Bengaluru woman, lover arrested for killing man, faking heart attack
Wife, lover arrested for allegedly murdering her husband, staging death as heart attack
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 9 (IANS) Two persons, including the wife of a deceased man, have been arrested for allegedly murdering him and staging his death as a heart attack to conceal the crime, Bengaluru Police said on Monday. The case came to light following an investigation into the death of a man at Doddathoguru on Bettadasanapura Main Road, within the jurisdiction of Electronic City Police Station. The deceased man's brother had lodged a complaint on October 12, stating that his elder brother had slipped and fallen while going to the bathroom and died following a heart attack. Based on the complaint, police registered an Unnatural Death Report (UDR) case and initiated an inquiry. After receiving the post-mortem examination report, police investigated the case from different angles and gathered further information. On November 5, police summoned one of the accused for questioning. During interrogation, he allegedly confessed to having an illicit relationship with the deceased's wife. According to the police, the deceased had come to know about their relationship and warned both of them. The two allegedly conspired to murder him, believing that he was an obstacle to their relationship. Police said the accused allegedly strangled the man and suffocated him by covering his nose and mouth during the early hours of October 12. To conceal the alleged murder, the accused allegedly told family members and others that the man had slipped and fallen while going to the bathroom before suffering a heart attack, police said. Following the confession of the first accused, police took the deceased's wife into custody from her residence in Doddathoguru on November 6. During questioning, she allegedly confessed to her involvement in the crime. The UDR case was subsequently converted into a murder case, police said. Both accused were produced before a court on November 6 and sent to seven days of police custody. Further investigation is underway. The operation was carried out under the guidance of Deputy Commissioner of Police, Electronic City Division, M. Narayana, and Assistant Commissioner of Police, Electronic City Division, K.M. Satish. The case was detected by a team led by Electronic City Police Station Inspector Azruddin. In another case, Kengeri police have arrested a man for allegedly murdering a 65-year-old woman while she was sleeping in front of a temple in Bengaluru and robbing her of cash and jewellery. The victim, identified as Narayanamma, was found dead in front of the Pataladamma Temple at Vrushabhavathi Nagar Layout in Konasandra on November 3. Police said Narayanamma had left her home due to family problems and had been sleeping outside the temple at night for several days. A local resident noticed her body and informed her son, who identified her. Based on his complaint, police initially registered an Unnatural Death Report. However, the post-mortem report and information gathered during the investigation indicated that Narayanamma had been murdered and robbed. A murder case was subsequently registered on November 5. Police apprehended a suspicious person in Vrushabhavathi Nagar Layout on November 6. During interrogation, he allegedly confessed to the crime. According to police, the accused, allegedly facing a shortage of money to support his habits, targeted Narayanamma after noticing that she was sleeping alone. He allegedly covered her mouth, assaulted her, and robbed her of cash and a gold ring before fleeing. Police said the accused was previously involved in NDPS and robbery cases registered at Girinagar and Cottonpet police stations. Further investigation is underway.

Bengaluru mass murder case: Police search Shiradi Ghat forest for two more bodies
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 9 (IANS) Police teams have launched a search operation in the dense forest region of Shiradi Ghat spread across Karnataka's Hassan and Mangaluru districts for the bodies of two more victims in the alleged seven-member family murder case, based on the information provided by the accused, Indushekar. The police team, accompanied by the accused, reached Shiradi Ghat on Monday and began searching for the bodies of his brother-in-law Shankar and sister-in-law Nalini. Police have so far recovered five bodies, including that of a 10-year-old boy, while the search for the remaining two victims is continuing. According to the police, the bodies of Indushekar's wife Sunitha and mother-in-law Roopavathi were traced near Tamil Nadu's Salem. The bodies of his brother-in-law Shivakumar and sister-in-law Divya were recovered from two locations in the gorges beside the road at Chamundi Hills in Mysuru. The body of 10-year-old Puneeth was found near Nandi Hills on the outskirts of Bengaluru. At Chamundi Hills, one body was found close to the roadside, while the other had fallen into a deep gorge. Both bodies were retrieved and sent for a post-mortem examination. Police said the accused had selected a viewpoint along the road to dispose of the bodies. The stretch witnesses heavy two-way traffic every day, and parking is prohibited there. However, space is provided for vehicles during emergencies. Warning boards have been installed, stating that a fine of up to Rs 1,000 would be imposed for unauthorised parking and entering the forest area. Meanwhile, investigators have found that Indushekar allegedly planned the murders in advance and procured materials required for carrying them out from shops in the surrounding areas. He had purchased packing materials, adhesive tape, chemicals, and plastic gunny bags from shops at the Yeshwanthpur RMC Yard. The chemicals were allegedly used to remove bloodstains after the murders. Police have collected CCTV footage from the shops and other locations as part of the investigation. They have examined around 200 CCTV recordings and are now focusing on footage between October 14 and November 3 to establish the accused's movements and the sequence of events. Indushekar, also known as Indu Shekar or Sekar, was arrested by the Rajajinagar police for the alleged murders of seven members of his wife's family. The victims include his wife Sunitha, mother-in-law Roopavathi, brothers-in-law Shivakumar and Shankar, sisters-in-law Divya and Nalini, and Puneeth, the son of Shankar. The murders are suspected to have taken place over a period of around 20 days, between October 14 and November 3. Investigators suspect that the accused brought his relatives to his house in the Rajajinagar-Bhashyam Circle area on the pretext of family gatherings before allegedly killing them and transporting their bodies to different locations. Police are also investigating the alleged role of the accused's 17-year-old daughter in the case. A 10-year-old boy reportedly survived the incident. The investigation is continuing, with police teams searching for the remaining two bodies at Shiradi Ghat and examining CCTV footage and other evidence to establish the sequence of the alleged murders.

Priyank Kharge neglecting Ktaka, busy with Kerala political campaigning: BJP
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 9 (IANS) BJP State President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra on Monday accused Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge of neglecting mounting law-and-order concerns in the state and travelling to Kerala to allegedly spread false narratives and make political statements before a Muslim Youth League audience. Vijayendra also shared a video of Priyank Kharge's speech. In a statement, Vijayendra questioned the Home Minister's priorities, citing the delivery of knives to the official residence of Dalit Opposition Leader Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, the alleged sting operation targeting a former Chief Minister and serious concerns over police accountability. He said these incidents required the immediate attention of the Home Minister. However, Priyank Kharge appeared more interested in playing judge, jury and executioner than discharging the responsibilities of his constitutional office, Vijayendra alleged. He also criticised the Home Minister for promising at a political rally in Kerala that those accused in the Gauri Lankesh and M.M. Kalburgi murder cases would be put behind bars within six months. Vijayendra said such statements raised serious questions about the Home Minister's respect for judicial independence, pointing out that trials and decisions on the guilt of accused persons were the responsibility of courts and should not be influenced by political pronouncements at campaign platforms. Referring to the murders of journalist Gauri Lankesh and scholar M.M. Kalburgi in 2017 and 2015, respectively, Vijayendra said both incidents had taken place when the Congress was in power in Karnataka. The same Congress that failed to prevent these heinous murders now wants to lecture others on justice and accountability, he said. Questioning the Congress government's handling of law and order, Vijayendra asked Priyank Kharge to answer for the failures of his own party in Karnataka before pointing fingers at others and delivering political sermons in Kerala. He further maintained that the Home Minister should concentrate on addressing the state's security concerns rather than making political statements outside Karnataka. Justice cannot be a political weapon, and the Home Minister's office is not a platform for settling political scores, Vijayendra said.

Ktaka govt committed to protect all religions: Shivakumar
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 9 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Monday said the government stands as the voice of minority communities and is committed to protecting their interests while ensuring equal respect and security for all religions within the constitutional framework. He announced that a separate meeting would be convened next week to hear and address the issues faced by minority religious communities, besides providing additional grants to support the activities of the Karnataka Urdu Academy. Speaking after inaugurating the annual awards presentation, book release and 'Jashn-e-Urdu' programme organised by the Karnataka Urdu Academy at Puttanna Chetty Town Hall in Bengaluru, Shivakumar said consultations would be held with leaders and legislators belonging to various minority communities, including Christians, Muslims, Jains and Buddhists. The views and grievances of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe legislators will also be heard. We are organising these meetings to understand the issues and find solutions, he said. He said fulfilling the promises made in the election manifesto and commitments given to different communities on various occasions was the government's responsibility. Our objective is to resolve issues without hurting anyone's sentiments and by respecting the feelings of all communities. We will protect the rights and dignity guaranteed under the Constitution, he added. Stating that the government had discussed the need for additional grants to the Urdu Academy with the concerned ministers, Shivakumar said the requirements of the academy would be examined and necessary assistance provided. The government will extend its support to the growth of Urdu language, literature and culture, he said. Referring to the importance of the Minorities Welfare Department, the Chief Minister said differences in opinion among certain sections should not become a reason to discontinue the department. Some people may not have faith in minority communities. However, just because others do not have faith, we cannot shut down the department. Our government is committed to protecting the interests of minorities and raising its voice on their behalf. We will ensure that no community faces injustice, he said. Emphasising the government's commitment to constitutional values, Shivakumar said the government would function strictly within the framework of the Constitution. Rahul Gandhi and all of us took our oath of office holding the Constitution in our hands. Protecting the Constitution and upholding its principles by ensuring equal respect and protection for all castes and religions is our commitment, he said. Describing Urdu as a language that transcends religious and community boundaries, Shivakumar said it was not confined to any particular community but was a language of the heart. Urdu has the power to touch people's hearts through literature, poetry and shayari. The language has no boundaries and has earned recognition across the world. Everyone should respect the Urdu language and culture, he said. Recalling his participation in an Urdu shayari programme during the Mysuru Dasara celebrations, he said he had spent nearly an hour listening to poetry and found the experience enriching. Interestingly, the programme was attended not only by Muslims but also by people belonging to Jain and Brahmin communities, Kannadigas and Hindi-speaking people. People from different religions and linguistic backgrounds listened to Urdu shayari with great interest. This is an excellent example of how language can bring people together, he said. He stressed that knowledge should be respected irrespective of the language in which it was expressed and cautioned against showing disrespect towards any language, including English. Language is a medium of communication. Everyone should love and respect their mother tongue and understand the importance of their mother and mother tongue, he said. 'Let us unite people like a needle, not divide them like scissors' Calling for harmony among communities, Shivakumar said human emotions were the same despite differences in languages. Our caste is humanity, and our religion is humanity. Iron can be used to make both scissors and needles. We do not need to do the work of scissors that cut things apart. Instead, let us work like needles that stitch things together. Our government and party will work to unite society. We do not want to divide people, he said. The Chief Minister also congratulated 20 achievers who were honoured for their contributions to Urdu language, literature and culture. He appreciated the academy's efforts to promote Urdu through various programmes and initiatives.
Tanvi Patri credits China, India training for historic Youth Olympics silver
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 9 (IANS) India's historic Youth Olympics silver medallist Tanvi Patri credited her early training in China and subsequent development at the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy in Bengaluru for shaping her game, while revealing that illness had restricted her preparations to just two days of practice before her campaign in Dakar. The 15-year-old became the first Indian women's singles player to win a silver medal at the Youth Olympic Games after going down to reigning world junior champion Zhang Yi Xin in a thrilling final in Dakar, Senegal, on November 5. Patri saved six match points and had three opportunities to seal the gold medal herself before eventually losing 15-21, 21-13, 26-24 in an hour and 22 minutes. Her achievement followed individual silver medals by HS Prannoy in 2010 and Lakshya Sen in 2018. Speaking to IANS, Patri recalled how her badminton journey began in China, where her father worked with Nike China, and she accompanied him to a club where he played. She said the training environment and emphasis on technique helped her develop the foundations of her game. Preparation in China because I went to China. Like my dad used to work there for Nike China. So then my mom and I also went to China with him. And then the training and all was really good. Like the coaches and all really focused on the technique and yeah, they've also helped me a lot in the game and all, she said. Patri moved back to India around 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and initially trained in Odisha for around one-and-a-half years before joining the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy in Bengaluru. She said the coaches at the academy helped her improve her speed and also supported her through a series of injuries. And then I think I moved to India in 2020 or something. I don't remember the year for COVID. And then I was training in Odisha for like one and a half years. And then I moved to the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy. So here also, the coaches have really helped me a lot in improving my speed and all. And then I got injured. I had a knee injury first and then hamstring and then back injury this year in like February something. So yeah, they have taken care of me when I was injured also, she said. Her preparations for the Youth Olympics were further disrupted by illness following the World Junior Championships in Egypt. Patri said she was still recovering from fever after returning to India and had to take a complete week's rest before getting only two days of training ahead of the competition in Dakar. Because before going for the World Junior Championships, I was sick. Like when I reached Egypt for the World Junior Championship, I was sick. And then I couldn't perform well in that tournament. So, when I came back to India also still that fever impact and all was there. So, for like one week, I took complete rest. And then I just practised for like two days. And then I went to Dhaka for the Youth Olympic Games. So, yeah, I am happy with my performance there. And I hope I play well in the future tournaments also, she said. Patri also spoke about the difference in conditions between India and Dakar, saying the heat, humidity, and absence of air-conditioning made the stay challenging, although she did not face any major difficulty adjusting to a different country. Conditions like from India to Dakar, yeah, it was a bit tough. Because there was no AC, it was hot and humid there. And then yeah, like there were no challenges in moving from one country to another. Just like once you come back from one country, there is jet lag, which goes away in two to three days. But yeah, there are no such conditions I faced in moving from one country to another, she said. In the final, Patri took time to settle before producing a strong recovery in the opening game. After trailing 3-5, she won seven consecutive points to move ahead 10-5, using her punch tosses effectively and controlling the net to take the first game 21-15. She began the second game with a 4-0 lead, but the drift from the far end affected her control on the clears. Zhang capitalised after the mid-game interval to win 21-13 and force a decider. The Chinese shuttler then built a commanding 19-10 lead in the third game with her cross-court drops. Patri fought back to reduce the deficit to 15-19, but an error on a cross-court smash gave Zhang five match points. The Indian saved all five and subsequently had three opportunities to close out the match, but Zhang's experience proved decisive as she eventually converted her sixth match point to claim the gold.

50 pc concession in regularisation fees for unauthorised houses on BDA land: Shivakumar
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 9 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Monday announced a 50 per cent reduction in regularisation fees for unauthorised buildings constructed on land acquired by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) before July 10, 2008, providing relief to nearly one lakh property owners. He said the government had already issued a notification for regularising such buildings and decided to offer a 50 per cent concession on the fees fixed by the previous government. Addressing a press conference after chairing a review meeting on BDA projects at the authority's office in Bengaluru, Shivakumar said several new development initiatives had been planned to mark the BDA's 50th anniversary, including the provision of land guarantees to property owners without proper ownership documents. The facility has already been introduced through an amendment to Section 38(D) of the Act. Applications can be submitted before December 17, 2026. Those eligible must apply within the stipulated period and make use of the opportunity. If the facility is not availed of within the two years, the buildings constructed on BDA land will be cleared, he said. He said the previous government had introduced the provision to provide property rights to nearly one lakh owners who had constructed houses before 2008 and had fixed the regularisation rates in 2021. However, as the fees were high, only around 600 people had submitted applications. Considering the response, we have reduced the fees by 50 per cent and provided another opportunity. The government has introduced this facility to ensure clean administration through Clean BDA and provide transparent governance to Bengaluru residents, he said. Explaining the revised fee structure, Shivakumar said that, excluding corner sites, properties measuring up to 20x30 feet would be charged five per cent of the prevailing guidance value. For sites measuring above 20x30 feet and up to 30x40 feet, the fee would be 12.5 per cent; above 30x40 feet and up to 40x60 feet, 20 per cent; and above 40x60 feet and up to 50x80 feet, 25 per cent of the guidance value. He said the revised rates were 50 per cent lower than those fixed by the previous government and urged eligible property owners to submit applications along with the required documents within the stipulated deadline. The Chief Minister said the BDA had initiated the process of allotting 30x40 feet sites for every acre of land voluntarily surrendered without litigation by landowners in areas including Kempegowda Layout and other locations. The process of providing sites as a special incentive has been pending since 2014. Applications have to be submitted under the provisions of the 1989 Act, following which the price will be determined. As a mark of gratitude to farmers who have given their land, we have established a Wall of Gratitude. This is the first such initiative in the history of the country, he said. He also said that allotment of sites to farmers who had surrendered land for the Shivaram Karanth Layout had been completed transparently in a single day, which was a first in the history of the BDA. Shivakumar said the BDA had decided to allot marginal land available behind or adjacent to sites already allotted by the authority. Beneficiaries interested in acquiring such marginal land can submit applications before December 17, 2026. The law permits allotment of such additional land measuring up to 600 square feet, and eligible site owners can avail themselves of the facility, he said. To facilitate property owners whose lease periods have expired, the BDA will organise a Clean Sale Deed Mela to register absolute sale deeds. Shivakumar said BDA sites are generally allotted with a lease period of 10 years. After the completion of the lease period, beneficiaries are required to submit the necessary documents and obtain an absolute sale deed for their properties. However, due to various reasons, nearly 20,000 allottees have not obtained absolute sale deeds despite the expiry of their lease periods. To facilitate these allottees, we are organising a Clean Sale Deed Mela. Applications along with the necessary property documents can be submitted before December 17, 2026. The BDA will take steps to register the absolute sale deeds within 60 days of receiving the applications, subject to the applicable rules, he said. Marking the authority's 50th anniversary, the government has also drawn up plans to construct a well-equipped, multi-purpose BDA building spread across one lakh square feet, Shivakumar added.

Have no rift with Siddaramaiah: Shivakumar
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 9 (IANS) Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said on Monday that there is no rift between him and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. There is neither a big rift nor a small rift between former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and me. Some people are trying to create an atmosphere suggesting there is friction between us, he said. When asked if there was a disagreement between him and Siddaramaiah, he said, In politics, there must be detractors and opponents. Only when they are present can people like us engage in clean politics. Siddaramaiah is our leader. Some people, including respected seers, are portraying things differently in the media. We have already communicated to them what needed to be conveyed regarding these matters. Siddaramaiah is our leader. Local body elections are approaching, and since I needed to discuss several matters with him, I met him and extended festival greetings, he added while speaking to the media near Mekhri Circle and Town Hall in Bengaluru. When asked about the proposed elevated corridor and tunnel road project near Mekhri Circle, he stated, Whether we build a tunnel road, the opposition objects; whether we construct an elevated corridor, they object. They always think negatively. To resolve Bengaluru's traffic congestion, alternative routes must be created. We either have to build roads elevated above or construct tunnels underground. Can we widen roads by demolishing buildings? Defence land has been requested to widen roads in certain parts of Bengaluru. I have already appealed to the Defence Minister to grant the land located at the corner near Mekhri Circle. If that land is made available, we can bring about a major change in the traffic system there. A rotary circle and ring system will be designed in the model of a circle within a circle. Provision will be made so that those heading left go left, and those heading right go right. Along with providing space for traffic on the upper level, tunnel roads will also be utilised where necessary, he explained. Traffic will not be completely halted at any point during the execution of the work. The traffic police have already inspected the plan. Recently, the BDA Chairman also conducted a site inspection. I have visited the spot myself and instructed officials to assess which sections are experiencing high traffic congestion. During the construction work, only certain large vehicles and cargo vehicles will be temporarily restricted at specific times. Movement of other vehicles will not be stopped, he clarified. Alternative roads are being developed so that the public is not inconvenienced by the construction work. This will cost approximately 9 crore. The BDA is already preparing to undertake the development of surrounding connecting roads, he said. Responding to a question on how the public would be taken into confidence given that minor issues naturally arise during development works, he said, There is no need to convince those who oppose for the sake of opposing. It seems a section of people has decided to oppose whatever I do. Did the BJP do any such work when they were in power? Has the JDS executed any such development work? Some people have resolved to oppose whatever D.K. Shivakumar does, and they are opposing everything. Recently, while travelling in a helicopter, I inspected the location related to the tunnel road project. Near Lalbagh, where the tunnel road passes, there is a large crater, and there is a variation between the rocky area and the point where the tunnel exits. In light of this, officials have been directed to arrange an alternative plan so that no issues arise, he stated. Speaking on the opposition's pushback, he criticised, It seems the opposition party's only job is to oppose. Oppose development, oppose every single work. They are unable to tolerate the speed of our government's development work. They are unable to digest our pace of development. Answering a query on whether the new project will be integrated into the already constructed elevated corridor or built separately, he said, This will be a separate project. Both projects will function in their own ways. A separate system is being designed to maintain traffic speed and smooth vehicular movement. To a question on whether there would be a provision connecting the next section of the elevated corridor to the tunnel road, he replied, There will be a provision to exit the tunnel road and proceed via the elevated road. However, this is not a 16-kilometre-long tunnel road. That is a separate project. What is being proposed now is a short tunnel road. Keeping in mind the traffic congestion occurring in the Hebbal region, this short tunnel road project is being planned. Alternative connectivity is being provided so that after traffic flows smoothly in one area, congestion does not build up again in the next section, he said.

Shivakumar meets Siddaramaiah amid sting operation row, discusses party affairs
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 9 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Monday met former Chief Minister and Congress Working Committee member Siddaramaiah at his Cauvery residence in Bengaluru and extended Deepavali greetings amid the ongoing sting operation controversy. Political Secretary A.S. Ponnanna was also present during the meeting. Speaking to reporters later, Shivakumar said Siddaramaiah was their leader and that there were several issues to be discussed with him, including party affairs, local body elections and matters concerning MLAs. Siddaramaiah is our leader. There are many issues that I needed to discuss with him. There are also several matters to be discussed in the future concerning a few MLAs. There are certain court orders relating to SC/ST issues. All MLAs have been called, and I will also call MLAs belonging to other communities later. The party needs to take a decision on these matters. Local body elections are also approaching, and these issues need to be discussed, he said. On a delegation of progressive thinkers meeting Siddaramaiah to urge the implementation of the caste census, Shivakumar said the government would act in accordance with the party's commitment. What is our party's commitment regarding the caste census? We will implement it accordingly. There is nothing more to it. The party has its commitment, and we are also watching the court proceedings, he said. Commenting on Tamil Nadu Chief Minister's letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi opposing the proposed Mekedatu project, Shivakumar said the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister might not have gone through the Supreme Court order. I think the Chief Minister might not have seen the court order. I hope his officers will guide him. Karnataka will use the water only for drinking purposes for Bengaluru and power generation. I request them to visit the site and understand that this reservoir will benefit them, not us, he said. He said the Supreme Court had already issued a clear order on the matter and asserted Karnataka's right to construct the dam while acknowledging Tamil Nadu's right to receive its share of water.

Congress stages protests at petrol pumps across Bengaluru over alleged excess ethanol blending
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 9 (IANS) Congress workers staged protests at multiple petrol pumps across Bengaluru on Monday, opposing the alleged excessive blending of ethanol in petrol and demanding that the Centre ensure the supply of unblended fuel to consumers. Congress workers visited several petrol bunks carrying posters and raised slogans against the BJP-led Union government, alleging that motorists were being cheated through the blending of ethanol beyond the prescribed limits. Speaking during the protest, Congress leader Manohar said Rahul Gandhi had already raised the issue and urged the Union government to take action. However, the Centre had maintained that ethanol blending in petrol was limited to 20 per cent. Our state government got petrol samples tested in reputed laboratories, and the findings revealed that ethanol blending was as high as 32 per cent. The Congress has demanded that ethanol blending in fuel be stopped immediately and normal, unblended petrol be made available to consumers and motorists. The BJP government, which is itself involved in adulterated practices, is betraying consumers by allowing higher percentages of ethanol blending, he alleged. Meanwhile, BJP MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, speaking to the media, accused the Congress of diverting public attention from the issue of rising prices by repeatedly raising the ethanol blending controversy. The issue of ethanol blending has already been discussed. There is no truth in the allegations, and the Centre has provided explanations. Claims that engines would not function properly because of ethanol blending are also false. There is no need for further discussion on this issue, he said. The protests come amid a controversy over the Karnataka government's claim that petrol sold in the state contains up to 31.2 per cent ethanol. Public sector oil marketing companies -- Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) -- have rejected the claim, maintaining that E20 petrol supplied across the country, including Karnataka, complies with the Bureau of Indian Standards' IS 17021 specification. The oil companies and the Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry have also questioned the testing methodology adopted by the Karnataka government, stating that the findings were not based on the statutory and technical procedures prescribed under the Motor Spirit and High Speed Diesel Control Order, 2005, and the Marketing Discipline Guidelines, 2024. Responding to the joint statement issued by the oil companies, Karnataka Food and Civil Supplies Minister Rizwan Arshad had criticised their response, describing it as a cut-copy-paste response. He had said he would issue a detailed clarification and share the findings with the nation.

The Karnataka Legislature will host the first standalone conference of its kind in India in coordination with the Indian Parliament. The conference, to be inaugurated jointly by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, will focus on women's cyber safety, digital challenges and strengthening women's leadership in legislatures. The event will be held under the overarching theme, Safe Foundations, Strong Voices: Cyber Safety and Mentorship Pathways for New Women Legislators. Around 150 to 180 women representatives and legislators from various states and Union Territories are expected to participate. Leaders and representatives from international Commonwealth countries are also expected to attend the conference. Karnataka Legislative Assembly Speaker G.S. Patil on Monday said the state was happy to have been chosen to host the first-of-its-kind conference in the country. Karnataka is hosting this conference, which is the first of its kind in the whole of India. Women legislators from across the country are assembling in one place to discuss some of the important issues that women legislators are facing, he said. Patil said the proposal to host the conference in Karnataka was made by D. Purandeswari, who heads the India Region of the Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians. He said Karnataka was chosen in recognition of the work being undertaken by the state in the areas of women's welfare and development. Chief Minister Shivakumar had also readily agreed to support the event and directed the organisers to ensure its success, he added. Karnataka Legislative Council Chairman Salim Ahmed described the event as a historic occasion for the state and said the agenda of the conference would be decided by the Indian Parliament, while the Karnataka Legislature would serve as the host. This is the first conference for women in India. More than 150 delegates are going to participate. Even leaders from international Commonwealth countries are also going to come, Ahmed said. He said MPs and MLAs from across the country had been invited to participate in the conference. The event will focus on issues concerning women, including women's empowerment, leadership and the challenges faced by women representatives. The Lok Sabha Speaker, the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, along with Union ministers, state ministers, opposition leaders and legislators, are expected to attend the event. The Governor is scheduled to address the closing function. Ahmed said Karnataka had consistently supported women's empowerment through various initiatives, including programmes such as free bus travel for women. The message will be loud and clear about women's strength, women's empowerment and women's leadership, he said. A curtain-raiser programme is scheduled to be held on November 14, during which Purandeswari, along with the Chief Minister, the Speaker and other leaders, will launch the logo of the conference.

JLR raids BYD offices in escalating battle over China's alleged Defender lookalike
Court-appointed bailiffs seized digital records from BYD offices in the Netherlands in August as part of JLR's intellectual property dispute. BYD's seven-seat Ti7 is expected to launch in the UK in January at 47,995, compared with 68,465 for a Defender 110. Chinese carmakers are gaining ground in Britain, with the Jaecoo 7 becoming the country's best-selling car in October. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has stepped up its legal battle with Chinese automotive giant BYD after court-appointed bailiffs seized digital records from the rival's offices in the Netherlands over allegations that its new SUV copies the design and technology of the Land Rover Defender. The dispute centres on BYD's seven-seat Ti7 plug-in hybrid, which has attracted comparisons with the iconic British off-roader because of its boxy profile and rugged styling. The records were seized from BYD offices in Schiedam and Hoofddorp in August, following a court order obtained by JLR . The move was intended to secure potential evidence before it could be destroyed, according to reports. JLR reportedly suspects that BYD reverse-engineered elements of the Defender's technology for use in the Ti7. The Chinese manufacturer has challenged the seizure, with its legal representatives describing it as a fishing expedition. A hearing in The Hague this week will consider the dispute, including whether the evidence gathered can be used in the proceedings. Neither company has commented on the ongoing litigation, and no court has established that BYD infringed JLR's intellectual property rights. The timing is significant for both manufacturers. BYD is preparing to introduce the Ti7 to European markets, including the UK, in January, while JLR is seeking to protect one of its most recognisable and commercially important vehicle brands. Why is JLR challenging BYD over the Ti7? The Ti7 is a seven-seat plug-in hybrid SUV that has been on sale in China since September 2025. Its upright body, angular exterior and chunky proportions have drawn comparisons with the Defender, with some motoring publications describing it as a Chinese version of the British vehicle. The commercial challenge is difficult to ignore. BYD has confirmed a UK starting price of 47,995 for the Ti7, while the seven-seat Defender 110 starts at 68,465. That leaves a difference of more than 20,000, potentially making the Chinese model an attractive alternative for buyers looking for a large, rugged-looking SUV. BYD has described the Ti7's styling as an unapologetically boxy profile designed to appeal to SUV buyers. However, JLR's concerns reportedly go beyond the similarities in appearance. The company suspects that some of the Defender's underlying technology may have been reverse-engineered and incorporated into the competing vehicle. The Dutch court proceedings will be important in determining what evidence JLR can rely on as it pursues its claims. The company ultimately wants to prevent the competing model from entering the European market, but the legal process is unlikely to reach a final resolution before the Ti7's planned January launch. This is not the first time JLR has taken a Chinese manufacturer to court over alleged copying. In 2019, it won a three-year legal battle against Jiangling Motor Corporation over the Landwind X7, a vehicle found to infringe design rights associated with the Range Rover Evoque. The ruling stopped Jiangling from selling the model in China. For JLR, the latest dispute is about more than one competing SUV. It raises questions about how effectively established manufacturers can protect their designs and technology as Chinese brands expand into international markets. Are Chinese carmakers becoming a bigger threat to British brands? The legal dispute comes as Chinese manufacturers rapidly increase their presence in the UK. Their brands accounted for around 23 per cent of new vehicle registrations in September, according to figures reported by The Times. Competitive pricing, expanding model ranges and the growing availability of hybrid and electric vehicles have helped companies such as BYD, Chery, Omoda and Jaecoo attract British buyers. One of the most striking examples is Chery's Jaecoo 7, which has been nicknamed the Temu Range Rover because of its resemblance to JLR's luxury SUVs. The model recorded 10,813 registrations in October, making it Britain's best-selling car for the month, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. Its market share increased from 2.07 per cent to 4.30 per cent. The growing competition creates an interesting relationship between JLR and Chery . The two companies already have a commercial agreement involving the licensing of JLR's discontinued Freelander brand, which Chery is helping revive for a new generation of vehicles. Chery chairman Yin Tongyue has also hinted at ambitions to acquire a British automotive brand. Speaking to The Sunday Times, he said the company wanted to become more of a British brand and was looking to find a sports car company that we can help. His comments have fuelled speculation about a possible interest in Jaguar, although no acquisition proposal has been confirmed. The contrast is striking. While JLR is pursuing BYD over alleged intellectual property infringement, it has also been willing to work with Chinese manufacturers through partnerships and licensing arrangements. For Tata Motors-owned JLR, the challenge is to defend its distinctive brands without shutting itself off from the rapidly changing global automotive market. The Ti7 dispute could become an important test of how far established manufacturers can go to protect their designs as Chinese competitors move into increasingly similar market segments. But with the court yet to make a final finding and the launch approaching, the outcome remains uncertain.

Williamson recalls conversation with Kohli a day before retirement, says
Former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has revealed that he spoke to Indian batting star Virat Kohli a day before announcing his retirement from international cricket, describing the conversation as like looking in the mirror.
