Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat has warned Karnataka government of dire consequences if it withdraws hijab ban in educational intuitions imposed by previous BJP government.

Speaking at the 'Sankeerthana Yatra', held as part of Hanuman Jayanti celebrations, in Srirangapatna taluk, Mandya district, on Sunday, December 24, Bhat alleged that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is sowing seeds of differences among the people.

Pointing out the CM's recent statement of proposing to withdraw the order on 'hijab', he said, "The CM has spoken about lifting the ban on 'hijab'. Does he have the 'power' to do it"?

Commenting on the Muslim girl Bibi Muskan Khan, who had chanted ‘Allahu Akbar’ when a group of BJP-sponsored anti-hijab agitators chased her in the college campus chanting communally provocative slogans, Bhat said "If you want to say 'Allahu Akbar', say it in your house or at the mosque. But if you want to be here, you should chant 'Jai Sri Ram' ".

The RSS leader also issued threats to the Muslim girl. "The girl (Muskan) has told of returning to college. Let her go to college if she has the courage", Bhat challenged.

Thousands of Hanuman devotees participated in the Yatra that was launched by the RSS leader, at the Anjaneyaswamy temple, near Nimishamba temple, in Ganjam, in Srirangapatna taluk.

Mangaluru: A tragic incident unfolded on Sunday, November 17, at Vazco Resort (VAZCO), situated at Battappadi Cross Road in Someshwara on the outskirts of the city, when three young women drowned in the resort’s swimming pool.

Disturbingly, an iPhone recording and CCTV footage captured their final moments, providing insights into the heartbreaking accident.

According to City Police Commissioner Anupam Agrawal, the tragedy occurred at approximately 10:05 AM. The victims were identified as:

Keerthana N (21) from Devaraj Mohalla, Hebbal Second Stage, Vijayanagar Post.
Nishitha M.D (21) from 4th Cross, Kuribarahalli, Mysuru.
Parvathi S (20) from Ramanuja Road, K.R. Mohalla, Mysuru.

Sequence of Events

The three women had checked into Room No. 2 of the resort on the morning of November 16 and stayed overnight. On Sunday morning, around 10 AM, they entered the swimming pool to play. Reports suggest that they placed their clothes poolside and set an iPhone to record the activity.

Initial findings indicate one woman slipped underwater and began to struggle. When the second attempted a rescue, she too drowned, followed by the third woman. Within minutes, the tragedy claimed all three lives. CCTV footage from the resort corroborates the sequence, showing the young women struggling before succumbing to the water.

Investigation Underway

The resort staff discovered the lifeless bodies and immediately raised the alarm. Ullal Police Inspector H N Balakrishna and his team are conducting an investigation. Preliminary reports suggest the women were non-swimmers, and the lack of safety measures contributed to the tragedy.

The resort is owned by Manohar, as per police records. While the formal case is yet to be registered, the incident has raised serious questions about safety protocols at resorts offering pool facilities.
