Police academy, CIIL ink pact to provide language training to cops in Karnataka
MYSURU: In a significant initiative, the Karnataka Police Academy (KPA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL) to provide specialised language training for police officials. This collaboration aims to enhance their communication skills and cultural understanding, enabling them to effectively interact with diverse linguistic communities across the country. The MoU, signed during the International Mother Tongue Day celebrations, held here on Friday, will facilitate professional language learning for Karnataka Police personnel. In return, the KPA will extend its expertise to CIIL by offering training programmes in security, cyber security, fire safety, and other critical areas. KPA director S L Channabasavanna emphasised the strength of Indias diversity. The diversity is the strength of our nation. While we must love our mother tongue, it is equally important to respect and learn other languages, he stated. He highlighted the necessity for police officials to be proficient in multiple languages, particularly when they travel to other states for investigations. Understanding the local language is crucial for effective communication. This agreement with CIIL will help officials gain language skills that enhance their professional efficiency, he added. Drawing from his experiences, Channabasavanna recalled an instance in Sudan, where Indian peacekeeping officials felt immense joy when local police communicated in Indian languages. He stressed that familiarity with local languages makes it easier to gather information and work effectively in different regions. Encouraging officials to learn multiple languages, he noted, When I was posted in Chamarajanagar, I learned Tamil; in Bidar, I picked up Marathi and Telugu. Learning different languages is essential, and we must also cherish our mother tongue. Renowned linguist and former JNU professor Kapil Kapoor addressed the gathering virtually, stressing that all languages hold vast knowledge. He advocated for primary education in ones mother tongue, arguing, It is a myth that scientific education cannot be imparted in regional languages. Indian languages have a rich vocabulary, and Sanskrit has contributed immensely to linguistic knowledge across the country. Criticising the continued colonial influence on education, Kapoor remarked, The British-era mindset still dominates. English has been projected as the language of employment, which needs to change. Every mother tongue is an international language in its own right, and preserving a language ensures the survival of its culture. Education in the mother tongue is crucial. Knowledge of English does not define ones intellect. Sanskrit is not a dead language, it is a powerhouse of knowledge, and its significance must be revived, Kapoor said.
Centre, Opposition vow support; Kerala rolls out red carpet for investors
KOCHI: Keralas renewed push to transform itself into a major investment destination got off to a promising start with the Union and state governments joining hands to underline the states achievements and development plans on the opening day of Invest Kerala Global Summit (IKGS) 2025 on Friday. The changes we have brought about now are not incremental but substantial. Kerala is taking a big step towards the goal of achieving the status of an investment hub. The state government believes it has a major role to play as facilitator and catalyst. We have adopted a holistic view and are paying equal attention to all aspects from policy formulation to last-mile implementation, said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. He was inaugurating the two-day summit at Lulu International Convention Centre in Bolgatty. Taking his cue from the CM, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, who spoke at the event virtually, announced 896 km of new roads - encompassing 31 road projects worth Rs 50,000 crore. The Adani Group has promised Rs 30,000 crore in the next five years, including an additional investment of Rs 20,000 crore in Vizhinjam port, while healthcare major Aster DM Healthcare announced Rs 850 crore investments over the next three years. Kaynes Technology India, a Mysuru-headquartered integrated electronics system design and manufacturing company, said it will invest Rs 500 crore in Kerala to set up its manufacturing campus in or around Thiruvananthapuram. Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal expressed the Centres full solidarity and support to the states investment push. Entrepreneurship is in the blood of Keralites, he said. Centre will always ensure Kerala is not left behind: Union Minister Goyal The USD 4 trillion Indian economy will be developed into a $35 trillion economy by 2047, and the Union government will always ensure Kerala is not left behind, Union minister Piyush Goyal said. Saying that Keralas investment scenario was on the cusp of history, the CM asserted that debate and criticism should be aimed at achieving progress, and not the other way round, alluding to the recent controversy triggered following Congress MP Shashi Tharoors article praising Keralas achievements that appeared in TNIE last week. Kerala aims to have 15,000 startups by 2026: CM Pinarayi Vijayan When criticism becomes the end and not the means to achieving improvement, it ceases to be constructive, Pinarayi said, adding, Nevertheless, tangible achievements speak for themselves and with information at their disposal, the public can appreciate the progress achieved by the state. Pinarayi said Kerala was witnessing progress and change for the better in its investment arena. It is at this juncture that this summit is taking place, bringing together global investors, visionaries in the field, and experts and policymakers, with the aim to explore Keralas investment potential, he said. The share of manufacturing sector in gross state value added, which was 9.8 per cent in 2014-15, has risen to 11.5 per cent in 2023-24, Pinarayi said.Besides developing infrastructure, the government has given high priority to providing uninterrupted electricity by expediting the completion of power highways, said the CM. Let me share with happiness and pride that Kerala is a state without power cuts, he said. The CM also tried to allay fears of unavailability of land, saying the government has declared in the budget that no investor will return without investing due to non-availability of land, and highlighted the land pooling system the government has come up with. At the event, Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan promised the Oppositions steadfast commitment to the development of Kerala. Regardless of political affiliations, our collective goal is to propel Kerala into a future of economic prosperity and industrial excellence, he said. First day, good show Investment blitz Rs 50,000 crore by Centre for 31 road projects. Rs 30,000 crore by Adani Group over next 5 years. Rs 850 crore by Aster DM Healthcare in 3 years. Rs 500 crore by Kaynes Technology India, Mysuru, to set up manufacturing campus. Positive notes Entrepreneurship is in the blood of Keralites. The union government will always ensure that Kerala is not left behind - Piyush Goyal, Union Commerce Minister. Oppn is taking an initiative for the start of a new culture. We are giving our full support in all aspects to make Kerala investment-friendly - V D Satheesan, Leader of Opposition. With investors from diverse industries and countries coming together, this platform (Invest Kerala Global Summit) is set to shape Keralas next phase of industrial growth - P Rajeeve, Industries Minister.

General coaches in 13 trains cut down to house AC rakes
CHENNAI: Despite unreserved passengers continuing to occupy reserved coaches in large numbers across all trains, Southern Railway has reduced the number of general class coaches available for unreserved travel in 13 pairs of trains. The removed coaches will be replaced with air-conditioned three-tier coaches. According to a Southern Railway order on February 15, the revised coach composition will take effect from February 21. The move may potentially result in more commuters travelling to Arakkonam, Katpadi, Walajah, and Jolarpettai from Chennai during the evening occupying reserved coaches, especially on Alappuzha Express, Thiruvananthapuram Mail and Kaveri Express. Two of four general compartments were cut in five express trains Chennai-Mysuru Kaveri Express, Chennai-Thiruvananthapuram Mail, Chennai Central-Alappuzha Superfast (SF) Express, Kochuveli-Nilambur Road Rajya Rani Express and Ernakulam-Velankanni Express. Similarly, in eight trains Chennai-Erode Yercaud Express, Chennai Central-Hyderabad Deccan SF Express, Chennai Central-Nagercoil SF Express, Puducherry-Mangaluru Central Express, Villupuram-Kharagpur SF Express, Puducherry-Kanniyakumari Express, Chennai Central-Palakkad Express and Tirunelveli-Purulia SF Express the number of general compartments has been cut to three from four. Currently, railways issue around 600 to 700 unreserved tickets for trains that have only two general class coaches, which can accommodate a maximum of about 350 passengers at a time. Railway officials said the alteration aligns with a railway board policy issued two years ago, which mandates standardisation of rakes. As per the policy, the maximum number of unreserved coaches per train should not exceed two. A former member of the Zonal Railway Consultative Committee criticised the move, saying it will further increase congestion in sleeper class coaches, as more unreserved passengers will be forced to enter reserved compartments at night, inconveniencing ticketed passengers. Moreover, as railways do not have a policy to limit the number of unreserved tickets issued per train, the move is expected to cause severe overcrowding on routes like the Chennai-Jolarpettai section and several regions in Kerala, he added. On August 19, 2024, a TNIE report based on RTI data revealed that the number of unreserved passengers travelling in reserved coaches increased by 110% in 2023-2024, compared to the previous year. Despite the high ticket demand, the railways have been unable to operate additional trains due to a shortage of loco pilots, ticket-checking staff, and other resources.

MUDA scam case: Lokayukta gives clean chit to CM Siddaramaiah, wife
MYSURU: Karnataka Lokayukta has given a clean chit to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, his wife Parvathi, and two others in the alleged scam in allotment of sites by Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA). A notice was sent to complainant Snehamayi Krishna, an RTI activist, on Wednesday stating that he may challenge the Lokayukta probe report within a week before the designated magistrate. The notice stated that the Lokayukta police conducted an investigation under various Sections of IPC, Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, 1988, and the Karnataka Land Grabbing Prohibition Act, 2011, against Siddaramaiah, Parvathi, Mallikarjuna Swamy (Parvathis brother) and land owner Devaraj and found that the case came under civil dispute. I will continue my legal fight, says Snehamayi The notice said no sufficient proof was found to substantiate the charges against Siddaramaiah, his wife and two others. The probe found no criminal wrongdoing by them. The Lokayukta will submit its final report to the high court. The Lokayukta police stated that compensatory land allotment made by MUDA between 2016 and 2024 under its 50:50 scheme is being investigated. A report will be submitted to the court under Section 173 (8) of the CrPC after completing the probe. Lokayuktas clean chit has come as a big relief to Siddaramaiah with the high court recently rejecting Snehamayi Krishnas plea to transfer the case to CBI. Reacting to the notice, Krishna said he had expected the same from the Lokayukta police. The Lokayukta notice states that there is no proof to substantiate my allegations. Then, did I give them garbage? The CM is accused No 1 in the case. Therefore, it has proved that government officers under the CM naturally came to his rescue. The Lokayukta officials acted against their conscience and defended the corrupt. They even deceived the Supreme Court. I will continue my legal fight. I will initiate action after studying the B report submitted by the Lokayukta police, he said. Krishna submitted a petition to Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot, who gave his approval to probe Siddaramaiah a few months ago. On September 27, the special court issued a directive to file an FIR against Siddaramaiah, his wife and two others. A team of Lokayukta sleuths headed by SP TJ Udesha conducted an investigation. They questioned many officials from MUDA and other departments, politicians and others and submitted a report to Lokayukta IGP A Subramanyeshwara Rao a few days ago. BJP, JDS used Snehamayi to defame CM, says Lakshmana KPCC spokesperson M Lakshmana said Siddaramaiah got a clean chit from the Lokayukta police in the MUDA case. BJP and JDS leaders tried to tarnish Siddaramaiahs image through Snehamayi Krishna. Now, Krishna should honour the investigating agencys report. We will support Krishna in his struggle to expose the MUDA site allotment scam, but he should give up his fight against the CM. At least now, Krishna should make public who had instigated him to lodge a false complaint against the CM and his family members, he said.

He sent the video to his niece before hanging himself at the cemetery, where his parents were buried. Jobi Antonys involvement in IPL and online betting and gambling made him borrow money from lenders and banks in Merishilins name. As he was unable to clear the loans in the name of Merishilin, lenders began harassing her. This led to tension within the family. Frustrated by this, Joshi Antony ended his life. After Joshi Anthony suicide, Merishilin filed a complaint against Jobi and Sharmila with Mysuru Rural police.

Odishas buddhist past makes itself present
BHUBANESWAR: A 50-strong team of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has been sweating it out at Ratnagiri for last 70 days, chipping away at heaps of soil, uncovering archaeological treasure that signal emergence of new historical evidence on Odishas place in Buddhist history. Six decades after Debala Mitra, Indias first woman archaeologist and former director general of ASI, excavated two magnificent quadrangular monasteries, a large stupa, cluster of shrines and numerous sculptures from Ratnagiri, also known as Odishas Hill of Jewels, a large Buddhist shrine is now raising its head from a mound on the southern direction of the monasteries. The ASIs Puri circle has been excavating the site since December 5 last year and in the last one month, it has found three colossal Buddha heads, hundreds of votive stupas, stone inscriptions and images of Buddhist gods and goddesses, all pointing to the archaeological richness hitherto not known to the world. Shrine Complex Emerges Buddhist remains atop the Ratnagiri were first noticed by archaeologist MM Chakrabarty in 1905 and subsequently, the first systematic excavation of the site was carried out by Mitra from 1958 to 1961. She had then dated the site to 5th century CE whose development continued till 12th century CE. The downfall began in the 13th century CE as a result of Muslim invasion, historians say. Prior to the December 2024 excavation, a small portion of what appeared to be a Buddhist head and some other structural remains were visible on southern side of the main monastery. A monolithic elephant discovered from the site According to superintending archaeologist of ASI DB Garnayak, the objective of the excavation was to find out if there existed a shrine complex which is a sacred Buddhist assembly or prayer hall, in Ratnagiri. Unlike its contemporary sites Lalitgiri and Udaygiri which have shrine complexes, no such structure was found in the previous excavation of Ratnagiri. Since some archaeological remains were seen buried at this unexcavated mound, we began the dig to look for it. Now after two months of spade work, we believe that this is where the shrine complex was located, he said. What further strengthened this theory is the discovery of three colossal heads of Lord Buddha with elongated earlobes and a lion pedestal from the site. The beautifully-carved heads with partially closed eyes show Buddha in a contemplative mood. The heads and ushnisha (protuberance on the head of Buddha symbolising wisdom, enlightenment, and spiritual attainment) are intricately decorated with several rows of curls. An interesting aspect of the Buddha heads is the noses in all the three are intact. Usually, invaders are found to have damaged noses of sculptures but here, it seems the sculptures were so tall that the nose remained inaccessible. Hence, the invaders may have broken the sculptures just below the neck, he said. Close to the pedestal, a circular structure having a khondolite base, decorated with a serpent deity holding a ceremonial pot, a mythical lion and flowers, has been found. Two similar Buddha heads were found during the 1960s excavation and are currently housed in the Ratnagiri museum. Three Buddha heads excavated from one trench on the mound | DEBADATTA MALLICK Significance of Ratnagiri Considered one of the most important and largest Buddhist establishments in the state, Ratnagiri (also known as Ratnagiri Mahavihara) is spread across 18 acre of land on the Assia hill range on the left bank of Kelua river, a tributary of Brahmani in Jajpur district. Having earned the fame as a center of learning for yoga and tantra, many historians and Mitra had compared Ratnagiri with Nalanda. The site flourished as an important Buddhist establishment under the royal patronage of Bhaumakaras during the 9th-10th century CE. The archaeological vestiges of the site are dated from 5th century CE to 13th-14th century CE. According to Buddhism expert Sunil Patnaik, the site has two phases of history. The first phase of 200 years belonged to Mahayana Buddhism and the rest saw Vajrayana or Tantric Buddhism. It is believed that Vajrayana Buddhism from Ratnagiri migrated to Southeast Asian countries, particularly the cult of Tara to Java and Tibet towards 9th-10th century CE, he added. Inscriptions & Dating Among the significant latest finds are the inscriptions in form of stone tablets and on votive stupas, which have helped the archaeologists date the Buddha heads. Garnayak said the dates of the two heads in the museum and those found from the mound could not be ascertained till the inscriptions were discovered. The inscriptions are written in Sanskrit language and in Kutila script. Archaeologist Prof Subrat Acharya and director of ASIs epigraphy branch at Mysuru K Munirathnam translated the inscriptions and dated it back to mid-7th to 8th century CE. A lion pedestal This helped the archaeologists conclude that the heads belong to the 8th century CE. Many of the inscriptions have dharani (Buddhist hymns) on them. This apart, some inscriptions of 12th century CE in Nagari script have been found. After discovery of the Buddha heads, the scope of excavation on the mound has been further expanded to ascertain the nature of the structures found, factors behind demolition or collapse of the structural remains and the sites pottery assemblage (collection of ceramic vessels and fragments found in the site). Pottery Assemblage Pottery, Garnayak said, is considered the alphabet of archaeology because it reveals the food habits, religion and social system of a place. Therefore, during this excavation, we are giving more emphasis on pottery assemblage which was not the case during the 1960s excavation when the focus was more on structural findings, he said. In the last fortnight, a large number of pottery shreds have been found which reveal the pottery assemblage of the site is largely dominated by greyware followed by redware pottery. While a large number of excavated shreds are plain, a few have geometric designs and it is assumed that the shreds are of lamps, bowls and dishes. While ASI has earlier discovered pottery of 5th to 6th century CE from various sites across the state, the ceramics found from Ratnagiri date back to 7th-8th century CE to 14th century CE, giving a link to the medieval ceramic tradition of Odisha. This apart, one of the most striking finds is a broken monolithic elephant, an imposing structure measuring five feet in length and over 3.5 feet tall, making it one of the largest and most graceful of its kind in Odisha. Votive stupas with niches having divinities found from the mound Maritime Link & Tantrayana It is believed that Buddhist establishments were generally patronised by traders from southeast Asian countries in the ancient times. The excavation is also directed towards finding Ratnagiris link with any Southeast Asian countries and archaeologists have been looking for related material culture at the site. However, they have had no luck so far except finding only a few celadon shards. Celadon ceramic pottery style has its origin in China. Only if we get a lot of celadons, we can say that the site had a maritime link like Barabati and Khalkatapatna but that isnt the case so far, Garnayak said. But what are being found in large numbers from the excavated shrine complex are idols of Buddhist gods and goddesses and votive stupas related to Vajrayana Buddhism. So far, archaeologists have dug out close to 50 idols of Buddhist deities like Tara, Chunda, Hariti, Avalokitesvara, Heruk, Marichi, Jambhala, Manjushri, Arapachana, Vajrasattva and Vasudhara, among others. Also, hundreds of stupas, both monolithic votive stupas and structural stupas continue to be excavated from the mound. In the votive stupas, there are niches (small spaces carved into the structure) which house idols of Buddha in Bhumisparsa and Dhyana mudras and other deities like Aparchana, Avalokitesvara, Chunda and Dhyana. Votive stupas are generally offered by students or people in fulfillment of a vow. Bigger stupas have also been found which house four divinities in four directions. Stating that Ratnagiri has the highest number of votive stupas compared to any other Buddhist site in Odisha, Garnayak said it is the best site to study the iconographical feature of Vajrayana Buddhism. ASI plans to continue Ratnagiri excavation for a few more months to trace out more monastic evidence, the presence of which is evident from the 18 acre site.
Will fight for better share of Godavari-Krishna-Cauvery water, says HD Deve Gowda
BENGALURU: Former prime minister HD Deve Gowda asserted here on Saturday that Karnataka should receive 25 tmcft of water under the Godavari-Krishna-Cauvery irrigation project. He pledged to fight for this cause alongside all political parties. He expressed his displeasure over the allocation of 15.891 tmcft of water out of 147/932 tmcft assessed as available for diversion as against the allocation for Tamil Nadu (40.930 TMCft). He said that he would soon write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking him to direct the National Water Development Agency (NWDA) to set right the injustice meted out to Karnataka. I have asked in Parliament how 15.891 tmcft of water from Godavari river will be diverted to Ghataprabha river. How is this feasible? Where exactly will Godavari be linked to the Cauvery river? The project details are unclear, and Karnataka deserves accurate information. I will write to the PM on this, he told the media. Telangana (45.061 tmcft), Andhra Pradesh (43.861) and Puducherry(2.189) have been allocated their share. He suggested that leaders from Karnataka should take the example of their Tamil Nadu counterparts in fighting for their states interest on water issues. I wont hesitate to join Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and Congress MPs in this fight. When it comes to Karnatakas interests, BJP, Congress, and JDS must set aside their differences and work together. I will not back away from such a united effort, he declared. We demand 25 tmcft for Karnataka. This is a major objective, and politics has no place in it. Internal differences among us will only weaken the cause, he emphasised, adding that irrigation should not be a political issue. I have appealed to the Prime Minister and Union Jal Shakti Minister CR Patil to increase Karnatakas share of water, he said. TN has no water scarcity, says former PM Excess water is flowing into the sea from Tamil Nadu. I have never raised this issue. When I spoke in Parliament about water allocation, Tamil Nadu MPs did not object, he said, adding that when he spoke in Parliament about the Godavari-Cauvery project, TN MPs vocally supported it. Karnataka must get justice in water allocation. That is my final wish. Before I pass away, I want to see the injustice done to the state in irrigation matters is rectified. I may live for another four years, and during that time, I will fight to resolve this issue. I will bring everyone together for this battle, an emotional Gowda said. Skeptical about Yettinahole Deve Gowda expressed doubts over the Yettinahole project yielding the expected results. When Jagadish Shettar was CM, Rs 8,000 crore was allocated and the cost escalated to Rs 26,000 crore. Let me take you(media) people through the projects site to assess whether it will help fetch the water or not, he challenged. JDS to hold a rally JDS national president HD Deve Gowda announced that the party will organise a rally in the Old Mysuru region in May 2025. Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy will hold a preliminary meeting on March 6, he informed.

Clean chit to CM Siddaramaiah, wife in MUDA case?
MYSURU: Lokayukta police have reportedly given a clean chit to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, his wife and relatives in the alleged scam in allotment of sites by MUDA under the 50:50 scheme. According to sources, in the final probe report submitted to the central office, the Lokayukta police here have stated that MUDA officials were responsible for lapses in the allotment of sites and the CM or his wife and relatives had no role in it. The case pertains to allotment of 14 sites to Parvathi, Siddaramaiahs wife, by MUDA as compensation for acquiring her 3.16 acres of land at Kesare to develop a residential layout. The report stated that there was no political pressure to allot those 14 sites and the alleged irregularities were committed by MUDA officials at various levels. Mysuru Lokayukta SP Udesh submitted the 2,500-page report to IGP Subramanyeshwar Rao. The sources said the investigation revealed that more than 1,000 sites were illegally allotted by MUDA officials, causing huge losses to the state exchequer. The report stated that Parvathi voluntarily returned the 14 sites to MUDA, and there was no evidence of Siddaramaiahs involvement in the land transfer process. Meanwhile, Snehamayi Krishna, who had filed a complaint, expressed dissatisfaction with the report. The issue is not just about the involvement of CM's family. It is about the mega scam in allotment of MUDA sites, he said. He has filed a fresh petition seeking a high-level probe into all sites allotted under the 50:50 scheme. Addressing reporters at the Lokayukta office here on Friday, Krishna alleged that the investigation had been limited only to 14 sites linked to the CMs family. Other key offenders had been allowed to go scot-free, he said. Claiming that several MUDA officials, influential persons and builders were involved in irregularities in allotment of sites, he sought a detailed investigation into the role of former MUDA commissioner Natesh, who, he alleged, had illegally allotted sites to his family members and relatives in violation of norms.

Littering lands this band of robbers from Kochi in the soup
On December 27, 2024, a man riding a scooter in Kalady was attacked with pepper spray and robbed off Rs 20 lakh at knife point by two motorcycle-borne individuals. The whole operation was carried out after extensive planning and surveillance which stretched over three months. Yet, despite all their preparedness, the robbers were nabbed, along with eight others who assisted them in only two weeks. What helped the police, you ask? A can discarded on the roadside. The incident On the day, Davis, who works as a manager of a grocery wholesale firm, was travelling on his scooter to hand over the money to the business owner when he was intercepted by two motorcycle-borne individuals. Davis had with him two bags containing a total of Rs 32 lakh. The strangers first used pepper spray on his face and reached for the bag. When Davis resisted, they brandished a knife and stabbed him before grabbing the bags. However, in their haste to flee, one of the bags fell down and was promptly recovered by another company employee following Davis, and the police were informed. As soon as we learned about the incident, we rushed to the spot. On arriving there and examining the crime scene, it was evident that it was a well-planned robbery, likely done with the assistance of an insider. However, the most crucial evidence recovered from the place was the pepper spray can, says an officer who was part of the investigation. The probe Soon, Ernakulam Rural Police Chief Vaibhav Saxena formed a team with Perumbavoor Assistant Commissioner of Police Shakti Singh and Kalady SHO Anilkumar Meppilly. We formed teams. One tracked the pepper spray can. Another collected information from people who worked at the company. We also checked CCTV footage in the area, the officer reveals. The latter exercise proved to be fruitless as the route did not have many cameras and so, the motorcycles used by the assailants could not be found. However, the team tracking the pepper spray received vital information during the initial probe. The can had a helpline number on it which, when contacted, helped us find that the pepper spray was only sold online and from one particular shopping platform. After checking with the cans manufacturer and some assistance from the shopping platform, we tracked the buyer a person in Irinjalakuda. He had procured the pepper spray a few weeks before the incident, the officer says. Meanwhile, the team probing the possible involvement of an insider found that Anil Kumar T G, who had worked as the companys driver, had a criminal history and was lodged in Irinjalakuda jail in a criminal case. Even though he returned to work after being released from jail, he resigned a few months later. So we also started tracking Anil, the officer says. The pepper spray can was tracked to the residence of Anees in Irinjalakuda. It was a combo pack containing two cans. We carried out a surprise raid at the residence and recovered the pairing can and the box in which it was delivered. But his family members tipped him off and Anees went absconding, the officer explains. Connecting the dots However, the police did not have to wait long for success. The former employee Anil, during interrogation, divulged the entire robbery planning. Anil met Anees at Irinjalakuda sub-jail. There, he told Anees about the movement of cash at his workplace. He passed the entire information about the time, place and people involved. After being released from jail, Anees regularly reached Kalady and monitored Davis movement. He was joined by Vishnu Prasad alias Bomb Vishnu in executing the plan, the officer reveals. After Anil, police nabbed Firoz who arranged the motorcycle to carry out the robbery. Police also arrested Abhishek, Naveen and Salman who helped Anees to go into hiding. Anees father Ansari was arrested for tipping him off about police action. After a few days, the police tracked Anees to a resort in Wayanad and nabbed him. Vishnu, on his return journey from a holiday in Mysuru and Goa, was nabbed from Palani. During interrogation, the duo confessed. Apparently, they had divided the cash and parted ways. Anees also handed over a portion of the money he received to a woman named Shemu in Kodungallur. The money was recovered from her. The robbery was similar to the movie Sapthamashree Thaskaraha, starring Prithviraj, in which a group of persons who meet in jail joined together to carry out theft. However, police have cracked all such meticulously planned robberies in real life, the officer concludes.

Bengaluru CID court convicts two in 2022 road rage murder; sentences them to seven years RI
BENGALURU: Two men who had murdered 22-year-old Chandru, a resident of JB Nagar on Mysuru Road in the early hours of April 5, 2022, in a road rage incident, were convicted by a CID Special Court (51st Additional City Civil and Sessions Court) in Bengaluru. T Shahid Pasha alias Nyaro and M Shahid Pasha alias Gena, were sentenced to seven years simple imprisonment and a fine of Rs 20,000 each. The case had turned controversial after then home minister Araga Jnanendra had told the media on April 9 that Chandru had been murdered as he did not speak Urdu. He had later retracted the claim. Then police commissioner Kamal Pant had dismissed the language angle and clarified that the murder was linked to road rage. On April 10, 2022, the case was transferred to the CID. Chandru had gone to celebrate his friend Simon Rajs birthday. Since Chandru wanted to have a chicken roll, the two went to Haleguddadahalli in JJ Nagar. On their return, they had a fight with the accused and the road rage incident resulted in Chandru being stabbed. Raj had filed a police complaint. Nanda Kumar, DySP, H and B Squad, CID, the investigating officer, had submitted the chargesheet to court on June 30, 2022.
Mob attacks police station in Mysuru; nine cops hurt
MYSURU: Tension prevailed in Udayagiri on Monday night when a large mob thronged the police station there demanding that action be taken against a man who had shared an offensive post showing I.N.D.I.A bloc leaders in a bad light. Police resorted to lathi-charge and fired tear gas shells to disperse the unruly mob. At least nine police personnel, including an ACP, two inspectors and three constables, were injured and some vehicles were damaged when the mob threw stones at the station. However, the situation was peaceful on Tuesday and security has been tightened in Udayagiri and surrounding areas of Mysuru. Trouble started after the man shared an offensive post on social media, which had morphed semi-nude images of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, Samajwadi Party MP Akhilesh Yadav, and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal wearing skull caps. The images also had some slogans in Arabic. ADGP Hithendra, who rushed to the city on Tuesday, took the police officers to task for their delayed action against the unruly mob. He sought to know why the accused was taken to Udayagiri station and why police allowed people to assemble there. It is alleged that the news of police taking the accused into custody after registering a suo-motu case was leaked. Immediately, people rushed to the station where an argument between them and police personnel broke out. Soon, some in the crowd started throwing stones at the station and police personnel. However, the situation took a political turn when Congress leaders started blaming RSS and BJP for the incident. BJP leaders, meanwhile, accused local Congress leaders of inciting trouble. BJP, Congress leaders face off at police station Former Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha, who visited the police station on Tuesday, condemned the incident and termed it a shameful act. Stating that police personnel are being targeted by unruly mobs, he accused the Congress government of failing to take decisive action against troublemakers. Meanwhile, Udayagiri police station witnessed high political drama as BJP and Congress leaders engaged in a heated argument after Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R Ashoka arrived there. After Ashokas arrival, Congress leaders, including KPCC spokesperson M Lakshman and former Mayor Ayub Khan, also attempted to visit the station. However, police personnel stopped them midway, leading to an argument between Congress workers and police personnel. Meanwhile, BJP workers insisted that Ashoka be allowed to complete his visit.

Congress appeasement politics led to Mysuru incident, says BJP
BENGALURU/MYSURU: BJP on Tuesday slammed the Congress government for appeasement politics over the Mysuru flare-up, where a mob surrounded the Udayagiri police station late on Monday night and demanded that the accused, arrested for an offensive social media post, be handed over to them. During his visit to the police station on Tuesday afternoon, Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R Ashoka condemned the mob for resorting to violence even after the police took the man into custody for allegedly sharing a derogatory social media post. Drawing parallels between the Congress governments controversial decision to withdraw cases against individuals involved in a similar attack on a police station in Hubballi, Ashoka blamed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for setting a precedent that emboldened such people. He said CCTV cameras have captured the perpetrators and the police should act without delay. Criticising the administration for allowing the situation to escalate, where police stations are surrounded and attacked, he linked it to the broader law and order crisis in the state. Condemning the incident, where stones were thrown at the police station, he said it is a crime and cannot be pardoned. Ashoka said that if the situation had escalated even slightly, the police station would have been set on fire. There is no law and order in the state. This is similar to the Hubballi stone-throwing incident. The mob brought stones in bags. They have got the courage to damage a police station. Even the police could not do anything, as they know if they take action, the government will not support them. For vote bank politics, the ruling party is spoiling the entire system, he added. Ashoka said, We have received information that certain organisations like the Karnataka Forum for Dignity and the Popular Front of India are operational in Mysuru. We have information that members from these organisation from Kerala are involved in murder, kidnapping and other cases in Karnataka, he said. Former CM Basavaraj Bommai said the Mysuru incident is similar to the ones in Mangaluru, KG Halli in Bengaluru and Hubballi. When we were in power, we had taken action against miscreants. But the Congress government withdrew cases against them. How did these people get the courage to attack the police? Are there any politicians behind them, he asked. BJP state president BY Vijayendra said the government has to take action against the miscreants or things will get worse. He too blamed appeasement politics for such incidents.
