Case filed against Mangaluru BJP MLA Dr. Bharath Shetty for derogatory remarks on Rahul Gandhi
Mangaluru: Kavoor Police have registered a case against BJP MLA Dr. Y Bharath Shetty following a complaint by Congress activist Anil Kumar from Urundadigudda, Panjimogaru. The complaint accuses Dr. Shetty of making derogatory remarks about Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LOP) Rahul Gandhi and delivering a provocative speech.
The incident occurred on Monday during a protest meeting organized by the BJP at Kavoor Junction. During the address, Dr. Shetty allegedly stated that Rahul Gandhi should not only be expelled from Parliament but also physically slapped as punishment for his "anti-Hindu statements," according to the complaint lodged by Anil Kumar.

The complaint also mentions that Mangaluru South MLA Vedvyas Kamath and Dakshina Kannada MP Brijesh Chowta were present at the protest and made similarly provocative statements in response to recent comments made by the LOP in Parliament.
Following these events, Anil Kumar filed a complaint with Kavoor Police, prompting them to register a case and commence an investigation. Senior Congress leaders, including former minister B Ramanath Rai, Abhayachandra Jain, and MLC Ivan D’Souza, have called on the police to file a suo motu case against Dr. Shetty for his remarks against Rahul Gandhi.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities examine the statements made during the protest and determine any potential legal repercussions.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
