a police official told media persons.

Hulimangala is on the outskirts of Bengaluru city.

Alexander, 55, escaped from Germany and took shelter in Bengaluru.

The Interpol Division of CBI NCB (Central Bureau of Intelligence, Narcotics Control Bureau) in New Delhi had communicated to the Interpol liaison officer in Karnataka's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) about Alexander, directing extensive search measures to trace the criminal at large.

The Narcotics Control Bureau of Wiesbaden in Germany was on the hunt for Wehnelt for the crimes he committed in 2015, and have finally found him five years later.

"A special team of officers was constituted by the CID - Interpol division under the supervision of ADGP (Additional Director General of Police) B. Dayananda and the Interpol liaison officer and efforts were made to trace the subject," said the official.

On Monday, the police received credible information leading to his arrest.

"It was learnt that his visa had expired in 2016 and he tried to show a visa which was issued in December 2019 which had expired on Saturday, June 13," said the official.

Prima facie, it appeared that Alexander had tampered with his visa and the police are probing on that front as well.

He was handed over to Hebbagodi Police Station in Bengaluru Urban, for his overstay and a criminal case has been registered against him, under the Foreigners Act.

Bengaluru, Mar 7: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday said that the Upper Krishna Project (UKP) will be completed within the next three years.

Speaking in the Assembly, the Chief Minister said: "After discussing with the officials of the finance department, we have decided to allocate Rs 10,000 crore funds for the third phase of UKP. This project will be completed within a span of three years."

Yediyurappa also said that the government will hold talks for additional funds from the Central government.

The leader of Opposition, Siddaramaiah, interrupted and said that the CM has announced this just to gain the confidence of MLAs from north Karnataka.

"The government could have announced it in the budget itself or else the Chief Minister could have announced it at the time of discussion on the budget. Where are the funds with the government to complete the project? CM has announced this just to gain the confidence of MLAs who hail from north Karnataka," said Siddaramaiah.

Deputy Chief Minister Govinda Karajol while speaking to the media welcomed the Chief Minister's statement and said that the earlier government didn't allocate a single penny in the last seven years he added.
