No cases pending against me, HDK a big liar, says Siddu

Bengaluru, Jul 20: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday denied he withheld details of cases pending against him in the affidavit filed by him during the 2013 Assembly elections.

“Charges made by JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy that 10 cases were pending against me in Mysuru are false. All the cases were closed way back in 2008... He (Kumaraswamy) is a big liar,” the chief minister told reporters.

The police had filed petty cases such as unlawful assembly for staging protests in Mysuru, he said.

Many of these cases were filed in 2007. The CID subsequently submitted a C' report and it was accepted in 2008, Siddaramaiah added. But Kumaraswamy has tried to mislead people by claiming that the cases were not disclosed during the 2013 elections, he said.

He, however, admitted that Congress worker Marigowda had staged protests with him and that cases were also filed against him.

Mysuru Deputy Commissioner C Shikha recently filed a case against Marigowda for abusing her. Marigowda is said to be a close aide of Siddaramaiah.

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.
