January 13, 2017

Belagavi, Jan 13: A video clip has surfaced in which the Kudachi MLA P Rajeev of BSR Congress is seen warning the police personnel that the police station would be set on fire if they harass innocent people, demand money from them or attempt to fix them in false cases.

Incidentally, Rajeev is a former police officer who had quit the service to join politics.

In the 1.18-minute video clip, Rajeev is found warning the personnel from Raibag Circle Inspector of Police office who had reportedly threatened Basappa Bhajantri of Nidagundi village in Raibag taluk that he would be fixed in a case of suicide of a woman.

The warning was issued probably on Tuesday when the MLA was campaigning for the elections to the Agriculture Produce Marketing Committees.

In the video, Rajeev tells the police personnel that on the day the woman committed suicide, Bhajantri had accompanied him for the poll campaigning.

Fled fearing false case

Police personnel had reportedly demanded Rs 1 lakh from Bhajantri and later settled for Rs 45,000 to not fix him in the case.

Fearing that the police will file a false case against him, Bhajantri had fled the village for a few days.

When contacted, Rajeev said?on Thursday that he had made the statement in a of fit rage as he was angered by the acts of the policemen. Police stations should protect innocent people and not become centres of political activities and deals, he added.

Earlier this week, a video of Rajeev abusing a surveyor in filthy language had gone viral on social media.

In the video, the MLA was found taking Siddappa Sane to task over the delay in completing the survey of government lands during a visit to the office of the Raibag tahsildar. Government lands are said to have been encroached upon in the Kudachi Assembly constituency.

Rajeev had asked officials to survey the lands and demarcate their boundaries to reclaim the lands.

“You are being paid salaries to protect government lands. If you cannot discharge your responsibilities, seek transfers,” Rajeev is heard telling the surveyor in the video.

Waqf land row | No farmer will be evicted; notices will be withdrawn: Karnataka CM

October 29,2024

Bengaluru: Following allegations by a section of farmers from Vijayapura district that their lands were marked as Waqf properties, Karnataka Chief Minister Sidddaramaiah on Tuesday said none of them will be evicted, and notices issued to them will be withdrawn.

"No farmer will be evicted from their land. Yesterday Revenue Minister (Krishna Byre Gowda), M B Patil (Industries and Vijayapura district in-charge Minister) and Waqf Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan have jointly said that no farmer from Vijayapura will be evicted from their land," Siddaramaiah said.

Speaking to reporters here, he said in case notices have been issued to farmers, they will be withdrawn.

Responding to a question that similar notices have been issued to farmers in Yadgir and Dharwad districts too, the CM said: "I will ask the Revenue Minister to look into it, nowhere farmers will be evicted."

Seeking to clarify "confusion" over 1,200 acres in Honavada of Tikota taluk being marked as Waqf property, M B Patil had recently said it was due to an “error” in the gazette notification.

He also had said only 11 acres out of the 1,200 acres are Waqf properties, and a task force headed by the Deputy Commissioner will be formed to resolve the issues.
