Jayant T lodges complaint with Lokayukta against recommendation of Thimarodi's externment
Belthangady: Activist Jayant T has filed a complaint with the Karnataka Lokayukta, State Human Rights Commission, Chief Minister, and Home Minister, alleging that false and malicious cases were used to recommend the externment (gadipaaru) of Mahesh Shetty Timarodi.
According to the complaint, the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) of Bantwal allegedly submitted a misleading report to the Assistant Commissioner’s court in Puttur subdivision, citing around 13 cases that had already been closed and several others that were allegedly filed with malicious intent. Jayant has demanded an inquiry and appropriate action against the concerned officials.
The complaint states that during the hearing of the externment case, the DySP violated procedural norms and attempted to influence the Assistant Commissioner’s court to secure an order against Mahesh Shetty. Jayant further claimed that while 26 cases were registered against Mahesh Shetty, 16 of them have already been disposed of. Despite this, the DySP allegedly presented written statements in court without supporting documents, which Jayant described as contemptuous of the judiciary.
The externment case of Mahesh Shetty Timarodi is currently pending before the Karnataka High Court. Meanwhile, Jayant recently posted a video on social media leveling several allegations against the Bantwal DySP, following which Belthangady police registered a suo motu case against him.

Screenwriter Salim Khan on ventilator support and stable, say doctors
Mumbai (PTI): Veteran screenwriter Salim Khan suffered a brain haemorrhage which has been tackled, is on ventilator support as a safeguard and stable, doctors treating him said on Wednesday, a day after he was admitted to the Lilavati Hospital here.
The 90-year-old, one half of the celebrated Salim-Javed duo which scripted films such as "Sholay", "Deewar" and "Don" with Javed Akhtar, is in the ICU and recovery might take some time given his age.
"His blood pressure was high for which we treated him and we had to put him on a ventilator because we wanted to do certain investigations. Now the ventilator was put as a safeguard so that his situation doesn't get worse. So it is not that he is critical," Dr Jalil Parkar told reporters.
"We did the investigations that were required and today we have done a small procedure on him, I will not go into the details. The procedure done is called DSA (digital subtraction angiography). The procedure has been accomplished, he is fine and stable and shifted back to ICU. By tomorrow, we hope to get him off the ventilator. All in all, he is doing quite well," he added.
Asked whether he suffered a brain haemorrhage, the doctor said, "Unko thoda haemorrhage hua tha, which we’ve tackled. No surgery is required.
As concern over Khan's health mounted, his children, including superstar Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan, daughter Alvira, and sons-in-law Atul Agnihotri and Aayush Sharma, have been seen outside the hospital along with other well-wishers. His long-time partner Akhtar was also seen coming out of the hospital.
Khan, a household name in the 70s and 80s, turned 90 on November 24 last year. It was the day Dharmendra, the star of many of his films, including "Sholay", "Seeta aur Geeta" and "Yaadon Ki Baraat", passed away.
Hailing from an affluent family in Indore, Khan arrived in Mumbai in his 20s with dreams of stardom. He was good looking and confident he would make a mark in the industry as an actor. But that did not happen. And then, after struggling for close to a decade and getting confined to small roles in films, he changed lanes.
He worked as an assistant to Abrar Alvi and soon met Akhtar to form one of Hindi cinema's most formidable writing partnerships. They worked together on two dozen movies with most of them achieving blockbuster status.
Other than "Sholay", "Deewar" and "Don", Khan and Akhtar also penned "Trishul", "Zanjeer", "Seeta Aur Geeta", "Haathi Mere Saathi", "Yaadon Ki Baarat" and "Mr India".
