Ktaka: Prison DIG held over fake SC order used to free convict
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 5 (IANS) Parappana Agrahara police in Bengaluru have arrested Prison Department North Zone DIG Somashekar on charges of allegedly releasing a life-term prisoner from jail on the basis of a fake Supreme Court order, police said on Monday. Police are questioning Somashekar as part of the investigation into the alleged forgery and illegal release of the prisoner. The prisoner, identified as Shankar, was serving a life sentence in a murder case. According to the police, a fake document resembling a Supreme Court order was allegedly prepared in 2018 to facilitate his release from prison. Police have alleged that Srikanth, a Second Division Assistant (SDA), prepared the fake order. Shankar and Srikanth have also been arrested in connection with the case. At the time of the incident, Somashekar was serving as the Jail Superintendent of Parappana Agrahara Central Prison. Shankar, who had been convicted in the murder case, was released from the prison on November 13, 2018, allegedly based on the forged Supreme Court document. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the preparation and use of the fake order and the role of the accused in facilitating the prisoners release. Investigators are also looking into the possible involvement of the accused in other similar incidents and are examining whether any other prisoners may have been released using forged documents. Further questioning of Somashekar and the other accused is under way as police continue their investigation. It may be recalled that, according to data shared by then Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and former Home Minister G. Parameshwara, criminal cases were registered against 88 police personnel and officers in Karnataka for their alleged involvement in various criminal activities. Siddaramaiah had termed the involvement of police personnel in criminal cases as shameful and unpardonable. Parameshwara presented the official figures during a session of the state legislature, highlighting accountability within the force. Speaking at an annual conference of police officers, Siddaramaiah also expressed strong displeasure over criminal cases registered against members of the state police force. He referred to high-profile incidents, including an ATM cash van robbery in Bengaluru in which a head constable was allegedly identified as the kingpin. He also cited drug cases in Karnataka being cracked by police forces from other states instead of local law enforcement, which he had described as embarrassing. The state government had stated that it was examining stricter legal measures and seeking greater vigilance within the department to prevent such incidents.

Mandeep features alongside high-profile outstation recruits Hanuma Vihari and Swapnil Singh in the 18-member squad announced by the Tripura Cricket Association (TCA). Experienced seam-bowling all-rounder Mani Sankar Mura Singh will lead the team, with pacer Abhijit Sarkar, who was in the East Zone team that won this years Duleep Trophy, serving as the vice-captain.

Karnataka to reconsider cash awards for Asian Games medallists from state
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 5 (IANS) Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Youth Empowerment and Sports G. Parameshwara on Monday said the state government is reconsidering the cash awards for sportspersons by comparing them with the incentives offered by other states. Speaking to reporters near the West Gate of Vidhana Soudha, Parameshwara said he had already discussed the matter with Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and that the revised prize amounts would be announced on Tuesday. We are reconsidering the prize money given to sportspersons in the state by comparing it with other states. I have already discussed this with the Chief Minister. We will announce tomorrow how much prize money should be given to sportspersons, he said. Parameshwara said he had personally spoken to several successful athletes, including Poovamma, regarding the incentives being provided by the government. We tried to contact and congratulate Poovamma when she was in Japan, but we could not reach her at that time. Within an hour or two of her return to India, I contacted her and spoke to her. I have spoken not only to Poovamma but also to several other athletes, he said. He said the government had collected information about the cash awards being offered by other states and was examining the details. Sportspersons have told us that higher amounts are being given in other states. We have obtained that information and examined it. I have already discussed with the Chief Minister the need to reconsider the prize money in Karnataka, Parameshwara said. The Deputy Chief Minister said the Chief Minister and he would jointly announce the revised prize money to be offered to sportspersons on Tuesday. We will announce tomorrow how much the prize money should be increased, he said. It can be noted M.R.

She also felt disappointed that no state leaders or district officials called to congratulate her immediately after her win in Japan. She urged the state to improve support and increase financial incentives for future athletes. Chief Minister Shivakumar and Deputy Chief Minister Parameshwara contacted her over phone later, and CM Shivakumar invited her for a meeting to discuss enhancing the state's sports reward policies.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 5 (IANS) Karnataka Home Minister, Priyank Kharge, on Monday warned that those misusing Form-7 to seek deletion of eligible voters' names from electoral rolls would face legal consequences, questioning how bulk pre-printed forms were being obtained and submitted. Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, HM Kharge asked: If you misuse Form-7, if you possess pre-printed Form-7s in bulk, if you declare people who are alive as dead, and people who are residing here as non-residents, should we felicitate you? He questioned how such bulk, pre-printed forms were allegedly coming from BJP functionaries and said those violating electoral laws could not expect to escape action. If you are not following the law, I will teach you how to follow it. Why do you expect to flout the norms? How do you expect to flout the law of the land and expect that no cases will be registered against you? he said. HM Kharge said the issue was related to Karnataka and warned that violations of constitutional and electoral provisions would have consequences. This is not Gujarat, this is not Delhi, this is not UP. This is Karnataka. If you flout the Constitution, you will face consequences, he said. Responding to questions about action against BJP leaders and workers, including former MLAs, candidates, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) and non-BLOs, Kharge said cases were being pursued because of alleged harassment of the public. He questioned how thousands of pre-printed forms containing voters' names, addresses and other details were being obtained. He claimed that in some instances, people who were alive had been shown as dead and residents had been described as non-residents. HM Kharge said some individuals had subsequently approached authorities, including the Tahsildars of Chikkamagaluru, Bidar and Bhubaneswar, seeking withdrawal of the Form-7 applications, claiming they had been misinformed that the concerned persons were either dead or no longer residents. If they are doing the Election Commission's job themselves, then what was the SIR for? This was supposed to be a Special Intensive Revision. This has become a Sangh Intensive Revision, isn't it? he asked. He also alleged that members of certain communities were being disproportionately targeted through the Form-7 submissions. How is it that only one section of society is being targeted? How is it that only Muslims, Christians and Dalits are being targeted? Let the BJP answer this, he said. Kharge said the government was receiving individual complaints and that the matter could be examined by Returning Officers and the Chief Electoral Officer. Let them go to the CEO and explain how they got these pre-printed forms. Let them explain why their BLOs and their karyakartas are declaring people who are alive as dead. Why are they now apologising and withdrawing the Form-7s? Let them explain that first, he said. On National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah's remarks concerning the Election Commission, Kharge said the Election Commission was a constitutional body and noted that its role had also been debated in the Constituent Assembly. Referring to Dr B.R. Ambedkar's observations on the Constitution, HM Kharge said the Constitution could function effectively only when those governing under it acted responsibly. He said the Election Commission had earlier functioned effectively because it was headed by people who respected its institutional role, but claimed that the present Chief Election Commissioner had sold his soul to the BJP. On Congress leader Digvijaya Singh's remarks on Sanatana Dharma and the RSS, Kharge said there was a distinction between Hinduism and Hindutva. Digvijaya Singh Saab is a strong man. He is not against Sanatana. The RSS does not know the head or tail of this issue, he said. HM Kharge said Hinduism had existed for thousands of years, while the RSS was about a century old, and argued that the organisation could not claim to be the sole protector of the religion. There is a stark difference between Hinduism and Hindutva. Hindutva was started by the RSS group. Hinduism has been there for 3,000 years. So we have nothing to learn from them, he said.

Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge on Monday questioned the Election Commission of India's approach to testing the security of electronic voting machines (EVMs), arguing that political parties do not possess the technical expertise required to conduct a comprehensive vulnerability assessment of an electronic voting system. In a post on X, Kharge said the ECI's challenge was directed at political parties, but questioned how political organisations could conduct a serious technical assessment of the system. The ECI's so-called challenge was offered to political parties. How exactly are political parties supposed to conduct a serious technical vulnerability assessment of an electronic voting system? Kharge said. Kharge said he had twice written to the Chief Election Commissioner seeking what he described as a more credible mechanism -- a court-monitored technical audit and an ethical hackathon involving independent cybersecurity experts, engineers and researchers.
