Mythriya, who had accused DVS' son of rape, sentenced to two years in jail

May 14, 2016

Bengaluru, May 14: Controversial Kannada film actor Mythriya Gowda has been sentenced to two years' imprisonment by the city court. Her sister and two relatives have been sentenced to one year imprisonment for assaulting a traffic policeman over a trivial row in Basaveshwaranagar in 2011.

Background: Ms. Gowda was driving the car. Her sister Supriya and two relatives — Roopa and Rekha — were in the car with her. She was caught by head constable Shivakumar for talking on the phone while driving. A heated argument ensued between Ms. Gowda and Mr. Shivakumar. It took an ugly turn and the four women assaulted Mr. Shivakumar.

Following a complaint, the Basaveshwaranagar police had booked them for assaulting a government servant, along with other charges. They then submitted the charge sheet to the fifth Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate.

On Friday, the court convicted the four women. However, they obtained bail and are likely to appeal the order in a higher court.

It could be recalled here that Mythriya Gowda, who once had close relationship with union minister DV Sadananda Gowda's son Karthik, later accused him of raping and cheating her.

Mangaluru’s public transport revolution: 100 new govt electric buses to end private ‘trip-cutting’

News Network

December 19,2025

Mangaluru: Public transport in Mangaluru is set for a state-led transformation as the government moves to deploy 100 new electric govt buses to replace unreliable private services. The initiative aims to provide a dependable alternative to private operators who have been frequently "cutting trips," leaving thousands of commuters stranded.

The announcement was made by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV during a public phone-in session. The move specifically targets routes where private bus service has become erratic, ensuring that citizens no longer have to rely on a fluctuating private sector for their daily commute.

Restoring the Govt Presence

The transport crisis was brought to the forefront by Ramayya, a resident of Bajal, who highlighted a growing trend of private buses skipping morning and night trips. With the previous KSRTC (govt) services discontinued, residents have been left without a fallback option.

To fix this, the DC confirmed that the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme will bring 100 government-owned electric buses to the city:

• Phased Deployment: The first 50 of the new 100 government buses are scheduled to arrive by March 2026.

• State Infrastructure: Two new government depots, including one at Mudipu, are being prepared for operations.

• Recruitment: The state has already begun training a new batch of government bus drivers to ensure the fleet is operational the moment it arrives.
