Manipal, February 12: Welcomgroup Graduate School of Hotel Administration, (WGSHA) Manipal students conducted a two-day food festival called “Thai Chimney” on February 9 and 10, at Fortune Inn Valley View.

The students created the theme and they were solely responsible for putting up the culinary extravaganza. The concept, the operational set-up, the menu, the service design, the layout, the decor and the marketing of the event are all taken care of by a set of students. It was a hands-on experience for them. From laying the tables to taking orders and serving, it was their show.

Celebrity chef Vikas Khanna, an alumnus of WGSHA, who during his recent visit for the college Annual Day on February 3, gave a few tips on how to go about doing things differently in the kitchen.

Another set of students was busy in the kitchen, cooking and plating. And there was yet another set busy serving the guests - students and their parents from other institutions of the University. Some of the dishes served were: Thai Veg Spring Rolls and Chicken Satay, leaf-wrapped sear fish, Vegetarian and non-vegetarian Dimsums, Assorted Seafood, stir-fried in Red Curry, Massaman curry with vegetables, Fiery and Tangy vegetables in Sweet Garlic Sauce, Chicken in Thai Green Sauce, served with Veg fried rice and noodles.

The bakery served Creamy Cendol, Multilayered butter cake and cookies with crispy fruit fritters, vanilla ice cream and honey, whilst the bar came up with refreshing mocktails like Mai Tai, Mango Coladine, crazy cranberry and fizzy watermelon.

During the course of the festival the work of each and every participating student was closely observed by the college faculty members who evaluated them on food presentation and service. “We also take into consideration the feedback from the guests,” said the head of the Food Production Department, Chef K. Thiru.

“Participation in such events is essential for all students of Hotel Management as they get an opportunity to come across real life situations, learn entrepreneurial skills and get a first-hand feel of the operation in which they are very enthusiastically involved,” said Mr. Kulmohan Singh, the Vice Principal of the College.

Bengaluru, May 6: Arrested JD-S MLA H.D. Revanna, the son of former PM H.D. Deve Gowda, on Sunday said that there is no evidence against him in the sex video scandal kidnapping case and that it was a "conspiracy" against him.

Talking to the media, while being taken for a medical test before being produced in front of a court here, Revanna stated that a kidnapping case had been lodged against him though he does not have 'one black mark' against him in his entire career of 40 years.

"Without evidence, I have been targeted... All allegations against me are false. My arrest has been made out of ill intention," he claimed.

"The case was lodged on April 28, then, they did not have any evidence. Later, the fake evidence was created on May 2 and I was fixed," he alleged.

Home Minister Dr G. Parameshwara stated on Sunday that a Blue Corner notice has already been issued against Revanna's son and MP Prajwal Revanna, the prime accused in the sex video scandal, as he is believed to be abroad.

"The Interpol will communicate to all nations and he will be located. Once he is located, the SIT will take a call on how he should be secured and brought back to India," he added.

Revanna was arrested on Saturday on charges of kidnapping one of the victims of the sex video scandal.

Parameshwara further maintained that the arrest of Revanna has saddened JD-S leaders and if action was not taken, the SIT would be blamed too.

Meanwhile, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge refused to comment on the alleged sex video scandal involving Prajwal Revanna.

About Revanna's arrest, he said that the SIT would initiate action as per the law. "Those indulging in such acts must be taught a lesson and justice should be given to the families of victims. No one can escape the law. No one should use this case politically," he stated.

A day after National Commission for Women said no woman from Hassan approached the national body to file complaints against Karnataka MP Prajwal Revanna, a new FIR accusing BJP leader Devaraje Gowda of abusing and assaulting a woman has come to light.

The FIR against Gowda was filed by a woman at the Holenarasipura town police station on April 1, after her husband had filed a complaint against the BJP leader on March 30. 

The purported victim's husband has alleged in his plaint that Gowda barged into their home, and threatened the couple while the BJP leader also abused the woman.

Gowda, notably, flagged Prajwal Revanna's case to the saffron party.

Reacting to the allegations levelled against him, the BJP politico posted a video on Facebook where he details how he met the woman and her husband in his office. He also claims that the allegations against him are a plot and false.

It must be noted here that a Special Investigation Team is currently probing the sexual assault cases against Prajwal Revanna who along with his driver Karthik is no longer in the country. A Blue Corner notice is also in place to apprehend the son of H D Revanna who himself is placed under judicial custody till May 14.

In a major twist to the entire case— the woman in the FIR alleged that Devaraje Gowda who apprised BJP of the sex videos involving Prajwal Revanna— has been harassing her for the past 10 months under the guise of helping her sell a property.

The woman also said that she came in contact with Gowda during the process involving the property that she wanted to sell. However, on the pretext of guiding her, the woman alleged that the whistleblower BJP leader physically assaulted and harassed her while Gowda also threatened the couple.

The woman has now sought police protection for herself and family. Further levelling allegations against Gowda in her plaint, she said that the politico had taken her to an isolated place where he assaulted her and threatened to kill the couple.

Former chief minister of Karnataka and Prajwal Revanna's uncle H D Kumaraswamy recently demanded a CBI probe in the Prajwal Revanna matter. However, Home Minister G Parameshwara turned down the demand for the investigation to be handed over to CBI.
