Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa’s close aide Renukacharya on Wednesday expressed his discontent over inclusion of Laxman Savadi in the newly former cabinet of the state while batting for MLA Umesh Katti’s inclusion who was left out of the cabinet.

“Laxman lost the 2018 assembly elections and despite that he was included in the cabinet. Senior leader Umesh Katti could’ve been given a place in the cabinet instead” he said while threatening to resign if his self-respect was hurt by the party.

Rubbishing the claims of secret meeting between the MLAs who were not included in cabite, Renukacharya said that no such meeting took place nor any such meeting is planned or scheduled.

“I will continue in politics till BS Yediyurappa in there. And I will not switch parties even if I am not given the ministry” he said while he was asked if he would meet JD(S) state president and former CM Kumaraswamy in this regard.

Shillong (PTI): A court in Meghalaya on Tuesday granted bail to Indore resident Sonam Raghuvanshi, who allegedly got her husband killed during their honeymoon in the northeastern state in 2025.

Sonam’s husband, Raja Raghuvanshi, went missing on May 23 last year during the couple’s honeymoon, and his mutilated body was found on June 2 from a deep gorge near a waterfall in Sohra area of East Khasi Hills district. Sonam and several others, including her alleged boyfriend, were arrested in the case.

"The accused has been granted bail by the court. However, necessary legal procedures are being followed and the police will continue to pursue the matter as per law," SP Vivek Syiem told PTI.

According to police, Indore-based transport businessman Raja Raghuvanshi married Sonam on May 11, 2025, in Indore, and the couple left for their honeymoon in Meghalaya on May 20.

The autopsy report of Raja Raghuvanshi indicated that he was hit twice with a sharp object on his head.

Sonam surrendered on June 8 before the police in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur district.

In September last year, the Meghalaya Police submitted a 790-page charge sheet, naming eight people, including his wife Sonam and her alleged boyfriend, as the accused.
