Bajpe: HC grants bail to Hindu Jagarana Vedike leader in police insult case
Bajpe: The High Court has granted bail to Hindu Jagarana Vedike leader Samit Raj Dharegudde in a case related to insulting a police officer.
Samit Raj had posted on Facebook, alleging that Abdul Rashid, a staff member of Bajpe police station, was involved in the murder of rowdy sheeter Suhas Shetty. Following this, Bajpe police registered a case against him for posting defamatory content and issued a notice for him to appear in court.
However, Samit Raj did not appear as instructed. Later, when police went to his house to arrest him, they were shown a High Court bail order, after which they returned without arresting him.

JK: Fire breaks out in commercial building near Lal Chowk, 19 gas cylinders recovered
Srinagar (PTI): A fire broke out in a five-storey commercial building near the Lal Chowk city centre here on Saturday, but was doused before it could spread in the congested business hub, officials said.
They said firefighters recovered 19 gas cylinders during the operation and there were no casualties in the incident.
Assistant Director, Fire and Emergency Services, Aqib Mir, said, "The fire originated from the attic portion of the building, which houses the kitchen of a restaurant. The cause of the fire is being ascertained."
"The attic was severely damaged. There were no casualties," he said.
The firefighters managed to contain the damage by swiftly dousing the blaze using a hydraulic platform, Mir said.
During the firefighting operation, 19 gas cylinders were recovered from the spot, he said.
"We have informed the concerned police station," he added.
Mir appealed to people not to store combustible substances at home or commercial places.
