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.

Lahore (PTI): Pakistan's Punjab Police on Friday registered a case against unidentified gunmen for opening fire on Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) co-founder Amir Hamza, who suffered bullet injuries in the attack in Lahore.
On Thursday, two unidentified gunmen riding on a bike opened fire on the vehicle of the private TV channel 24NewsHD TV, owned by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, on Peco Road in Lahore near the TV channel's office.
In the attack, Hamza suffered bullet injuries.
"The FIR has been registered against unidentified gunmen, but it is sealed forthwith," a senior police officer told PTI.
He said the intelligence agencies have taken over this case from the police, and they are currently investigating the matter.
The channel's religious programme host Justice (retd.) Nazir Ahmed Ghazi and Hamza were in the vehicle when it was attacked. Hamza was shifted to a hospital for treatment.
Punjab police on Friday said that "upon receiving information about the incident, the SSP Operations immediately reached the scene and a high alert was imposed in the area. SSP Operations Tauqeer Naeem also met the affected individuals. Thankfully, all present in the vehicle remained safe during the firing."
It further said senior police officers of the Township and Chung, along with a heavy police contingent, were present at the scene.
"Police collected evidence from the site and initiated an investigation. Efforts to arrest the suspects are underway using CCTV footage and geo-fencing techniques. Search and sweep operations are being conducted at various locations, with scrutiny of suspicious individuals ongoing," police said.
It added that those involved in the incident will be traced and arrested soon.
The police sources said that Hamza has been shifted to his residence in Jauhar Town, Lahore, where police and agency personnel met him.
The leadership of the Pakistan Markazi Muslim League (PMML), a political front of Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed's banned Jamat-ud-Dawah (JuD), including Hafiz Saeed's son Hafiz Talha Saeed, also called on him.
TV host retired Justice Ghazi, who remained unhurt in the attack, remained a legal counsel for Hafiz Saeed, they said.
The PMML has strongly condemned the attack on Hamza and demanded that those involved in the incident be arrested immediately.
Hamza is regarded as LeT's second most important leader after its chief Hafiz Saeed, who has been in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail since 2019 after getting convicted for several years in terror financing cases.
Hamza has been designated as a terrorist by the US. In the past, he served as the head of LeT's "special campaigns" department.
In 2018, Hamza formed a fundraising group for the LeT following a ban on the JuD and Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation by the Pakistani government.
