A road rage incident in Bengaluru involving an IAF officer and a call centre employee leads to mutual complaints and public scrutiny, with investigations underway.

IAF assists investigation into attack on official

An IAF officer and a call centre employee were involved in a Bengaluru road rage incident. Both parties filed complaints, leading to legal actions. Public attention heightened as videos circulated, prompting a thorough investigation.

The Indian Air Force on Tuesday said it is assisting the local authorities in investigating a case involving one of its officers who has been booked in connection with an incident of road rage in Bengaluru.
"An unfortunate incident, involving an Indian Air Force (IAF) officer, took place in Bengaluru yesterday. The lAF is assisting the local authorities in investigating and following up the case to its lawful resolution," the IAF said in an official statement.
According to the police, an FIR has been registered against the 40-year-old IAF officer on charges of attempt to murder, criminal intimidation, and voluntarily causing hurt based on a counter-complaint by a call centre employee, who was previously arrested on the officer's complaint in a road rage incident.
Indian Air Force Wing Commander Shiladitya Bose made an allegation in a video he shared that he was attacked and verbally abused by a group of Kannada-speaking individuals who chased him on a bike in Bengaluru early Monday morning.
Terming it a case of road rage, police arrested Vikas Kumar, who works as a team head at a software company's call centre.
Both parties have attacked each other, and some videos purportedly show the IAF officer roughing up Vikas Kumar, creating a scene for the onlookers.
The officer was captured engaging in an argument with Kumar and beating him up in full public view, even as his wife tried to stop him.
The incident occurred while the officer was on his way to the airport with his wife, who is also an Indian Air Force (IAF) officer.
A case has been registered against Shiladitya Bose under 109 (Attempt to murder), 115 (2) (Voluntarily causing hurt), 304 (Snatching), 324 (Mischief), 351 (Criminal Intimidation) and 352 (Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Byappanahalli police station based on the counter complaint given by Vikas Kumar who alleged that he was also assaulted by the officer, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Devaraj D.
Both cases are being investigated, police said.

IAF officer booked for assault on call centre employee in Bengaluru's road rage incident

An IAF officer and a call center employee were involved in a road rage incident in Bengaluru, resulting in a public altercation. Both parties filed counter-complaints, with video evidence showing their confrontation.

An FIR has been registered against a 40-year-old IAF officer based on a counter-complaint by a call centre employee, who was previously arrested on the officer's complaint in a road rage incident, police said on Tuesday.
Indian Air Force Wing Commander Shiladitya Bose made an allegation in a video he shared that he was attacked and verbally abused by a group of Kannada-speaking individuals who chased him on a bike in Bengaluru early Monday morning. Terming it a case of road rage, police arrested Vikas Kumar, who works as a team head at a software company's call centre.
Both parties have attacked each other, and some purported videos showed the IAF officer roughing up the accused, creating a scene for the onlookers. The officer was captured engaging in an argument with Kumar and beating him up in full public view, even as his wife tried to stop him.
The incident occurred while the officer was on his way to the airport with his wife, who is also an Indian Air Force (IAF) officer.
A case has been registered against Shiladitya Bose under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Byappanahalli police station based on the counter complaint given by Vikas Kumar who alleged that he was also assaulted by the officer, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Devaraj D.
In a video statement, Kumar's mother Jyothi sought justice for her son and asked isn't it wrong to put the blame entirely on her son? She said being a commander, an IAF officer, he thrashed her son and also damaged his bike.
"Even after doing all this, if we had given a complaint against the officer, it would have become a big issue. But we didn't initially give a police complaint and returned, thinking let it go....this is a small issue. But now they (the officer and his wife) have made this a big issue and are troubling my son. I want justice for my son," she added.
Based on a complaint lodged by the officer's wife, Squadron Leader Madhumita Dutta, a case was registered at the Byappanahalli police station against unknown individuals, police said, following which Kumar was arrested in the case.
DCP said, "An altercation took place between them. Both attacked each other. Around 6 am on Monday, the Air Force officer was heading from his DRDO quarters to Kempegowda International Airport. His wife was driving, and he was seated beside her." Analysis of CCTV footage from the area and videos recorded by bystanders showed that both parties could have avoided the conflict, he added.
"When they came to the police station, he was advised by the SHO to get first aid, as he was bleeding, and then return to file the FIR. But since he was getting late, he left for the airport. Once he went live on social media, we found out. We then traced Madhumita's details and approached the DRDO quarters. She came to the station and lodged a complaint. We have registered an FIR under (section dealing with) grievous hurt," he said.
During questioning, Vikas Kumar claimed that he was passing by when the woman allegedly made a remark and he asked, "What are you talking about?" and then approached the IAF officer to ask, "What is Madam saying?".
"We have a lot of video evidence and will proceed with the investigation," the DCP said.&nbsp;

Wife of ex-Karnataka police chief Om Prakash arrested for his murder following son's complaint; domestic violence and property dispute suspected as motive.

Wife arrested in Karnataka ex-DGP Om Prakash murder case

Wife of ex-Karnataka police chief Om Prakash arrested for his murder following son's complaint; domestic violence and property dispute suspected as motive.

Police probing the murder of former Karnataka DGP Om Prakash have arrested his wife Pallavi on a complaint by their son Kartikesh who suspected the involvement of his mother and sister in the killing.
On Monday, a police officer said the case has been transferred to the Central Crime Branch of Bengaluru (CCB) for further investigation.
"The investigating officer in the case has arrested Pallavi Om Prakash (64)," the officer added. Later, she was produced before a judge, who sent her to judicial custody for 14 days.
When police took Pallavi to the crime scene, she told reporters there that "domestic violence" was the reason behind the extreme step.
The body of the former Karnataka police chief, a 1981 batch IPS officer hailing from Bihar, was found in a pool of blood on the ground floor of his three-storey house in the posh HSR Layout in the city on Sunday.
It is learnt that a heated exchange of words led to Pallavi allegedly throwing chilli powder on Prakash's face, police sources said.
As the former police chief scrambled for relief from the burning sensation caused by chilli powder, Pallavi allegedly stabbed him multiple times, killing him on the spot, they said.
Sources claimed that after killing her husband, she made a video call to her friend to say, "I have killed the monster." In his complaint, Kartikesh alleged that his mother Pallavi had been threatening to kill his father for the past one week. "Due to these threats, my father went to stay at his sister's house," he said.
"Two days ago, my younger sister Kriti went there and pressured my father to return home. She brought him back against his will," Kartikesh alleged.
He said that on Sunday around 5 pm, when he was at the Karnataka Golf Association in Domlur, his neighbour called him to inform him that his father was found lying downstairs.
"I rushed home and found police officers and people present on the spot. My father was lying in a pool of blood with injuries on his head and body. A broken bottle and a knife were found next to his body. He was then taken to St John's Hospital," he explained.
"My mother Pallavi and my sister Kriti used to fight with my father often. I strongly suspect that they are involved in the murder of my father. I request you to initiate legal action in this case," he said in his complaint to the police.
Sources said the murder was the culmination of frequent run-ins between the couple. It is learnt that a dispute over a piece of property in Karnataka's Dandeli was the focal point of the crime.
A few months ago, Pallavi had approached the HSR Layout police station to lodge a complaint. When the staff there refused, she staged a sit-in in front of the police station, sources claimed.
It has also been learnt that Pallavi was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was taking medicines.
Meanwhile, the former top police brass was cremated with full state honours in Bengaluru on Monday after the autopsy. Kartikesh performed the last rites.
Speaking to reporters after the cremation, Kartikesh said, "After yesterday's incident, I lodged a complaint. The police are doing their job, and I have full faith in them. I don't want to comment further as the investigation will reveal everything. Let's wait for that." The 68-year-old retired IPS officer was a native of Champaran, Bihar, and held a Master's degree in Geology. Prakash was appointed Director General of Police on March 1, 2015.&nbsp;

IAF officer alleges assault in Bengaluru; one arrested

An IAF officer was assaulted in a Bengaluru road rage incident; police arrested one person and launched an investigation after videos went viral.

A man was arrested in connection with an incident in which a 40-year-old IAF officer was allegedly assaulted and verbally abused by a group of Kannada-speaking individuals who chased him on a bike in Bengaluru early Monday morning. Police have termed it a case of road rage.
The accused, Vikas Kumar, works as a team head at a software company&rsquo;s call centre, they added.
According to police, both parties attacked each other.
Purported videos showed the IAF officer roughing up the accused and creating a scene in public. The officer was seen arguing with Kumar and hitting him, even as his wife tried to stop him.
The incident occurred while the officer was on his way to the airport with his wife, who is also an IAF officer.
Based on a complaint by the officer&rsquo;s wife, Squadron Leader Madhumita Dutta, a case has been registered at the Byappanahalli police station against unknown individuals.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Devaraj D told PTI: "This is a case of road rage. An altercation took place, and both sides attacked each other. The accused has been taken into custody. At around 6 am, the officer was heading from his DRDO quarters to Kempegowda International Airport. His wife was driving, and he was seated beside her. An altercation broke out between the couple and a bike rider." CCTV footage and videos recorded by bystanders suggested that the conflict could have been avoided, he added.
"When they came to the police station, the SHO advised the officer to get first aid, as he was bleeding, and return to file the FIR. But since he was getting late, he left for the airport. After he went live on social media, we traced Madhumita's details and contacted the DRDO quarters. She came to the station and lodged a complaint. We have registered an FIR under grievous hurt," the DCP said.
During questioning, the accused claimed he was passing by when the woman allegedly made a remark. He said he asked, "What are you talking about?" and then approached the officer, asking, "What is madam saying?" An argument followed. "We have ample video evidence and will proceed with the investigation," the DCP added.
Wing Commander Shiladitya Bose alleged he was attacked and verbally abused by men who followed them on a two-wheeler.
He posted a video on Instagram narrating the events and showing injuries on his face and neck.
"We live in DRDO, CV Raman Nagar Phase 1. This morning, my wife was driving me to the airport when a bike came from behind and blocked our car. I&rsquo;ll share dash cam footage too. One of the riders started abusing me in Kannada. On seeing the DRDO sticker, he said, &lsquo;You DRDO people,&rsquo; followed by more abuse. He then abused my wife. I couldn&rsquo;t take it," he said.
Recounting the assault, Bose said: "When I got out of the car, he immediately hit me on the forehead with his keys. I stood there shouting, asking if this is how people treat Defence personnel. More individuals gathered and began abusing us." He added, "That man even picked up a stone and tried to damage our car. When I tried to stop him, he hit me again. You can see the blood&mdash;this is what happened. Thankfully, my wife was there to get me out." Bose also claimed they went to the police station but did not receive immediate help.
"But this is what Karnataka has become. I believed in this state, but after today&rsquo;s incident, I&rsquo;m shocked. God help us. God give me the strength not to retaliate. But if law and order fail, I will," he said in the video.
While the exact location is yet to be officially confirmed, Bose said the incident took place on the route from CV Raman Nagar to the airport.
In a second video posted later, Bose said he was heading to Kolkata to visit his ailing father. He described the assault as &ldquo;shocking&rdquo; and said it had deeply affected his family.

The Neeraj Chopra Classic in Bengaluru features top javelin athletes. The event promises a global lineup and marks a milestone in Indian athletics with plans for future expansions.

Neeraj Chopra Classic Moves to Bengaluru

Witness the Neeraj Chopra Classic in Bengaluru as world-class javelin athletes, including Anderson Peters and Thomas Rohler, compete. The event marks a significant moment for Indian athletics with its first edition featuring esteemed participants and promising future growth.

Bengaluru gears up for Neeraj Chopra classic 

The Neeraj Chopra Classic will now take place in Bengaluru's Kanteerava Stadium, featuring top javelin stars. The move ensures better facilities, with participation from global champions and Indian athletes.

The maiden edition of Neeraj Chopra Classic javelin throw event on May 24 has been shifted from Panchkula to Bengaluru due to lack of adequate lighting at the original venue but the field will be teeming with stars as the likes of Anderson Peters and Thomas Rohler have confirmed their participation.
Peters, who hails from Grenada, is a two-time world champion and Rohler is the gold-medallist from the 2016 Olympics. Chopra said he has also invited Pakistani Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem who is, however, yet to confirm participation.
"I have sent invitation to Arshad and he said he will get back to me after discussing with his coach. As of now he is yet to confirm participation," Chopra told reporters in a virtual media interaction.
The competition has been granted category A status by World Athletics.
"I wanted the event in Panchkula but there are certain issues related to lighting at the stadium there. World Athletics requirement is 600 lux (a measure of the intensity of light), which is not there (in Panchkula) and it will take time (to install it)," he said.
"So, we have decided to shift the event to Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru. We have a team there and it will be lot easier for the event to be staged there," said the 27-year-old who is also supported by Bengaluru-based JSW Sports.
The event will be jointly organised by Chopra and JSW Sports in collaboration with the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) and World Athletics, featuring top global as well as Indian javelin throwers.
Besides Peters, who also won a bronze medal in the 2024 Paris Olympics, and Rohler, the participation of Kenyan Julius Yego, a silver-medallist in the 2016 Rio Olympics besides being a 2015 World Championships gold winner, and American Curtis Thompson, who is the current season leader with 87.76m, has also been confirmed.
"A Brazilian, who qualified for the final in (Paris Olympics) has also confirmed participation," Chopra said without giving name, though it could be Luiz da Silva, who finished 11th in Paris with a best throw of 80.67m.
"I'm very much involved in the organisation of the event, which is a dream come true for me. I am also competing. Yesterday, I spoke to Rohit (Yadav) and three to four Indians will be competing. It will be a very good opportunity to get ranking points for World Championships in Tokyo (in September)." He said his current coach Jan Zelezny, the legendary world record holder, suggested that the event should be named after the Indian superstar.
"I was talking to Zelezny about this event and he said that it would be good if it is named after me.
"I am very excited. I have won Olympic and other medals for the country. Now with this event, I am giving back something to Indian athletics, to Indian athletes and the fans." He said the NC Classic will be an annual competition and he is hoping that events other than javelin will be added in the future.
"I wanted to state that this event will be an annual affair. As of now, it will be just a men's javelin event. But in future, I am hoping that women's event and other events will also be added.
"If you ask me, I want a Diamond League Meeting to be held in India. We have the stadium to host DL Meetings, and it will be good for World Athletics also to spread athletics. World Athletics knows that athletics is growing in India." The fans will need to buy tickets to watch the NC Classic javelin event.
"There will be tickets for the event, for different boxes. But we will try that the ticket price is not too much. The fans should feel the ticket price is worth the enjoyment of watching the event," said Chopra.

KL Rahul celebrated a significant IPL win inspired by the film 'Kantara' at Chinnaswamy. His 93* against RCB highlights his deep ties to the stadium.

KL Rahul's 'Kantara' Celebration in IPL

KL Rahul, inspired by 'Kantara', celebrated DC's victory against RCB at Chinnaswamy. His knock of 93* was a masterclass, showcasing his deep stadium connection.

KL Rahul celebrated a significant IPL win inspired by the film 'Kantara' at Chinnaswamy

KL Rahul celebrated a key IPL victory against RCB at Chinnaswamy, drawing inspiration from 'Kantara'. His performance included a brilliant 93* run chase, reinforcing his deep connection to his home stadium.

Delhi Capitals' wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul, renowned for his usually calm on-field demeanor, broke character with an animated celebration after his team&rsquo;s pivotal victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL.
The celebration, which has since gone viral, was inspired by the 2022 Kannada film "Kantara"&mdash;a movie Rahul holds dear. The cinematic gesture seemed to declare the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, a ground intrinsic to Rahul&rsquo;s cricketing journey, as his own.
"This ground is special to me," Rahul explained in a video shared by DC. "The celebration was inspired by one of my favorite movies, Kantara. It was a reminder that this ground, this turf, is mine."
In "Kantara," a character famously plants a sword into the ground, a visual that Rahul mirrored by emphatically thumping his chest and pointing towards the pitch and his jersey.
Rahul&rsquo;s connection to the Chinnaswamy Stadium runs deep. As a Karnataka native, he honed his skills here and had stints with RCB during the 2013 and 2016 IPL seasons.
At this venue, his T20 record speaks volumes; he has accumulated 544 runs in 20 matches at an average of 41.84 and a strike rate surpassing 145, with his top score being an undefeated 93. His IPL contributions here include 475 runs in 18 matches, averaging 43.18.
The recent IPL encounter against RCB highlighted Rahul&rsquo;s prowess yet again. After Delhi invited RCB to bat first, a stellar spin performance from Kuldeep Yadav (2/17) and Vipraj Nigam (2/18) restricted the hosts to 163/7 in their allotted 20 overs.
Standout performances came from Phil Salt (37 from 17 balls) and Tim David (37* from 20 balls), overcoming the aggressive opening partnership between Salt and Virat Kohli.
In response, Delhi Capitals found themselves tottering at 58/4, before Rahul and Tristan Stubbs took charge. Their unbroken 111-run partnership for the fifth wicket steered the team to victory.
Rahul&rsquo;s commanding knock of 93* off 53 deliveries, punctuated by seven fours and six sixes, earned him the 'Player of the Match' title. Stubbs offered solid support with his 38* from 23 balls.
Rahul&rsquo;s recent form has been remarkable, tallying 185 runs in just three matches with two half-centuries.
His performances have left DC sitting comfortably in second place with four consecutive wins, while RCB holds the fourth spot with three wins out of five.
In summary, KL Rahul's inspired celebration not only resonates with his love for cinema, particularly "Kantara," but also underscores his deep-rooted connection to a ground synonymous with his cricketing career.

A Bengaluru teacher and two accomplices arrested for extortion, blackmailing a student's parent for Rs 4 lakh, demanding Rs 20 lakh more.

Bengaluru Teacher, Accomplices Arrested for Extortion

A teacher in Bengaluru, with two accomplices, extorted money from a parent using blackmail. Now arrested, this highlights safety concerns in education.

A Bengaluru teacher and two accomplices arrested for extortion, blackmailing a student's parent

A Bengaluru teacher and her accomplices were arrested for blackmail, extorting Rs 4 lakh from a parent, and demanding Rs 20 lakh further.

A school teacher in Bengaluru has been arrested alongside two accomplices for allegedly blackmailing and extorting money from a student's parent. The Central Crime Branch apprehended 25-year-old Sridevi Rudagi, along with her associates, Ganesh Kale, 38, and Sagar, 28, for extorting Rs 4 lakh and subsequently attempting to blackmail the victim for an additional Rs 20 lakh.
The victim, Satish (name changed), is a trader residing in a western Bengaluru locality with his wife and three daughters. His troubles began when he enrolled his youngest daughter, a five-year-old, in a school in 2023, where he first encountered Rudagi during the admission process.
Maintaining contact, their relationship soon became intimate, facilitating Rudagi's initial extortion of Rs 4 lakh. The situation took a darker turn in January when Rudagi demanded a further Rs 15 lakh. As Satish hesitated, she visited his home under the pretext of borrowing Rs 50,000.
Facing business challenges, Satish decided to relocate his family to Gujarat and sought his child's Transfer Certificate in early March. Upon visiting the school, Satish found himself cornered in Rudagi's office by her accomplices, Kale and Sagar.
They threatened him with private photos and videos, demanding Rs 20 lakh to prevent the materials from being sent to his family. Desperate, Satish negotiated the demand down to Rs 15 lakh, making an initial payment of Rs 1.9 lakh, but the threats persisted.
On March 17, Rudagi contacted Satish again, outlining a distribution of the demanded money: Rs 5 lakh for a purported former police officer, and Rs 1 lakh each for Kale and Sagar, with the remaining Rs 8 lakh for herself.
However, an investigation revealed that the police officer had no involvement, prompting Satish to seek police assistance. The authorities swiftly intervened, arresting Rudagi and her accomplices. All three have been remanded to judicial custody for 14 days as investigations continue.
This case underscores the vulnerability parents can face even in environments deemed safe, highlighting the need for vigilance and integrity in educational institutions.

His comments were swiftly criticized on social media, with many people blaming the state's ruling Congress government for delayed projects and the city's ongoing traffic woes.

Bengaluru Traffic: Shivakumar's Bold Remarks

Even God can't fix Bengaluru traffic overnight: D.K. Shivakumar 

His comments were swiftly criticized on social media, with many people blaming the state's ruling Congress government for delayed projects and the city's ongoing traffic woes.

Karnataka's Deputy Chief Minister, D.K. Shivakumar, sparked a considerable uproar on Wednesday with his remarks about Bengaluru's persistent traffic and infrastructure challenges. He suggested that even divine intervention could not resolve these issues overnight.
His comments were swiftly criticized on social media, with many people blaming the state's ruling Congress government for delayed projects and the city's ongoing traffic woes.
"Bengaluru can't be changed in two or three years. Even God can't do that. It can be changed only when proper planning is done and executed well," Mr. Shivakumar remarked, during the inauguration of a workshop on road construction.
His comments come at a time when residents and urban planners in Bengaluru are voicing concerns over deteriorating traffic conditions, delayed metro projects, and insufficient public transportation. Critics point out that while the government has proposed ambitious infrastructure projects, the execution has been slow and erratic.
Economist and Aarin Capital Chairman, Mohandas Pai, challenged Mr. Shivakumar&rsquo;s statements, questioning the government's progress in addressing Bengaluru's infrastructure issues. "Minister DK Shivakumar, it has been two years since you assumed office! We welcomed you as a strong Minister. But our lives have worsened!" Mr. Pai expressed on social media. He highlighted that significant infrastructure projects are still incomplete, that footpaths remain in poor condition, and that public transport is lacking. He urged for urgent actions, including the immediate purchase of 5,000 electric buses, a cleaner, more walkable city, and 24/7 work on the metro expansion.
The opposition BJP also criticized Mr. Shivakumar, accusing the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government of incompetence. "It's unfortunate that someone who once promised to elevate 'Brand Bengaluru' now claims that even God can't fix it. Then who can?" said BJP leader Mohan Krishna to NDTV. "The government should be focused on development, not other distractions."
In response, Mr. Shivakumar later mentioned that his government has released a handbook addressing all pending issues in Karnataka's capital. This includes plans for designing new roads and bus stands aimed at alleviating the city's severe traffic problems.

Abhishek MR wins Rs 65,000 from PVR and INOX for ad delays in Bengaluru court. The ruling emphasizes consumer protection against unfair cinema practices.

Bengaluru Court Fines Cinemas for Ad Delays

Bengaluru man sues PVR-INOX over excessive ads

Abhishek MR wins Rs 65,000 from PVR and INOX for ad delays in Bengaluru court. The ruling emphasizes consumer protection against unfair cinema practices.

In a noteworthy ruling, a consumer court in Bengaluru awarded a 30-year-old man compensatory damages of Rs 65,000 after he successfully sued PVR Cinemas, INOX, and BookMyShow for wasting his time by showing lengthy commercials prior to a movie screening.
The case was brought forward by Abhishek MR, who claimed that he faced "mental agony" after commercials delayed the start of his movie, impacting his subsequent plans.
In 2023, Abhishek purchased tickets for a 4:05 pm screening of 'Sam Bahadur.' Expecting the movie to conclude by 6:30 pm, he had planned to return to work afterward. However, the film began at 4:30 pm, following over 25 minutes of advertisements and trailers. This delay, according to Abhishek, led to the disruption of his schedule and financial losses that were not easily quantifiable.
Abhishek's complaint argued that his "precious time" was squandered due to misleading show timings, claiming it constituted an "unfair trade practice" as the cinemas profited by showcasing lengthy commercials.
The court affirmed his stance, emphasizing that "time is considered as money." It directed PVR Cinemas and INOX to compensate Abhishek Rs 50,000 for the unfair trade practice, Rs 5,000 for mental distress, and Rs 10,000 for expenses related to the complaint. Additionally, each cinema was fined Rs one lakh. BookMyShow, being merely a ticket-booking facilitator, was not held liable.
In its order dated February 15, the court underscored that "no one has the right to gain benefit out of others' time and money," lamenting the inconvenience of sitting "idle" for 25-30 minutes watching unnecessary advertisements. The court acknowledged the challenge such delays pose for individuals with tight schedules.
PVR Cinemas and INOX, in their defense, cited legal obligations to screen Public Service Announcements (PSAs) for public awareness. However, the court stipulated that these should be limited to 10 minutes before the film begins and during intermission.
Furthermore, the court instructed PVR Cinemas and INOX to pay Rs one lakh to the consumer welfare fund, with a 30-day deadline for the payment following the judgment.

<h3>Bengaluru Police Halt Sheeran&rsquo;s Street Performance</h3>
Hours before his concert, Sheeran attempted an impromptu street performance on Church Street, but it was unexpectedly cut short by Bengaluru Police, who unplugged his speakers and stopped the show within a minute.
A viral video captured the moment when Sheeran had just begun performing before police officials intervened. Later, the singer clarified that his team had secured prior permission for the performance.
Speaking on the matter, Shekar T Tekkannanavar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) for Central Bengaluru, explained, "A member among the event organisers came to meet me to seek permission for the Streetside performance at Church Street. I refused to give permission because Church Street gets very crowded. That is the reason he was asked to vacate the place."
<h3>India Tour Continues with Star-Studded Collaborations</h3>
Sheeran&rsquo;s India tour has been filled with iconic musical moments. Before Bengaluru, he performed in Hyderabad and Chennai, where he shared the stage with legendary composer AR Rahman for a special rendition of the timeless hit Urvashi.
Ahead of the Chennai concert, Sheeran met AR Rahman and his son AR Ameen at their studio. Rahman later shared photos of their meet-up on Instagram, where Sheeran was seen posing and exploring the music console. The caption read, "Photos by Ed Sheeran."
With successful performances behind him, Sheeran is now set to take his tour to Shillong and Delhi NCR, where fans eagerly await his next show.

Bengaluru faces two tragic suicides due to relationship and financial pressures. The incidents call for enhanced support systems.

Bengaluru: Cab driver dies by self-immolation, another man ends life over Rs 2 crore debt

Two tragic suicides in Bengaluru underscore relationship and financial pressures. The community mourns, highlighting the need for stronger support systems.

Two tragic suicides in Bengaluru: A cab driver set himself ablaze near his estranged wife&rsquo;s house after reconciliation failed, while a 55-year-old man ended his life over Rs 2 crore debt at a city mall. Investigations are ongoing.

A 39-year-old cab driver, Manjunath H, set himself on fire near his estranged wife&rsquo;s house on Thursday after she refused reconciliation during ongoing divorce proceedings.
Manjunath, a native of Tumakuru, married Nayanaraj in 2013. The couple, who have a nine-year-old child, separated in 2022 and filed for divorce in 2023 over persistent arguments. Despite his repeated attempts to reconcile, Nayanaraj declined, citing their frequent quarrels.
On Thursday morning, Manjunath visited his wife&rsquo;s house in Bengaluru, seeking to mend their relationship. After being rebuffed, he returned with a bottle of inflammable liquid and set himself ablaze. He was rushed to a nearby hospital by Jnanabharathi police but was declared brought dead by doctors.
In another tragic incident, a 55-year-old man, identified as Manjunath T C, died by suicide at Mantri Square Mall in Malleswaram around 9 pm the same day. A native of Tiptur, Tumakuru, he was residing in Ullal Upanagar, Bengaluru.
The Malleswaram police recovered a suicide note from the scene in which the deceased cited financial troubles as the reason for his drastic step. Initial investigations revealed debts of approximately Rs 2 crore, which likely contributed to his decision.
Both incidents have left the city grappling with the devastating impacts of strained relationships and financial distress.

In an eye-opening operation across Karnataka, Lokayukta's raids unveiled alleged corruption among eight officials, including top figures from transport and health sectors, challenging public trust and integrity.

Bengaluru: Lokayukta raids 8 officials over disproportionate assets

Karnataka's Lokayukta exposed potential corruption in major raids on eight officials, including high-profile figures like Shobha and Dr. Umesh. This scrutiny challenges the integrity of public service, seeking transparency.

Lokayukta officials raided properties linked to eight government officers accused of amassing disproportionate assets. The targeted officials include those from the Transport, Health, and various other departments. Raids took place in Bengaluru.

On Wednesday, Lokayukta officials conducted raids at several locations tied to eight government officers, including a Joint Commissioner from the Transport Department, accused of amassing assets beyond their known income sources.
The officers under investigation include Shobha, the Joint Commissioner of Transport in Bengaluru; Dr. S. N. Umesh, the Kadur Health and Family Welfare Officer; and Ravindra, an Inspector in the Minor Irrigation Department based in Basavakalyan.
Other officials facing scrutiny are Prakash Sridhar Gaekwad, Tehsildar of Khanapur; S. Raju, a retired Road Transport Officer from Tumakuru; Huchesh alias Huchappa, Assistant Executive Engineer in Gadag Municipality; R.H. Lokesh, Welfare Officer in the Backward Class Department in Ballari; and Huliraja, Junior Engineer at the BESCOM office in Raichur.
Raids were carried out at the homes and offices of these officers in Bengaluru and other locations. The Lokayukta is expected to provide further details by the end of the day.

Bengaluru: Family of four found dead in their rented home

A tragic incident unfolded in Bengaluru when a family of four, including a software consultant and his wife, were found dead in their rented home. The police suspect a murder-suicide.

A tragic incident unfolded in Bengaluru when a family of four was discovered dead in their rented home. The deceased, Anup Kumar (38), a software consultant, his wife Rakhi (35), and their two young children, Anupriya (5) and Priyansh (2), were found by the family&rsquo;s house help on Monday morning. The case is being treated as a suspected murder-suicide.
Anup and Rakhi, originally from Prayagraj, had been living in Bengaluru for Anup&rsquo;s job in a private firm. The house help, unable to reach the family despite repeated attempts, alerted neighbors who then informed the police. Upon entering the home, authorities found the bodies of the family.
An initial investigation revealed that the couple had poisoned their children before taking their own lives by hanging. The police suspect that emotional strain, possibly related to their daughter Anupriya&rsquo;s special needs, may have played a role in the tragedy. The family had appeared to be in good spirits and had plans to visit Pondicherry, with packing completed just the day before.
Despite the apparent normalcy, no suicide note was found, and the investigation is ongoing. The police are examining all angles, including the emotional and financial pressures the family may have been facing.

An eight-month-old baby in Bengaluru is suspected to be infected with Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV). Awaiting lab confirmation, Karnataka Health Department states no official cases yet.

Two cases of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) have been detected in Karnataka, as confirmed by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
These cases were identified through routine surveillance for respiratory viral pathogens, which is part of ICMR's ongoing efforts to monitor respiratory illnesses across the country, according to a press release by Health Ministry.

&nbsp;
HMPV is already in circulation globally, including in India, and has been linked to respiratory illnesses in various countries.
However, based on data from ICMR and the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP), there has been no unusual rise in Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) or Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SARI) cases in the country.
The two HMPV cases are as follows:
<ul>
<li>A 3-month-old female infant was diagnosed with HMPV after being admitted to Baptist Hospital in Bengaluru for bronchopneumonia. The infant has since been discharged after recovering.</li>
<li> An 8-month-old male infant tested positive for HMPV on January 3, 2025, after being admitted to the same hospital with bronchopneumonia. The infant is currently recovering.</li>
</ul>
 Neither of the affected patients had any history of international travel.
The ministry said it is monitoring the situation through all available surveillance channels. The ICMR will continue to track trends in HMPV circulation throughout the year. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been providing timely updates on the situation in China to inform ongoing measures.

Atul Subhash, a Bengaluru software engineer, died by suicide amidst claims of marital harassment. His note and video highlighted legal battles, urging justice.

Bengaluru Techie’s Suicide Note Alleges Harassment, Abetment Charges Filed

Atul Subhash, a Bengaluru software engineer, died by suicide amidst claims of marital harassment. His note and video highlighted legal battles, urging justice.

A day after a 34-year-old techie from Uttar Pradesh died by suicide after blaming his wife and her family, the police on Tuesday said they have been booked for abetment of suicide. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Atul Subhash, who worked for a private firm in Bengaluru, left behind a 24-page death note, giving extensive details of what he alleged was years long of emotional distress of marital issues; multiple cases filed against him and harassment by his wife, her relatives, and a judge based in Uttar Pradesh, police said. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Subhash's body was found hanging at his residence in the Manjunath Layout area, which falls under the Marathahalli police station limits, they added. A placard reading "Justice is due" was found in the room where he ended his life. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Before taking the drastic step, he recorded an over 80-minute video on Rumble, explaining the circumstances under which he had decided to die by suicide. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; In the video, which has now gone viral on social media platforms, Subhash can be heard saying, "I feel that I should kill myself because the money I earn is making my enemies stronger. That same money will be used to destroy me, and this cycle will keep going. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; "With the money from my taxes, this court and police system will harass me, my family, and other good people. So, the supply of value should be finished." &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; He demanded that, after his death, his wife and her family should not be allowed near his body. Until his alleged harassers were punished, he asked his family not to immerse his ashes. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Demanding justice, Subhash urged his family to throw the ashes outside the court's gutter if his alleged harassers were not found guilty. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; "Based on a complaint from his family, we have registered a case of abetment of suicide against his wife and her family members. All the allegations are being looked into, and we are investigating the matter," a senior police officer said. No arrests have been made yet, he added. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; According to police, preliminary investigations revealed that Subhash had been facing marital discord with his wife, who had also registered a case against him in Uttar Pradesh. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; He also sent his death note via email to several people and shared it with a WhatsApp group of an NGO he was associated with, the officer said. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Additionally, in his death note, Subhash requested that custody of his child be granted to his parents, stating that they could "provide better values". &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; In his death note, Subhash mentioned getting married in 2019. The couple had a son, the following year. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; He alleged that his wife&rsquo;s family repeatedly harassed him for money, demanding several lakh. When he refused, his wife reportedly left their Bengaluru home with their son in 2021, he alleged in this suicide note. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Subhash further alleged, "My wife will keep my child alienated and file more cases to harass me, my elderly parents, and my brother, using the money I pay her as maintenance. Instead of using it for our child's welfare, she is weaponising it against us."

The detained suspects have been identified as bomber Mussavir Hussain Shazib and his accomplice Abdul Matheen Ahmed Taahaa.

The National Investigation Agency has detained two main suspects in the Bengaluru Rameshwaram cafe blast case. According to reports, the suspects were picked from West Bengal.
The detained suspects have been identified as bomber Mussavir Hussain Shazib and his accomplice Abdul Matheen Ahmed Taahaa. NIA said they were traced to their hideout near Kolkata and apprehended.
NIA had announced a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh for information on them.&nbsp;
Shazib was the one who placed the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) at the cafe and Taahaa was the mastermind behind the planning and execution of the blast, the officials said.
"In the morning hours of April 12, 2024, NIA was successful in tracing the absconding accused near Kolkata where they were hiding under false identities," an official said.
This pursuit was supported by coordinated action and cooperation among the NIA, central intelligence agencies and the state police agencies of West Bengal, Telangana, Karnataka and Kerala, the official added.
The NIA had last month announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh each for information leading to the arrest of these two accused.
An IED explosion rocked the cafe located on ITPL Road, Brookefield, Bengaluru, on March 1.

A woman lawyer from Bengaluru was allegedly made to strip on camera by scamsters who had extorted around Rs 15 lakh from her.

Bengaluru woman lawyer forced to strip online by scamsters, loses around Rs 15 lakh

A woman lawyer from Bengaluru was allegedly made to strip on camera by scamsters who had extorted around Rs 15 lakh from her.

A woman lawyer in Bengaluru fell prey to cyber criminals and during 'video arrest' for two days she not only lost money to the tune of Rs 14.57 lakh but also posed nude on camera for them, police sources said on Tuesday.
According to police, the incident occurred between April 3 and 5.
A complaint in this regard was registered at the Bengaluru East division cybercrime police station.
The 29-year-old victim from the city received a call from a person claiming to be from the customer care of Fedex, international courier giant, who told her parcel had been returned and she has to speak to the customer care executive.
The executive told her the parcel contained five passports, three credit cards and 140 synthetic narcotics (MDMA) sent from Mumbai to Thailand in her name.
She was told since the parcel contained narcotics, it was on hold and if it has not been placed by her then she should reach out to the cyber crime team in Mumbai to register a complaint of ID theft.
"After I confirmed that yes, I want to make an identity theft complaint, they transferred my call to cyber crime team in Mumbai. The cyber crime team asked me to download Skype and enter an email id in order to chat with them," she said in her complaint.
They then asked her about the 'illegal parcel' and her Aadhaar card details.
The 'cyber crime team' then said they would speak to higher authorities.
"I was then informed that my Aadhaar card was on high alert for human trafficking and drugs. After this, the Skype call was transferred to an alleged senior CBI officer named Abhishek Chauhan where I was asked to switch on the camera and start a conversation," the complainant said.
The 'CBI officer' informed her that there is a case of human trafficking, money laundering and identity theft, she said.
"They kept grilling me about my bank account details such as existing balance, my annual CTC, my monthly income and my investments. I gave them all the needed information," the victim told police.
She was forced to take an oath not to disclose any details with anyone until the investigation was completed as this was a 'highly sensitive case.' The victim was prevented from speaking to her parents and police and told to cooperate with them because "there were police and politicians involved in this case."
She was asked to remain online with the camera on and share her screen so that they could check whether she called or texted anyone.
"For an entire day I was watched even during the night. I was asked to keep the camera on and sleep," she said in her complaint.
On April 4, she was asked to transfer Rs 10,78,993 from her bank account to the account holder name Nithin Joseph, which she diligently did.
Further, they made two separate transactions of Rs 2.04 lakh and Rs 1.74 lakh on Amazon on April 5.
On the pretext of conducting 'narcotic tests', she was forced to strip and pose on camera, the woman said in the complaint.
She alleged she was threatened to continue doing it or else she and her family would be arrested in a drug case.
"The alleged officer later blackmailed me that if I don't give him Rs 10 lakh by 3 pm on April 5, he will sell her video to multiple people including dark web," she said in her complaint.

A shocking incident has come to light where a few men attacked a 'strict' colleague with an iron rod in Bengaluru. 

Bengaluru men attack 'strict colleague' with rod, 5 arrested 

A shocking incident has come to light where a few men attacked a 'strict' colleague with an iron rod in Bengaluru.&nbsp;

A video has come to light in which men were seen attacking a person with a rod in Bengaluru. As the incident went viral, police arrested five accused from east Bengaluru.&nbsp;
The men are being charged with attempted murder. Police traced the victim and arrested the accused.&nbsp;
The victim is identified as Suresh, who works as an auditor at a milk product company in Bengaluru. Two of the five accused, identified as Umashankar and Vinesh, are Suresh's colleagues.&nbsp;
Bengaluru police said in a statement, "The five suspects have been arrested by police from east Bengaluru. The victim and two of the accused seemed to have been working in the same firm, and the assault was due to a difference of opinion."
Police said Umashankar and Vinesh claimed that Suresh used to put a lot of pressure on them. The victim, Suresh, joined the company a year ago. He allegedly harassed and demanded that all employees clear the stock balance promptly.
Suresh also complained about Umashankar and Vinesh&rsquo;s relaxed attitude and delay in clearing the balance to the company&rsquo;s seniors, who took strict action against the duo.
