Shivamogga, Mar 30: A hardcore fan of actor Yash has threatened to bomb the Mescom office in Bhadravathi for power cut when a channel airs Kannada film ‘KGF’ on March 30 evening.

Senior police officers along with the dog squad rushed to Mescom office in Bhadravati on Friday and conducted search after the electricity supply company received a threat that their office will be exploded if power supply is disrupted on Saturday evening when a private TV channel will telecast Kannda movie KGF in which actor Yashis in the lead role.

Yash and another Kannada actor Darshan are campaigning for Independent candidate Sumalatha, who is locking horns with JD(S) candidate Nikhil Kumaraswamy in Mandya. This has come under severe criticism from CM Kumaraswamy and other JD(S) leaders.

In a letter to Mescom on Friday, an unknown person warned the company authorities that if they come under pressure from the CM and local JD(S) strongman Appaji and disconnect power supply when KGF movie is being telecast, a bomb will be exploded in their office.

Bhadravati police have registered a FIR in this connection. “Following the incident we have sought police protection to our offices,” said Mescom excecutive engineer HR Veerendra.

“We registered an FIR and launched an investigation,” said superintendent of police M Ashwini.

Brahmin Savarkar was non-veg eater; wasn't against cow slaughter: Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao

Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao reminded that V D Savarkar was not against cow slaughter as he himself was non-veg eater, PTI reported on Thursday.

"As a Brahmin he was eating meat, and he was openly propagating eating meat," said the minister at an event in Bengaluru.

Reacting to Gundu Rao's claim, BJP MP Anurag Thakur called Congress a "factory of lies" as he warned that India won't tolerate any disrespect towards Savarkar.

"By disrespecting Veer Savarkar they have shown that they don't respect freedom fighters. During the Congress government, Sardar Bhagat Singh was termed a separatist in textbooks...By making those who want to break the nation join the congress party, Rahul Gandhi is taking forward the ideology of 'tukde tukde' and he is a 'modern Jinnah' who speaks ill of the country abroad...," he said.

Meanwhile, a court in Maharashtra's Nashik district summoned Congress MP Rahul Gandhi earlier this week in a defamation case filed against him for his alleged objectionable remarks against the Hindutva ideologue.

The complainant, who is the director of an NGO, claimed he watched a press conference addressed by Gandhi in Hingoli and also a speech made by the Congress leader in November 2022.

He alleged that Gandhi, on the two occasions, by his words and visual representations knowingly harmed the reputation of Veer Savarkar and also tried to defame the latter's image in the society.

According to the complainant, Gandhi said "Savarkar is BJP and RSS jin" which was defamatory in nature.
