Bengaluru, Apr 12: CCB sleuths on Wednesday recorded the statement of R V Yuvaraj, BBMP corporator and the son of Chickpet MLA, R V Devaraj, over the pub brawl case involving Mohammed Haris Nalapad.

The CCB during the course of the investigation found that Yuvaraj was present in Farze Cafe, UB City, on February 17 when Nalapad and his associates reportedly assaulted Vidwath L, a fellow diner.

Yuvaraj, however, denied being present in the pub during the incident and said he went there only half an hour later after learning about it. He said when he went to the pub, there was no one around and he returned. He also clarified that he was nowhere connected to the case.

On Tuesday, CCB sleuths summoned PWD Minister H C Mahadevappa's son Sunil Kumar Bose in connection with the case. The CCTV footage showed he was one of those present in the pub during the incident. The footage shows him overseeing the assault from close to the table where the incident happened.

Bose, however, told the sleuths that he was quite far away from the spot of the incident and that he just remembered it as an argument between two groups.

Such a great fellow he is.. He will do classes on drug related issues among young generation and at the same time he will do all

nonsence and crimes after having drugs.. He is real living example or he just showing the all things in practical

If police and court delaying punishment, by doing questioning and evidence collection, then he will escape easily with his father's influence and money

He is too young in age... There are more evidences of his crime. He just proved he is a born criminal. Punish him properly

Major facelift for Mangaluru's sporting heart: Mangala Stadium set for 2-month closure to upgrade synthetic track

News Network

December 15,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Educational institutions in Mangaluru that rely on the popular Mangala Stadium for their annual sports events are bracing for an inconvenience as the city's key sporting venue is set to close its gates for a significant upgrade. The stadium is expected to be unavailable for approximately two months starting from January 15, 2026.

The closure is necessitated by a proposed overhaul of the stadium's facilities, with a special focus on upgrading the synthetic track. Pradeep Dsouza, Assistant Director of the District of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES), Dakshina Kannada, confirmed the development.

"Experts have visited the stadium, conducted a thorough inspection, and have given the go-ahead for a complete makeover," Dsouza stated. "Funds have been allocated for the project, and we are currently awaiting the final green signal from state officials to commence the work. We anticipate that the work will likely begin in the second week of January. Consequently, we have stopped renting out the stadium to colleges and other organizations in preparation for the upgrade."

The timing presents a logistical challenge for colleges, as many schools have already concluded their sports meets.

"Colleges will now be organizing their events and will need to find alternative locations to host their sports meets," Dsouza added. He suggested a few potential venues, including the Dakshina Kannada police ground, University College grounds, Panambur grounds, Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri, and the Mangalore University sports grounds in Konaje.

However, many institutions note that finding a comparable venue will be difficult. While the DK police ground and University College grounds are closer to the city center, they do not possess the extensive facilities and infrastructure offered by Mangala Stadium.

Dr. P Dayananda Pai - P Satisha Govt First Grade College, Carstreet, is one such institution dependent on the stadium. Principal Jayakar Bhandary expressed hope for a swift completion of the work. "We expect the work to be completed at the earliest. If not, we will be forced to look for other venues to host the sports day for our students," Bhandary said, highlighting the pressing need for the city's main sporting facility.
