Bengaluru, Nov 5: The Bengaluru police, who are investigating into the murder case of RSS activist Rudresh, have made it clear that the alleged role of Popular Front of India leader Hashim Sharif, is not yet confirmed.

Mr Sharif, the Bengaluru district president of PFI, who was picked up by the police on Wednesday night as fifth accused in the case, has been remanded to police custody till November 16 by a local court.

A senior police officer said, “We are literally at a dead-end now. We will have to interrogate him and only then can we get some clarity in the case. We also have to find out if he had directed Mohamed Majidullah, Mohammed Sadiq, Wasim Ahmed and Irfan Pasha to commit the murder.”

There were also rumours doing the rounds that the case may be taken up by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). But, senior police officers said this would not be necessary as the Bengaluru city police had already cracked the case.

Demand for NIA or CBI probe

The Bharatiya Janata Party, which has now accused Mr. Baig of playing a role in the murder, has demanded that he step down from the ministry, and a CBI or NIA probe be ordered.

Shobha Karandlaje, BJP State general secretary and MP, demanded that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah convene a meeting of his Cabinet on Saturday to hand over the murder probe to either the CBI or the NIA, and to keep Mr. Baig out of the ministry pending an inquiry.

She said the BJP will stage a protest seeking his resignation in Bengaluru on November 8. She alleged that the government was bringing pressure on the State police team to hush up the case.

Ban sought on parties

Ms. Karandlaje said a delegation of BJP top leaders from the State is likely to meet Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on November 9 to seek a ban on the Social Democratic Party of India, the Karnataka Forum for Dignity, and the People's Front of India (PFI), in connection with the attacks on RSS workers.

The party which is involved in communalism since 1948 Gandhiji's killing, Babri masjid demolition, gujarath riot, muzaffarnagar riot, and all bomb blasts in past years, killed Rohit vemula and continued till Akhlak's brutal murder and still it's inhuman activity reached to such an extent that it killed it's own party leader praveen poojary in udupi and kidnapping najeeb, is demanding for a ban on organization which is working for Empowerment of Minority and dalith communities through its wonderful social activities.

Dear Mohan
What about freedom fighter group like rss bajrang ramsena durga sena sanathan sena. still they are fighting for freedom with holding Britisher's tail.

Come on live and let others to live peacefully. This world is for a short period to love each others. Not to follow hatred policy and group.
Try to bow in front of creator and not to mohan bagwath and his communal group.They are always with their upper caste policy.
Trust you will think for a peaceful life and society.

Who ever is doing the crime and their supportive group n their God fathers must be sent behind bar till their bone get bend. Sure there will be no communal riots or the crook politicians will play with normal people's lives for their benefits. Recently coastal Karnataka witnessed innocent's murder. No one came front for NIA or CBI probe. Seems now the NIA is completely controlled by RSS trained studentS. State govt must give warning to this shobha if not improved then strict action to be taken on her and send her behind bar for at least 4 to 5 years. Trust all will support except one.

Mangaluru: The long-awaited DC office complex in Padil is nearing completion, with plans underway to inaugurate the facility during Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s visit to Mangaluru for the State Olympics meet on January 17. Karnataka Legislative Assembly Speaker U T Khader inspected the site and emphasized the urgency of completing the ₹75 crore project within the set deadline.

“We aim to finish the work by January 10 so that the inauguration can align with the Chief Minister’s visit. However, the final decision will depend on the project’s readiness by then,” Khader stated during his site inspection.

The ambitious project, reflecting the rich Tulu Nadu heritage in its design, received administrative approval on April 28, 2015. Following delays, the work order was issued on February 3, 2018, and construction began on March 17, 2018. Khader assured that the building's traditional architecture will extend to its surroundings, including an aesthetically designed entrance gate.

Spread across 5.89 acres, the complex boasts a total plinth area of 21,054.88 sq m, encompassing multiple levels:

Basement: 4043.88 sq m
Ground Floor: 7553.36 sq m
First Floor: 4158.94 sq m
Second and Third Floors: 2561.28 sq m each
Roof 1 and 2: 88.07 sq m each

The facility aims to centralize government services by housing most departments—except Revenue and RDPR—under one roof. This initiative, Khader highlighted, will streamline operations, save time, and enhance convenience for both officials and the public.

"Officials have been directed to expedite the remaining work, ensuring its timely completion," he added, reaffirming the government’s commitment to creating a functional and visually iconic administrative hub for the region.

Bengaluru, Jan 4: Kannada star Dr Shivarajkumar, son of Kannada film legend Dr Rajkumar, has been discharged from the hospital in Miami, US, following complete recovery from cancer, family sources confirmed on Saturday.

Nivedita, Shivarajkumar’s daughter, has shared a picture showing the actor and family in a relaxed mode. Sources further stated that Shivarajkumar will be in the US for follow-ups and resting for one month and he will be back for the shooting by Feb first or the second week.

Shivarajkumar is expected to begin shooting of the Telugu superstar Ramcharan-starrer pan India movie soon. 

Earlier, Shivarajkumar shared a video from the US on the first day of 2025, detailing his journey of overcoming cancer and assuring fans of his return.

In the video, he conveyed his New Year wishes to everyone and said, “I am hesitant to speak as I might get emotional at this moment. Leaving Karnataka was a very emotional experience for me. Under these circumstances, fear is inevitable, but the support of my fans has significantly reduced it.”

He continued, “The way the doctors took care of me, gave me immense courage. While shooting for the movie ‘45’, I underwent chemotherapy and even filmed the climax fight scene. As the date to leave for the US for treatment approached, I became anxious. However, my wife Geetha and daughter Nivedita stood by me throughout.”

“Dr Manohar, who treated me, cared for me like a child. My urinary bladder has been replaced, but there is no need for anyone to panic. I am doing well and will be back with double the energy. I thank all my fans for their unwavering support,” Shivarajkumar assured.

Geetha Shivarajkumar, his wife, who had appeared in the video alongside him, stated that all the medical reports had come back negative, and it was officially declared that Shivarajkumar is cancer-free. “He recovered because of the blessings of his fans, and I will never forget this,” she said.

The actor underwent surgery at a hospital in Miami, US, where his cancerous bladder was removed. According to the surgeon, Dr Murugesh Manoharan, an artificial bladder was created using Shivarajkumar’s intestine.

In November, Shivarajkumar had spoken publicly about his illness, acknowledging that he was human like everyone else. While he didn’t disclose it was cancer at the time, he said, “At the end of the day, I am a human being. I have a health issue and am currently undergoing treatment for it. I have completed a couple of treatment sessions, and a few more are pending. After that, I will undergo surgery, either in India or the US.”

Mangaluru: Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in Singapore remain determined to establish direct air connectivity between Mangaluru and Singapore despite setbacks. This follows Air India Express' (AIE) recent decision to postpone its planned direct flight service on this route, disappointing many expats.

In response, NRIs have proposed an alternative solution: extending IndiGo's existing Singapore-Bengaluru flight to Mangaluru. Currently, the Singapore-Bengaluru flight lands at Kempegowda International Airport at 7:40 AM, but passengers cannot board the 9:00 AM Bengaluru-Mangaluru connection due to insufficient transit time. Extending the Singapore-Bengaluru flight to Mangaluru would address this issue and benefit travelers.

Rajesh H. Acharya, director of HQ Connections in Singapore and coordinator of the Singapore Tuluver community, expressed disappointment over AIE's handling of the situation. "We’ve been advocating for this route since 2017, and it was close to becoming a reality. However, the sudden postponement and lack of stakeholder support have delayed our efforts," he said.

A petition has been submitted to IndiGo Airlines requesting the introduction of a direct Mangaluru-Singapore flight. Alternatively, it suggests extending IndiGo’s existing Singapore-Bengaluru flight to include Mangaluru. Expats have also approached Scoot Airlines in Singapore for direct connectivity. However, the lack of 'Point of Call' status for Mangaluru Airport remains a significant hurdle for international flights.

Despite the challenges, NRIs continue their efforts to make direct air connectivity between Mangaluru and Singapore a reality.
