Bengaluru, Sept 25: In a letter to the State Human Rights Commission, a woman has allegedly claimed that she is being stalked by Rahul Singh, CEO of a startup company here with whom she broke up after being repeatedly abused physically and verbally.

"We met and started liking each other. I and Rahul Singh used to meet every day. After a few months, he was physically and verbally abusive towards me. He used to slap me and kick me," she stated in her letter.

"He kept on calling me, texting every day to convince me to get back with him. I made it very clear to him that I would not like to continue this relationship and he must not contact me. He was harassing me on mails, WhatsApp, Instagram and every social media platform and contacting me from different numbers. I was not in talking terms with him since August 2019 and had made it clear to him not to contact me," she added.

She had filed an FIR in HSR Layout Police Station after which the family members of the accused are threatening to kill her if she does not take the complaint back.

"I saw Rahul Singh outside my house, he had followed me from my office and he made swift strides towards me with a concealed weapon, which looked like a dagger. I ran to the confines of my society to save my life. Every single day, I venture out to work, I am stressed with the fact that I might be murdered en route," she said in the letter.

No relief for Siddaramaiah in MUDA case as HC junks plea against Governor's sanction

September 24,2024

The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday dismissed the petition filed by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah against Governor Thawarchand Gehlot's decision to sanction the complaint and investigation against him in the alleged Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam case.

Justice M Nagaprasanna said the facts narrated in the petition would undoubtedly require an investigation.

The court has also said that the Governor's order approving sanction to investigate against Siddaramaiah under section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act does not suffer from application of mind, instead has abundance of application of mind.

Meanwhile, the court rejected the request made by senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi to stay the order of the court. The court has vacated the interim order passed on August 19. In the interim order the trial court was directed not to take any precipitative action against Siddaramaiah. On August 17, Governor had approved sanction under section 17 A of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 218 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita ( BNSS), citing three applications.

The court said the private complainants were justified in registering the complaint and seeking approval from the governor.

Insofar as private complainants seeking sanction under section 17A, the court said the provision nowhere requires only a police officer to seek sanction from a competent authority. The court further said it is in fact the duty of the private complainants to seek such approval.

Earlier, The High Court had completed its hearing in the case on September 12, and reserved its orders. It had also directed a special court in Bengaluru to defer further proceedings and not to take any precipitative action against the Chief Minister.

The case pertains to allegations that compensatory sites were allotted to Siddaramaiah's wife B M Parvathi in an upmarket area in Mysuru that had higher property value as compared to the location of her land that had been "acquired" by MUDA.
