Yeddy-Shobha married couples, says KJP chief; engine oil poured on him

Bengaluru, Oct 29: A press conference by founder president of Karnataka Janata Party (KJP) Padmanabha Prasanna Kumar turned ugly on Friday with some miscreants pouring engine oil on him at the Press Club of Bangalore.

At the press conference, Kumar was claiming that he has proof to show that state BJP president B S Yeddyurappa had married Lok Sabha member Shobha Karandlaje.

As soon as he took Shobha's name, five youth in the guise of journalists rushed to

the podium and poured two cans of engine oil on him. A shocked Kumar could

not react for almost 10 minutes.

The youths raised slogansBharath Rakshana Vedike Zindabad' and said they will not tolerate anyone speaking ill about any respectable woman. The youths quickly bolted away from the scene before they could be caught.

Soaked in oil, Kumar claimed that there was threat to his life. “This is the second time I have been attacked. Earlier, I was attacked in Shivamogga while addressing the media. I have the video CD of Yeddyurappa's marriage with Shobha. I will release it, if I am given proper protection,” claimed Kumar.

The incident sent the Press Club management into a tizzy. Journalists started questioning what if someone is set afire during a press conference at the Press Club.

When contacted, S P Shivaprakash, general secretary of the Club, said the management has taken a serious view of the incident.

“We have reported the matter to the Vidhana Soudha police. We have came to know that one of the attackers is a certain Santosh Shetty. We will tighten the security at Club henceforth,” said Shivaprakash.

QR-code tips power Mangaluru's major drug bust: 25 arrested in 2 weeks

News Network

December 16,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 16: The Mangaluru City police have significantly escalated their campaign against drug trafficking, arresting 25 individuals and booking 12 cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act between November 30 and December 13. The crackdown resulted in the seizure of a substantial quantity of illicit substances, including 685.6 grams of MDMA and 1.5 kg of ganja.

The success of this recent drive has been significantly boosted by the city’s innovative, QR code-based anonymous reporting system.

"The anonymous reporting system has received an encouraging response. Several recent arrests were made based on inputs received through this system, helping police tighten the noose around drug peddlers," said the City Police Commissioner.

The latest arrests contribute to a robust year-to-date record, underscoring the police's relentless commitment to combating the drug menace.

Up to December 14 this year, the police have registered a total of 107 cases of drug peddling, leading to the arrest of 219 peddlers. Furthermore, they have booked 562 cases of drug consumption, resulting in the arrest of 671 individuals.

The scale of the seizure for the year reflects the magnitude of the problem being tackled: police have seized 320.6 kg of ganja worth ₹88.7 lakh and 1.4 kg of MDMA valued at ₹1.2 crore. Other significant seizures include hydro-weed ganja worth ₹94.7 lakh and cocaine worth ₹1.9 lakh, among others.

The Commissioner emphasized a policy of rigorous enforcement: "We ensure that peddlers are caught red-handed so that they cannot later dispute the case or claim innocence."

To counter the rising trend of substance abuse among youth, the Mangaluru City police have rolled out uniform guidelines for random drug testing across educational institutions.

As part of the drive, tests were conducted in approximately 100 institutions, screening an estimated 5,500 to 6,000 students in the first phase. 20 students tested positive for drug consumption during the initial screening.

Students who tested positive have been provided counselling and are scheduled for re-testing in the second quarter. The testing will also be expanded to students not covered in the first phase. In a move to ensure strict implementation, police personnel were deployed in mufti in some institutions. Reiterating a zero-tolerance stance, the Commissioner confirmed that random testing will continue, and colleges have also been instructed to conduct drug tests at the time of admission to deter substance abuse from an early stage.
