Mangaluru, May 25: Vaishnavi Ballal is one of the most diverse, multi-faceted young talents the coastal city of Mangaluru has ever produced. It would be no exaggeration to say that becoming one of the state toppers in II PU examinations (science stream), was mere a small achievement in her vibrant and meaningful life.

Vaishnavi, who completed her PU in city based Expert PU College, has scored a perfect 100 marks in five subjects, i.e., Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology and Sanskrit.

She doesn't know why and how her score in English dipped to 90. Hence she has decided to apply for revaluation hoping that her score may jump from 590 to at least 596, the score of present State topper.

“I had expected more marks in English. I don't understand where I lost 10 marks. Anyhow, I am happy and will apply for revaluation of the English paper,” Vaishnavi told Coastaldigest.com while expressing her desire to become a neurosurgeon.

The only daughter of city-based general surgeon Dr Rajesh Ballal and artist Vasundhara Ballal, the 18-year-old girl has already reached several noteworthy milestones of her student-life.

In 2011, when she was just 14-year-old Class VIII girl, she was honoured with Outstanding Talent Award meant for young achievers by the Dakshina Kannada district administration on behalf of Karnataka government for her achievement in the field of education.

She became the first person from Dakshina Kannada district to be crowned the National Champion in the grand level of the competition organised by UC MAS (Universal Concept Mental Arithmetic System) in Chennai in 2010, when she was a Class VII student.

In the same year Vaishnavi emerged the first runner-up in the Grand Level of the 16th UC MAS Abacus and Mental Arithmetic International Competition held in Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur.

Vaishnavi is also known as a spelling queen of Mangaluru, as she had emerged champion in the 'Spell Bee - India Spells 2013' Season 5 in 2013, when she was a Class IX student.

Since her childhood she involved in extra-curricular activities though no one pressurised her to take up anything. She is a keen singer and dancer, being trained in Carnatic classical music and Bharatanatyam for several years. She had a successful Rangapravesha about six years ago.

Her multi-faceted personality is expressed by the fact that she is also a drummer with years of training to boost her. She also paints, skates and is proficient in extempore, elocution and essay writing. She enjoys the activities she does. She attributes her achievements to her grandfather Dr C R Ballal, parents, teachers and friends.

Mangaluru: The Mangaluru North police have apprehended a minor in connection with alleged voyeurism incident reported in a private medical college in Mangaluru. 

DCP (Law and order) Sidharth Goyal said that the minor was produced before JJ Board as per due procedure. The incident came to light when a mobile phone was found in women's washroom in the college. 

The mobile-phone was discovered as it was ringing even when no one was in the toilet by the security guard of the college. 

Investigations revealed that the mobile phone had been strategically placed in the restroom. As a result, a case has been registered under north police station.

Further scrutiny into the matter uncovered the identity of the accused, a minor male aged 17, who had gained access to the college premises under the guise of being a patient. Following his apprehension, the accused was presented before the Juvenile Justice (JJ) Board in adherence to legal protocols.

The phone has been seized and a case has been booked under IPC section 354 (C), said the DCP.

Mangaluru, May 4: The Mangaluru International Airport was besieged with a harrowing message of terror recently, when an email, purportedly from malevolent elements, menacingly declared the planting of bombs within the airport premises. 

Addressed to the office of the airport authority, the missive, steeped in ominous overtones, bore the ominous signature of a terrorist faction, ominously named 'Terrorizers 111'.

The communication, disseminated in English, ominously detailed the clandestine emplacement of explosives in areas eluding facile detection, accompanied by a chilling warning of their imminent detonation. The threat, ominously looming over not only the infrastructure but also the airborne vessels, portended a catastrophic deluge of bloodshed and loss.

In response to this dire communiqué, airport authorities swiftly engaged the apparatus of law enforcement, dispatching urgent alerts to the vigilant guardians of public safety. Acting upon the dictates of higher echelons, a formal dossier of this menacing correspondence was meticulously compiled, cloaked in the veil of confidentiality to thwart any premature dissemination.

Mangaluru International Airport found itself in grim camaraderie with more than 30 counterparts under the aegis of the Airport Authority of India (AAI) and private domains, all recipients of this chilling electronic diatribe. A comprehensive net of precautionary measures was swiftly cast, fortifying the bastions of security in anticipation of any nefarious designs lurking within the shadows.

Bengaluru: Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Sunday said that the Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing into sexual abuse charges against Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, will not be going abroad to bring him back, and the Interpol will share information about him.

He also cautioned political leaders about making public statements or sharing information in connection with the case, which is sensitive.

The 33-year-old Prajwal Revanna, who is grandson of JD(S) patriarch and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, is facing charges of sexually abusing several women.

The scandal has raised a political storm with the ruling Congress and BJP-JD(S) engaged in a slugfest.

Prajwal Revanna is said to have flown abroad on April 27, a day after the first phase of Lok Sabha polls in Karnataka was held.

He was BJP-JD(S) alliance's joint candidate from Hassan Lok Sabha segment, which went to polls in the first phase.

"No, there is no such option. Blue Corner Notice has been issued and the Interpol will share the information. The respective country in which he is found or identified - they will inform them (Interpol) and then our agencies, the CBI will get to know, and through them we will get to know."

"So far there is no information," Parameshwara said.

He was responding to a question on reports about the SIT team travelling abroad in connection with the case.

Speaking to reporters, he said, "Investigation is going on, not to affect the investigation we don't want to share any information."

Responding to a question on Union Minister Pralhad Joshi's statement alleging conspiracy behind the arrest of BJP leader Devaraje Gowda, for making allegations against Congress leaders in connection with the case, Parameshwara said, "If anyone says anything I cannot react to it. We cannot respond to every public statement. As this is a serious case, we cannot share information until the investigation is completed."

"My request to the public and to our leaders is to be cautious while making statements. If not, based on the statements given by them, we may have to call them for investigation and record their statement under 41 A of CrPC," he added.

Asked whether JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy will also be served notice, the Minister said he is a former CM and that he believes that the former has taken this case seriously.

"Before giving any statements on this case or before sharing any information in the public domain, one has to be cautious, and this applies to all," he added.
