Bengaluru, Oct 24: In a bizarre incident, two students who had gone to their college in a drunken condition jumped from the second floor after being scolded by the principal.

The incident took place at St Claret College at Jalahalli area in Bengaluru on Monday. Both the students were immediately taken to MS Ramaiah hospital and they are said to be out of danger.

Their parents did not file a complaint, but the two students gave a statement to the Jalahalli police on Tuesday.

A senior police officer said that the incident occurred around 1.30 pm. As the two students were attending classes, one of their classmates could smell alcohol on them, and alerted the class teacher.

The teacher reported it to the principal, Father Benny, who called the two students into his chamber and forced them to get their parents to the college. The principal warned them about coming to the college drunk and told them not to repeat it again. Embarrassed by the entire episode, one of the students jumped from the second floor corridor. As the security guards rushed to his help and alerted the college authorities, the other student too jumped from the third floor.

The two students were then taken to M.S. Ramaiah Hospital. The police said that the students, residents of B.K. Nagar in Yeshwanthpura, are from poor families.

College authorities told the police that they were regular students and did not skip classes. They also did not have any negative image among classmates. One of the students told the police that his parents asked him to do chores at home and he did not have enough time to study. That was the reason he took to drinking, he told the police.

Lokayukta team arrives at disputed plot; CM likely to get ED summons

Mysuru, Oct 1: The Karnataka Lokayukta team on Tuesday arrived at the disputed plot in Mysuru and began investigation into the MUDA case against CM Siddaramaiah and his wife, news agency ANI reported. Snehamayi Krishna, the complainant in the case was also present with the team.

Sources stated that ED sleuths might issue a notice to CM Siddaramaiah at any time and issue summons to him for questioning. The sleuths are also keenly watching the movements of CM Siddaramaiah’s close associates and relatives, including a cabinet minister in connection with the MUDA scam.

Sources further said that there is a possibility of the ED conducting raids across the state on offices and residences of close associates of CM Siddaramaiah. The ED has also gathered information on bank accounts and financial transactions of CM Siddaramaiah and his associates.

The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) on Monday registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), equivalent to an FIR by the police, against CM Siddaramaiah over the alleged irregularities in the allotment of 14 sites to his wife Parvathi B.M. by the Mysore Urban Development Authority. The ED registered the case taking cognisance of the FIR registered against the Chief Minister by the Lokayukta police on September 27.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka Lokayukta probing the MUDA case has also expedited the probe. The sleuths led by Mysuru Lokayukta SP T.J. Udesh have visited the controversial land on the outskirts of Mysuru city. The petitioner, Snehamayi Krishna, also accompanied the team.

The move of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife to return 14 sites allotted by the MUDA to her has triggered a debate. BJP MLA from Mysuru T.S. Srivatsa stated on Tuesday that the move of CM’s wife is not acceptable. "The two commissioners who colluded in the MUDA scam are roaming freely even today," he said.

"CM Siddaramaiah first claimed that there was no scam at all. Later, he formed a commission and now there is an FIR against him. After committing the mistake, you offer to return the sale deed. The time is up. He will have to tender his resignation and I am sure he won’t be in the position until Dasara festivities," MLA T.S. Srivatsa stated.

T.J. Abraham, one of the petitioners in the MUDA case said, “I had demanded the MUDA commissioner to take back the allotted sites. He had written back saying the process would be initiated. They were waiting for the investigation report."

"CM Siddaramaiah has not approached the division bench or the Supreme Court to challenge the order against him because there is nothing to be challenged. Returning sites is not a big sacrifice. The Chief Minister has lost it," Abraham stated.
