Mangaluru Court issues non-bailable warrant against former cop Jayanth Shetty in 14-year-old case
Mangaluru: A court on Monday issued non-bailable warrant against retired police officer Jayanth Shetty in a 14-year-old case for repeatedly skipping appearing in court despite summons.
The case pertains to a private complaint filed by activist Kabeer Ullal in 2008 when the officer was serving as the head of anti-rowdy squad.
Kabeer alleged Jayanth Shetty and other police personnel used to target innocent people from Ullal.
"Since I was fighting a legal battle against the harassment, Shetty arrested me during the 2008 communal riots that took place in Ullal.I was sent to the Bellary jail at the time. After being in judicial custody for one week, I was able to secure bail and during that time I filed a private complaint in the court against Inspector Jayanth Shetty and S.I. Shivaprakash. The case had even reached the High Court. Amid this, the Mangaluru Court dismissed my complaint. However, I was relentless and continued my battle. As a result of this, Shivaprakash had to secure bail, while Jayanth Shetty kept dodging court hearings and remained absent. Now the court issued a non-bailable warrant against Shetty on June 20”, Kabir Ullal said.
Kabeer's lawyer SS Qazi said the court has issued notice to Mangaluru Police Commissioner to arrest Shetty and present him before the court.

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.
