The CID officials raided Expert PU College and Mahesh PU College of Mangaluru on Friday.

Apart from these two prestigious institutions, nine more private colleges across Karnataka including six in Bengaluru alone, were also raided on Friday.

The other colleges raided include Narayana PU College in Ballari and Vidyaranyapura in Bengaluru; Sri Chaitanya PU College in Vidyaranyapura and Ballari; Deeksha Integrated in Yelahanka and Tumakuru; Presidency College in Kempapura; Brindavan College in Sanjay Nagar; Royal Concorde in Kalyan Nagar.

According to reliable sources, during the raids the officials recovered incriminating documents that link the colleges to the Pre-Univesity chemistry paper leakage.

The raids were carried out based on the information provided by the three accused — K.M. Muralidhar, Anil Kumar and K.S. Ranganath — who were arrested on April 13. They told investigators that they shared the question papers and key answers with the management of the colleges, who in turn passed the information on to “select students”

CID officials suspect that more colleges are involved in the question paper leak racket and that the 11 colleges are just the tip of the iceberg. No arrests have been made so far as the police are verifying the seized documents.

Sources said the prime accused, Shivakumar, and his son, Dinesh, who are on the run might have more links with the colleges and tutorials across the State.

Sir,

I request all to stop blaming Mahesh PU college / Expert college. It is a good college and they are having good teachers also. If you give your non-sense comments like this. what about the future of the students who are studying there. Please think about the children and stop your non sense comments. Tell about good comments which will be very useful to children who are getting scared about this issue.

I would like to answer Mr. Prakash's Comments from Mysore:
Probably Prakash Sir may not be knowing how the selection will be done for great colleges of Medical and Engineering. There are competitive exams called CET, JEE Mains, JEE Advance, AIPMT, etc. which are not based on the Board subject marks. Let's not become Idiots to call others Idiots who have Sweat for 2 years sacrificing their social obligations to acheive the heights in their career. We do not have any morale to abuse and get cheap publicity!!!

If the students of Expert score better than others in the latest Chemistry paper which has been most securely distributed, what would be the opinion of the great fellows who are taking this opportunity to defame the institution. Will they shut all their openings which is presently being used to do the great job of JAGRUTI among the PUBLIC ? Let us wait and watch!!! TRUTH PREVAILS!

TV Channels can stoop down to any level for TRPs. Expert is one of the best PU College in the state with a Team of Dedicated teachers. Expert students do not require question papers to write the board or any other competitive exams. Just because Expert has been raining ranks in all competitive exams False allegations are been made. Lot of hard work is put in by the students too. I am a parent of a Expert Student.

this might have happened since many years, only parents paid huge money may justify the act of Expert,,they are giving justice to the students studying in their college by doing injustice to the rest and to the state and country,

This is something baseless and trying to defame the institution like EXPERT College which is following rigorous study pattern to keep the students ready for higher level of competitiveness required for entry in premier institutions like NITs, IIITs, IITs, etc. Just because we have freedom of speech let us not use it for defaming somebody Unless and until it is proved beyond doubts. Anybody to be blamed at this stage, it is the state government concerned department officials and Dirty Politicians who are involved in these type of illegal activities.

I don't think it's real in Mahesh & Expert as they drill the student like any thing many students will leave Expert beacuse of too much study only no other activites..even sunday they have college if there is like this they should give students atleast little free..where as here NO in every 10 students atleast 3 to 4 will leave bcz only study..study..no mobile nothing..like this type of education over their do u think they do..no chances...

The media shouldn't shame\\name the college unless proven. This will have an affect on the reputation of the college and also the students passing out through these colleges. Down the line, no one may give them admission even though for no mistake of the students and the college in case the college is proven innocent not guilty.

Such things are politically motivated with insiders of the PU board being involved for sure. Just because a student is a topper, that doesn't entitle the CID to interrogate them without looking into their educational history. If the student has been a topper all his Educations carrier he should not be questioned. This will have a psycological effect on the students.

First of all , I myself am a \Maheshian\" . The thing is , neither Mahesh PU nor Expert have leaked/shared the paper . Its just a rumour thats spreading ... The Media Will do almost anything to bring down our reputation. i have seen and experienced the \"Mahesh\" Way of Teaching And i dont think there's even a single chance of blaming us!!."

kindy karnataka Govt. pls take care about this and not to repeat this ....

And I read some comments about genuine students being blamed , I'm sorry to say this but I'm a genuine student We don't being blamed because we know the truth and we know how hard we have worked.
I've inculcated many values from expert. One amongst them is to respect teachers and the knowledge they provide us.
Without them we are nowhere. And put your self is any teachers shoes, wouldn't you be happy if the students are successful because of their teaching and hard work ?
And the fact of paying fees for this colleg if you'll feel it is more then don't put your children here .
It's not going to work if you'll talk here and later take back your words.
Try to put your children in any other college and see
No college has that study ambience as expert does
It's not that the media has guts to publish this.
Just that they have to do something other than biting their nails.

I don't get the point of you'll commenting about a college where you'll haven't even studied . Expert is one of the best colleges you'd ever see. When the students of other colleges enjoy their PU LIFE we have struggled and slothed to achieve success . Dreams are fulfilled only with hard work and determination. If you'll think that the college leaked papers to the students , then why can't youll also look upon the fact that not everyone is successful here.
Since I've been a student I know , how hard I've worked . 5-6 hours of sleep a day , not because they asked me to do so , because I was motivated by my goal to be something useful in life and here I am with a free medical seat . A payment seat would cost me a crore but I had to just pay 60k. I was close to some of the toppers in CET and in boards , and they have been doing extremely well in their respective college now too. Does this mean that their present universities leak papers ?
Think guys !
The time has come when some introspection by the Indian media is required. Many people, not only those in authority but even ordinary people, have started saying that the media have become irresponsible and wayward, and need to be reined in.They can do anything to increase their TRPs ..
People always try to pull successful people down. Think before you come to any conclusion. We are the future of this nation and not the MEDIA

I always wondered how come these colleges perform so well. I am sure there are some really talented students in these colleges who probably work hard and get where they want to go. Unfortunate part here is with those other students who worked hard and still have to go through this .... I can't imagine, Govt lost total control of PU exams. In India its a make or break deal for kids with their future. Being a son of a professor, I do know how honest professors were in the olden days. I am sure there are quiet a few left even now. Because of few culprits, value for education is going down hill. I really feel sorry for those students who really deserve the best but don't think they will get the justice this time.

Postal coaching a wastage sells @ 5000/- suppose they get rank he includes in his list of ranks.

It's really sad that Mahesh has been named in this. I'm aware of the situation there and it's nothing close to what has been published and what people are saying. This is definitely not true and the Media should verify such news before publishing it as it affects the college's reputation. As far as expert is concerned, we all know what goes on there.But again, we should wait for the Concerned persons to verify this piece of news. I hope mahesh comes out clean.

Bengaluru: Starting March, households in Karnataka will feel the pinch as the price of Nandini milk is set to increase by ₹5 per litre. The hike, which will take effect after the state budget on March 7, will also see a reduction in milk packet quantity from 1,050 ml to 1 litre. With this revision, the cost of a litre of Nandini toned milk will rise to ₹47.

This marks the latest price revision by the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) in the past three years. In 2022, milk prices increased by ₹3 per litre, while in 2024, KMF raised prices by ₹2 per packet but increased the quantity by 50 ml. However, KMF insists that last year’s change was not a price hike, as it involved a proportional increase in milk volume.

The increase in milk prices comes amid multiple price hikes across essential commodities and services. The Coffee Brewers Association has announced a ₹200 per kg hike in coffee powder rates by March, while BMTC bus and Namma Metro ticket fares have also been increased. Additionally, the state government is considering a rise in water tariffs, and electricity supply companies (Escoms) have sought approval for a 67-paise hike per unit from the Karnataka Electricity Commission.

According to KMF Managing Director B. Shivaswamy, the hike follows demands from farmers for a ₹5 per litre increase. "Earlier, we procured 85-89 lakh litres of milk per day, sometimes even 99 lakh litres. Now, the supply has dropped to 79-81 lakh litres per day, so the additional milk provided to consumers will stop," he explained.

Despite the price increase, Shivaswamy emphasized that Nandini milk will still be more affordable than other brands in Karnataka and other states, including those sold online. KMF is currently in discussions with farmer unions, milk unions, employee associations, and other stakeholders to determine how the increased revenue will be allocated.

"Ideally, the additional cost should benefit farmers. However, concerns raised by employee unions over financial matters, including 7th Pay Commission wages and pensions, also need to be factored in," said a KMF official on the condition of anonymity.

The final decision on the milk price hike now rests with the Karnataka Chief Minister, with an official announcement expected post-budget.

Mangaluru: The Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) has urged the Karnataka government to allocate Rs 3,000 crore in the 2025 state budget for the development of the tourism sector in Dakshina Kannada. This demand was made as part of the party’s ‘Janata Budget – 2025’ initiative.

Anwar Sadath S, president of SDPI’s Mangaluru Rural district unit, emphasized the district’s vast tourism potential, given its location between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. He suggested projects such as beach development, walking tracks, play zones, amusement parks, and other recreational activities to boost tourism in the region.

In addition to tourism development, SDPI has called for several key initiatives in the state budget:

•    Establishment of a government medical college and a super-specialty hospital in Dakshina Kannada.

•    Setting up a High Court bench and a government law college in the district.

•    Development of an IT Park to boost employment opportunities.

•    Minimum support price for arecanut and a dedicated research centre for arecanut diseases.

•    Expansion of healthcare facilities, including a branch of the Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research in Mangaluru.

•    Construction of residential accommodation for Muslim religious leaders serving in mosques and madrasas.

•    A special financial package for paddy farmers, offering Rs 2 lakh per acre as financial assistance.

Sadath criticized previous administrations for neglecting Dakshina Kannada, despite the district being one of the top tax contributors in Karnataka. He highlighted the dominance of private entities in education, healthcare, and business, stressing the need for greater government support in public amenities and welfare schemes.

SDPI urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to ensure adequate budgetary allocations for new projects, job creation, education, healthcare, and social welfare programs. The party insisted that the upcoming budget, to be presented on March 7, should prioritize balanced regional development across all districts.

Puttur, Feb 20: In a heartbreaking incident a 13-year-old boy died by suicide at Tannirupanta village in Belthangady taluk of Dakshina Kannada. 

The deceased has been identified as Shravan, a Class 7 student at a private school in Uppinangady. He was the son of Dombayya Gowda. 

According to reports, Shravan had dinner with his mother on Tuesday night (February 18), which included a chicken dish prepared by his aunt. 

After his mother fell asleep, he is believed to have taken his own life by hanging himself from a ceiling fan. Disturbingly, he had saved some of the chicken dish for the next day’s meal and had gathered flower buds for morning prayers, making the incident even more puzzling.

Described as a cheerful and well-liked student, Shravan showed no apparent signs of distress, leaving family, friends, and teachers shocked by his tragic decision. He is survived by his parents and a sister.

As a mark of respect, his school organized a silent prayer to honor his memory.

Mental health matters. If you or someone you know is struggling, please seek help. Call the toll-free helpline at 9152987821. Remember, no problem is too big to be solved.
