  • Congress candidates’ list going viral on social media is fake

    Bengaluru, Apr 10: A list of Congress candidates for the upcoming Karnataka elections is doing the rounds in social media, especially on WhatsApp. As it turns out, the list is fake.

    A document titled ‘1st list of INC candidates’ went viral on social media on Tuesday April 10. However, the Congress has clarified that the list was fake.
    Chief minister Siddaramaiah himself took to Twitter to clarfiy the same, stating that the list was a product of the ‘fake news factory’.
    “I am told a list of Congress candidates for Karnataka Election is under circulation. The AICC has not approved the list of candidates yet. The “list” under circulation is fake. It has been done to create confusion. Please don’t patronize products of the #FakeNews factory.” he tweeted.

    AICC general secretary Madhu Goud Yaskhi speaking to reporters in New Delhi cautioned that a fake list of Congress candidates containing AICC seal was being circulated in social media. “We will file a complaint with the police regarding the matter. We have only finished the meeting of the screening committee. The Congress central election committee (CEC) is yet to meet,” he said.

    He also put the blame on BJP for the fake list. “This is the handiwork of the BJP IT cell. They are experts in coming up with fake news. Even Smriti Irani’s certificate is fake. Modi’s certificate is also fake. Such fake people have created this fake list,” he said.

  • Five linked to Sanatan Sanstha are key suspects in Gauri Lankesh’s murder

    The five missing persons are: Praveen Limkar, 34, from Kolhapur; Jayaprakash alias Anna, 45, from Mangalore; Sarang Akolkar, 38, from Pune; Rudra Patil, 37, from Sangli and Vinay Pawar, 32, from Satara.
    Bengaluru (TheIndianExpress): Five persons linked to the right-wing Sanatan Sanstha organisation, including four with Interpol red-corner notices against their names for their alleged involvement in a bomb blast in Madgaon in Goa in 2009, have emerged as key suspects in the murder of journalist and activist Gauri Lankesh outside her home in Bengaluru on September 5.
    The five missing persons are: Praveen Limkar, 34, from Kolhapur; Jayaprakash alias Anna, 45, from Mangalore; Sarang Akolkar, 38, from Pune; Rudra Patil, 37, from Sangli and Vinay Pawar, 32, from Satara.
    They are among the key suspects being investigated by a Special Investigation Team of the Karnataka police as part of its probe into the murder of Lankesh.
    The names of Rudra Patil, Sarang Akolkar and Vinay Pawar had earlier emerged in the CBI investigation into the August 20, 2013 murder of rationalist Narendra Dabholkar, 69, at Kolhapur in Maharashtra; in the Maharashtra SIT’s probe into the February 16, 2015 shooting of leftist thinker and rationalist Govind Pansare, 81 in Pune; and in the probe into the August 30, 2015 murder of Kannada scholar and researcher M M Kalburgi, 77, in Dharwad, Karnataka. Hundreds from Lankesh’s home state march in capital for slain journalist.
    Limkar, Anna, Akolkar and Patil are also suspected to have played a major role in the October 19, 2009 bomb blast in Madgaon where two Sanatan Sanstha men were killed while transporting an IED that was to be planted at a Diwali program in Madgaon. The National Investigation Agency has listed these four men linked to the Sanstha among its most wanted suspects and a red-corner notice has been issued against their names by the Interpol.
    Sources familiar with the investigation into the four murders of rationalists and activists said that the cracking of the Gauri Lankesh murder case hinges on the ability of the Karnataka SIT to track down the five missing Sanstha men. Gauri Lankesh to posthumously get Anna Politkovskaya Award.
    An advocate of the Sanatan Sanstha Sanjay Punalekar, at a recent press conference, claimed that some of its members may be absconding from the law because they were afraid of being wrongly accused in cases.
    As first reported by The Indian Express, a forensic analysis of four empty cartridges and the four bullets fired to kill Lankesh had concluded that markings on the bullets and cartridges bear a close resemblance to those found on bullets and cartridges fired to kill Kalburgi. This confirmed preliminary findings suggesting that Lankesh and scholar Kalburgi were probably shot with the same 7.65-mm pistol. The ballistic finding suggests that one common group is behind the two killings, say sources.
    Findings from a comparison of the ballistic evidence from the Lankesh and Kalburgi cases adds to existing forensic evidence from the shooting of Pansare where the same 7.65-mm countrymade gun used in the Kalburgi murder was found to have been used.
    Govind Pansare and his wife Uma Pansare were shot with five bullets from two 7.65-mm country made guns. A comparison of the ballistic evidence found in the Pansare case with that of evidence in the shooting of Dabholkar revealed that a second gun used to shoot the Pansares was the one that was used to kill Dabholkar.
    Sources in the Karnataka SIT probing the Lankesh case said “good progress” has been achieved in the probe. Karnataka Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy also said this week that the SIT has conclusive evidence regarding the alleged perpetrators of Lankesh’s murder.

  • ಬಾಲಕಿ ಅತ್ಯಾಚಾರ: ಅಂಗಡಿ ಮಾಲೀಕನ ಸೆರೆ

    ಕುಂದಾಪುರ: ಎಂಟು ವರ್ಷದ ಅಪ್ರಾಪ್ತ ಬಾಲಕಿ ಮೇಲೆ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯೋರ್ವ ಅತ್ಯಾಚಾರ ನಡೆಸಿದ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಹೇಯ ಘಟನೆಯೊಂದು ತಾಲೂಕಿನ ಬಿದ್ಕಲ್‌ಕಟ್ಟೆ ಎಂಬಲ್ಲಿ ವರದಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಬಾಲಕಿ ಇದೀಗ ಮಣಿಪಾಲ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಜೀವನ್ಮರಣ ಹೋರಾಟ ನಡೆಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾಳೆಂದು ತಿಳಿದುಬಂದಿದೆ.

    ಬಿದ್ಕಲ್‌ಕಟ್ಟೆ ಪೇಟೆ ಸಮೀಪ ಅಂಗಡಿ ಹೊಂದಿದ್ದ ರಾಮದಾಸ್ ಪ್ರಭು(53) ಎಂಬಾತ ಬಾಲಕಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಅತ್ಯಾಚಾರವೆಸಗಿದ ಕಾಮುಕ. ಅತ್ಯಾಚಾರಕ್ಕೊಳಗಾದ ಬಾಲಕಿಯ ಕುಟುಂಬದವರು ಮೂಲತಃ ತಮಿಳುನಾಡಿನವರು. ಸದ್ಯ ಆಕೆಯ ತಂದೆ ಬಿದ್ಕಲ್‌ಕಟ್ಟೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂಲಿ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದು, ಕುಟುಂಬ ಬಿದ್ಕಲ್‌ಕಟ್ಟೆಯಲ್ಲೇ ನೆಲೆಸಿದೆ.

    ಚಾಕಲೇಟು ಆಸೆ ತೋರಿಸಿ ಅತ್ಯಾಚಾರವೆಸಗಿದ್ದ
    ಒಂದೆರಡು ದಿನಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆ ಬಾಲಕಿ ಅಂಗಡಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿದ್ದ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಮುಕ ರಾಮದಾಸ್ ಬಾಲಕಿಯನ್ನು ಬೆದರಿಸಿ ನೀಚ ಕೃತ್ಯವೆಸಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿದುಬಂದಿದೆ. ವಿಷಯ ಯಾರಿಗೂ ಹೇಳಬೇಡ ಎಂದು ಬಾಲಕಿಗೆ ಬೆದರಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಕಾಮುಕ ರಾಮದಾಸನ ಬೆದರಿಕೆಗೆ ಬೆದರಿದ ಬಾಲಕಿ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲೂ ಈ ವಿಚಾರ ತಿಳಿಸಿಲ್ಲ.

    ತಾಯಿಗೆ ಮಾತು ಬರುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ
    ಎರಡು ದಿನಗಳ ಬಳಿಕ ಅತ್ಯಾಚಾರಕ್ಕೊಳಗಾದ ಬಾಲಕಿಯ ಏರೋಗ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಏರುಪೇರಾಗಿದ್ದು, ತಾಯಿಗೆ ಮಾತು ಬಾರದ ಕಾರಣ ಬಾಲಕಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಲಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಬಾಲಕಿಯ ಗುಪ್ತಾಂಗದಲ್ಲಿ ರಕ್ತಸ್ರಾವವಾಗಿದ್ದರಿಂದ ತಕ್ಷಣ ಸಮೀಪದ ಖಾಸಗಿ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಥಮ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ಕೊಡಿಸಿ ಬಳಿಕ ಮಣಿಪಾಲ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಗೆ ಸಾಗಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

    ಮಾಧ್ಯಮದವರಿಗೆ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ನಿರಾಕರಣೆ
    ಪ್ರಕರಣ ನಡೆದು ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ಗಂಟೆ ಕಳೆದರೂ ಮಾಧ್ಯಮದವರು ಪೊಲೀಸರನ್ನು ಸಂಪರ್ಕಿಸಿದರೆ ಮಾಹಿತಿಯನ್ನು ನಿರಾಕರಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಕೋಟ ಠಾಣೆಯ ದೂರವಾಣಿ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆಗೆ ಕರೆ ಮಾಡಿದರೂ ಕೂಡ ಕರೆಗಳನ್ನು ಸ್ವೀಕರಿಸುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಪ್ರಕರಣದ ಕುರಿತು ಏನೂ ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲವೆಂಬಂತೆ ಪೊಲೀಸರು ವರ್ತಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ಗಮನಾರ್ಹವಾಗಿದೆ.
