Mangaluru: Advocate Nithin Kuttar has submitted a formal complaint to the City Police Commissioner alleging that an Inspector at the Women’s Police Station misbehaved with him while he was handling a case.
According to the complaint, the incident took place on November 15 when the advocate visited the station on behalf of a client involved in a family dispute. He has alleged that Inspector Balakrishna spoke harshly to the client, demanded that the child’s gold ornaments be produced at the station immediately, and threatened to register a case and send the client to jail if they failed to do so.
The advocate has also stated that the Inspector insulted him, addressed him disrespectfully, and warned him not to “bring any activism here”, allegedly saying he would “thrash him” if he did. Even when the advocate said he would approach the Commissioner, the Inspector reportedly continued in the same manner.
The complaint was submitted in the presence of an All India Lawyers’ Union delegation. Senior advocate Ramachandra Babbukatte and members Sunanda Konchadi, Manoj Vamanjoor, Charan Shetty and Haseenar Gurupur were present.

Allahabad HC asks CBI, ED to inquire disproportionate assets allegation against Rahul Gandhi
Lucknow (PTI): The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate to conduct an inquiry into the allegations of amassing of disproportionate assets by Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.
The court has asked the agencies to submit the progress of the inquiry on July 20.
A division bench of Justices Rajesh Singh Chauhan and Zafeer Ahmad passed the order while hearing a criminal writ petition moved by a Karnataka BJP worker, S Vignesh Shishir.
The petitioner has alleged accumulation of disproportionate assets by Gandhi and sought direction of an inquiry into the matter.
The bench conducted an in-chamber hearing in the case on May 12.
In its order published on the high court's website on Thursday, the bench observed, "It is expected that if the complaint of the petitioner has been received, the allegations may be verified as per law. It is needless to say that the CBI or ED may take appropriate steps permissible under the law."
Besides the CBI and ED, the bench has also directed the Central government's Department of Personnel and Training, the Department of Revenue, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and the Director of Serious Fraud Investigation Office to file their responses on the allegations levelled by the petition within eight weeks.
According to the order, the CBI and the ED have informed the bench that they have received the petitioner's complaint and would file a response before the court.
To a query on whether the petition was maintainable, the bench said that this submission would be tested after receiving the counter-affidavits of the respective parties and the rejoinder affidavits thereof.
The court also ordered its senior registrar to keep the paper-book and the loose documents provided by the petitioner in a sealed cover to be opened on the next hearing.
