Karnataka High Court shows green signal to Kambala in Udupi

October 29, 2016

Bengaluru, Oct 29: The High Court of Karnataka has finally permitted organising Kambala, a slush track buffalo race, in Udupi district as per the safety norms imposed in the State government's December 17, 2015 notification.

On Friday Justice A.S. Bopanna passed the interim order while staying the October 20, 2016 endorsement given by the Deputy Commissioner, Udupi district, rejecting the representation of the Udupi District Kambala Committee, which had sought permission for holding annual Kambala events at various locations in the district.

The court passed the interim order while taking note of a direction issued in March this year by a Division Bench, which had said that Kambala could be organised only on terms with the safety norms in the notification issued by the Department of Animal Husbandry on December 17 last year.

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.

The Commissioner said the accused was traced and arrested using technical evidence.
