Bengaluru, Jan 29: An aspiring chartered accountant is accused of peddling drugs. Vishruth N Raj, 27, working at a CA’s office, allegedly started peddling drugs to make a quick buck, police said, adding they have seized 1.2 kg of hashish oil and three kg of ganja from him. Both of these items are banned. 

Raj, a resident of Dwarakanagar in Channasandra in East Bengaluru, had enrolled on a CA course after graduating in commerce. He simultaneously started interning at a CA’s office. 

Police believe Raj got into drug peddling after befriending Praveen alias Mummy, a native of Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, while both of them were doing a CA course in Hyderabad. It was Praveen who supplied him hashish oil and ganja. 

Police arrested Raj when he was allegedly trying to sell the banned substances in Jayanagar 9th Block on January 20. Sudhir M Hegde, Assistant Commissioner of Police (Mico Layout), and Tilaknagar police inspector Anil Kumar G S headed the team that nabbed Raj.  

Police have learnt that Raj had sourced the drugs from Praveen for Rs 6 lakh and planned to sell it for more than Rs 12 lakh. His customers were students and select residents of  SG Palya, Koramangala, HSR Layout, Jayanagar and JP Nagar, police said.

Mangaluru: A tragic accident took place on Saturday at Chembugudde near Thokkottu, claiming the life of a 47-year-old woman after a tanker lorry ran over her. The victim, identified as Rahmat H Rashid, was riding pillion with her husband, Abdul Rashid G, on their scooter. 

The couple was traveling from Yenepoya Hospital to Bajpe when the scooter skidded on the poorly maintained road. Rahmat fell onto the road and was fatally struck by a tanker lorry that was coming from behind. Despite being rushed to the hospital, doctors declared her dead upon arrival.

The incident prompted a swift response from the DYFI Ullal Taluk Committee, which staged a protest on Saturday night, condemning the unsafe condition of the road. Nithin Kuthar, president of the committee, criticized MLA and Legislative Assembly Speaker UT Khader for failing to ensure safe infrastructure, despite touting the road as toll-free. 

Kuthar demanded immediate repairs, warning that the committee would march to the MLA’s office with black flags if the road is not fixed within a week.

Former DYFI State President Sunil Kumar Bajal also voiced frustration over the deteriorating condition of Thokkottu market, highlighting the struggles people face while crossing roads riddled with dangerous potholes. In response to public outcry, temporary repairs were made to the road at Chembugudde on Sunday, though locals remain wary and demand a more permanent solution.

Union minister Amit Shah on Friday, November 15, said PM Narendra Modi will amend the Waqf Act despite opposition from leaders like Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar.

"Modi ji wants to change the Waqf Board law, but Uddhav ji, Sharad Pawar and Supriya Sule are opposing it," Shah said, addressing a rally at Umarkhed in Maharashtra's Yavatmal district.

"Uddhav ji, listen carefully, you all can protest as much as you want, but Modi ji will amend the Waqf Act," he said. Shah said there are two camps in the November 20 Maharashtra assembly polls, one of 'Pandavas' represented by the BJP-led Mahayuti and the other of 'Kauravas' represented by Maha Vikas Aghadi.

"Uddhav Thackeray claims that his Shiv Sena is the real one. Can the real Shiv Sena go against renaming Aurangabad to Sambhajinagar? Can the real Shiv Sena go against renaming Ahmednagar to Ahilyanagar? The real Shiv Sena stands with the BJP," Shah said.

"Rahul Baba used to say that his government would credit money in the accounts of the people instantly. You were unable to fulfil your promises in Himachal, Karnataka, and Telangana," he said.

Shah said the Mahayuti alliance has promised that women will get Rs 2,100 per month under the Ladki Bahin Yojana. "Kashmir is an integral part of India and no power in the world can snatch it away from us," Shah said.
