Cops under pressure from politicians, senior officers:?Parameshwara

Bengaluru, Jul 25: Home Minister G Parameshwara on Sunday said yoga, meditation and counselling sessions will be conducted for policemen to help them withstand pressure.

The sessions will be conducted every week, he said at the passing out parade of the 61st batch of civil police constables at Karnataka State Police Training School at Channapatna in Ramanagara district.

“The cops work under pressure from politicians and senior officers. They also have problems in their domestic lives. Many of them are unable to withstand the pressure and problems. Hence, they are committing suicides,” he said.

Parameshwara said the Home Department has mooted the idea of conducting yoga, meditation and counselling sessions regularly to help police personnel find solutions to their problems. Such sessions would also make them tougher to face problems. The Home Department has discussed the proposal with counsellors and psychiatrists, he added.

The minister said that training curriculum for constables and sub-inspectors would be modified. Modern gadgets and technology-equipped vehicles will be given to the police department. The government is planning to recruit policemen on a regular basis to reduce burden on those in service, he added.

To a query, Parameshwara told reporters that the CID was yet to submit reports on suicides of DySPs Kallappa Handibag and M K Ganapathi.

Mangaluru: The Mangaluru CEN police have arrested a 23-year-old man for allegedly posting provocative and misleading content on an Instagram page named “mr_a_titude”, targeting the Bajpe police.

Mangaluru Commissioner of Police Sudheer Kumar Reddy C H identified the arrested as Abhishek M, a resident of Katipalla in Mangaluru.

A case has been registered at the Bajpe Police Station under Sections 353(1)(c), 353(2), 56, and 57 read with Section 189 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) in connection with the post.

According to police, the accused uploaded a photograph of a hotel on the Instagram page and alleged that accused persons in a murder case under the Bajpe police jurisdiction were being given “royal treatment” by the police, including being served beef meals daily from the hotel.

The post further accused the police of supporting criminals, misusing their authority, and betraying public trust. Police said the content was provocative in nature and aimed at inciting public outrage against the police.

Following the post, a case was registered at the Bajpe police station, and further investigation was transferred to the CEN police station.

Police records indicate that the accused has a criminal history, with multiple cases registered against him, including murder, attempt to murder, assault, and robbery at the Surathkal Police Station, and one case at the Kaup Police Station.
