Bengaluru, Nov 15: After sudden raids, the income tax department has confiscated nine expensive cars and a super bike from high-profile 'conman' and Bengaluru native Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who is making the rounds of courts across the country under police escort.

Tax sleuths from Bengaluru raided a property in Kochi on November 10 and seized seven cars: a Porsche, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, Range Rover, BMW, Fortuner, Prado. They also seized a Ducati bike.

Sukesh shot into the limelight earlier this year when the political drama in Tamil Nadu was at its peak, and he was arrested on the charge of trying to bribe Election Commission officials for an election symbol.

Sukesh is said to be close to TTV Dhinakaran, nephew of Tamil Nadu politician V K Sasikala. Both Dhinakaran and Sasikala, convicted in a disproportionate wealth case, are in jail in Bengaluru.

An under-trial housed in Tihar jail, Sukesh was brought to Bengaluru on October 10.

Tax sleuths had gathered information that the Delhi police team escorting him had allowed him to meet his business associates and shop at the plush UB City mall. Unknown to him, a team of tax sleuths from the Karnataka Investigation Wing was closely monitoring his activities.

They raided a service apartment on Vittal Mallya Road and an apartment in Nagarabhavi and seized two luxury cars, a Bentley and a Jaguar, in addition to what they had already seized in Kochi. They also confiscated expensive wrist watches, said to be worth crores, in Bengaluru.

Sources said Sukesh went about business even under arrest. He received cash from his contacts in Bengaluru, and splurged Rs 5 crore, also in cash, to buy some luxury cars in August this year.

Navas, Sukesh's confidant in Kochi, is said to have been the custodian of his cars. The team from Bengaluru carried out searches in Kochi between November 8 and 10. It got the keys to a locked property in that city from Navas. The property is owned by an NRI. Navas has stated that all expensive articles, including the cars, belong to Sukesh.

In a heartbreaking incident, a beautiful journey of love and new beginnings was abruptly shattered by a tragic accident on the Mangaluru-Bengaluru highway at Talapady in Bantwal taluk on Saturday, September 7.

Manasa, a newlywed bride, lost her life in a devastating car accident, leaving her husband, Aneesh Krishna, critically injured.

The couple, who had just begun their marital journey on September 5, was returning from a temple visit to settle dues when fate took a cruel turn. Their Alto car, in which they were traveling from B C Road towards Mangaluru, skidded off course after the driver lost control, causing the vehicle to jump the divider and collide head-on with a KSRTC bus.

In the blink of an eye, their world crumbled. The impact was so severe that their car was left mangled, with Manasa tragically losing her life at the scene. Aneesh, fighting for his life, has been rushed to a private hospital in Mangaluru.

Manasa and Aneesh, both professionals working in a private company in Mangaluru, had dreams of a life together, filled with shared moments and cherished memories. The couple's love story, celebrated just days ago with their wedding at the Denthadka Temple, now echoes in the hearts of their grieving families, forever marred by this tragic accident.

The Melkar police arrived swiftly at the scene and have begun their investigation, hoping to bring clarity to this devastating event.

In the aftermath of this tragic accident, the community mourns the loss of a young bride and prays for the recovery of a husband left fighting for his life.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today sought a report from the Karnataka High Court over controversial remarks made by Justice Vedavyasachar Srishananda during a recent court hearing.

Justice Srishananda, while addressing a landlord-tenant dispute, referred to a Muslim-majority area in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and made a misogynistic comment involving a woman lawyer. 

A five-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, along with Justices S Khanna, B R Gavai, S Kant, and H Roy, expressed the need for establishing clear guidelines for constitutional court judges regarding their remarks in court. 

The Supreme Court bench said that when social media plays an active role in monitoring and amplifying courtroom proceedings, there is an urgency to ensure judicial commentary aligns with the decorum expected from courts of law.

"Our attention has been drawn to some comments made by Karnataka High Court judge Justice V Srishananda during the conduct of judicial proceedings. We have asked the AG and SG to assist us. We ask the registrar general of the High Court to submit a report to this court after seeking administrative directions from the Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court. This exercise may be carried out in 2 weeks," the top court directed.

Videos of Justice Srishanananda have gone viral on social media.

In one video, he refers to a Muslim-dominated locality in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and on another video he was seen making objectionable comments against a woman lawyer. In the second incident, Justice Srishanananda can be heard telling the woman lawyer that she seemed to know a lot about the "opposition party", so much so that she might be able to reveal the colour of their undergarments.

Mangaluru, Sept 9: An action committee has voiced concerns about the construction of a new toll plaza near Sooralpady Masjid on the Mangaluru-Moodbidri-Karkala National Highway 169, 17 km from Nanthoor. Amidst ongoing construction, the Action Committee Against Surathkal Toll Gate claims irregularities and poor site selection.

Committee convener Muneer Katipalla noted that only 50% of the Nanthoor-Moodbidri-Karkala highway upgrade is complete after seven to eight years. The Nanthoor-Vamanjoor stretch remains unfinished, causing traffic issues, while dangerous hillside cutting near Kettikal has forced residents to relocate. Additionally, a flyover near Kaikamba threatens a local market.

Katipalla also criticized the construction of a bypass road, alleging it benefits real estate investors and inflates the project cost, which could increase toll fees. The proposed toll plaza, situated 36 km from Talapady toll gate and 35 km from Brahmarakotlu toll gate, violates distance regulations and is too close to local amenities, raising public objections.

There is growing concern that toll collection might begin before the project's completion, with locals frustrated by unaddressed grievances. Social activist Bava Padarangi, DYFI leader Srinath Kulal, and other community leaders attended the site visit.
