Abdul Nasar Ma'dany moves High Court again for bail

July 23, 2013

Bangalore, Jul 23: Abdul Nasar Ma'dany, an accused in the 2008 Bangalore serial bomb blasts, on Monday moved the Karnataka High Court seeking bail.

This is the third time Ma'adani is moving the High Court for bail on health reasons even as his two earlier pleas for release on bail were rejected.

Justice H N Nagamohan Das, before whom the petitions came up for hearing, adjourned further hearing to July 25 while asking the State Public Prosecutor to file objections.

In his petition, Ma'adani, who is a leader of People's Democratic Party, alleged that the prison authorities were not providing him with regular follow-up treatment even though they had provided him treatment for his ailments at two private hospitals as per the earlier orders of the court.

It was further claimed in the petition that doctors at Soukhya International Holistic Centre, where he was treated as per court's earlier order, had certified that he requires close monitoring and treatment by specialist doctors for a period of six months and another six months for recuperation.

He has also claimed that the doctors have advised complete bed rest and daily attention from family members.

It has been pointed out in the petition that if he is not allowed to take proper treatment by releasing him on bail, he would lose his left leg; his right leg has already been amputated due to diabetes and that he would also lose sight in the left eye.

He has already lost vision in the right eye.

Ma'adani also alleged in the petition that the police are protracting the trail by not ensuring presence of witnesses while pointing out that so far only 70 witnesses have been examined of the total 550.

Besides, he has claimed that the police investigation had found that there was no mobile phone in his name which was involved in any conversation with others.

Ma'adani (46), who was arrested in August 2010 from Kerala, is lodged in Central Prison Bangalore since then. He claims to be suffering from other ailments like cardiac problems, disc prolapse, cervical spondylosis etc.

SIT raids rape accused BJP MLA Munirathna’s residence, 15 other locations

September 28,2024

Bengaluru, Sep 28: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing charges against arrested Karnataka BJP MLA N. Munirathna Naidu, including allegations of rape, honey-trapping, and other offences, on Saturday conducted raids at his residence and 15 other locations across the city.

Sources confirmed that the raids were taking place at his Vyalikaval residence and other properties owned by the BJP MLA. The operation is being conducted by the SIT under the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) led by ACP Kavitha.

The team is examining documents, electronic devices, and other materials related to the rape and honey-trapping case. The SIT is being supported by experts from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), with Superintendent of Police (SP) Sowmya Latha also participating in the search and inspection at Munirathna’s Vyalikaval residence.

According to sources, the raids were triggered by information provided by the victim, who alleged that Munirathna recorded footage of sexual assaults and used it to blackmail politicians and public servants, including IAS and IPS officers.

The victim reportedly revealed that she was used to entrap the woman who had lodged a rape case against a senior IFS officer. She was allegedly instructed to frame the rape victim in a drug peddling case.

The complainant told police that she was tasked with capturing compromising videos of the rape victim who had filed the case against the IFS officer. She claimed that, after several failed attempts to obtain the videos, the victim was drugged with sleeping pills, and obscene footage was recorded without her consent. Later, the IFS officer was bailed out from the charges.

Furthermore, the complainant has accused MLA Munirathna of raping her at his office within the state legislature, in his official vehicle, and at his godown. She has alleged that he recorded videos of these assaults.

Police sources also revealed that the victim in the MLA's case provided details of a plot involving sending HIV-infected women to Munirathna's targets in an attempt to ruin them politically and personally. She also disclosed the names of several politicians whom she had entrapped through honey-trapping.

The woman further claimed that Munirathna had threatened to have her son kidnapped and killed if she refused to comply with his demands. According to her, the MLA had a well-organised team dedicated to carrying out these honey-trapping operations, and she provided details about his close associates and relatives involved in the scheme.

Munirathna, who was in judicial custody following his arrest in the rape and honey-trap case, has now been taken into the custody of the SIT.

The MLA was transferred from Bengaluru Central Jail to the CID office on the night of September 24. The BJP legislator, however, has denied all the allegations, claiming they are false.

Karnataka Congress leader D.K. Suresh had alleged that Munirathna was trying to infect his adversaries with HIV and that the government should investigate the matter.
