Udupi: Factory worker made to stand outside for an hour after being accused of causing loss
Udupi: In an inhuman incident reported from Wandaar in Brahmavar taluk, a factory worker was allegedly made to stand outside the gate for an hour by the owner, who accused him of causing damage to the factory.
Praveen (29), a resident of Shiroor village, was employed as an electrician at the Krishna Prasad Cashew Factory in Wandaar. On the night of June 16, he completed his shift and returned home. Around 12:30 AM, the factory supervisor, Suresh, called him and informed him that the factory had lost one-phase electricity.
The following morning (June 17), Suresh contacted Praveen again, saying that the power issue still had not been resolved. Concerned, Praveen called the lineman to inquire and then proceeded to the factory. However, upon arrival, the factory’s HR officer, Chandrashekar, stopped him at the gate, saying that owner Sampath Shetty had instructed not to let him enter.
Praveen’s bike and mobile phone were also confiscated, and he was made to wait near the gate. It is alleged that when Sampath Shetty arrived, he verbally abused Praveen and accused him of causing losses in diesel sales. He then forced Praveen to stand alone at the gate for an hour.
Praveen was later taken to the Shankaranarayana Primary Health Center by his uncle, where he received treatment.
A case has been registered at the Shankaranarayana Police Station in connection with the incident.

PM Modi is controlled by Donald Trump, wants to do the same in TN: Rahul Gandhi
Ranipet (Tamil Nadu) (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was being "controlled" by US President Donald Trump and that the PM wanted the AIADMK to capture power so that he could control Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.
Also, he claimed that the prime minister "handed out our energy security and gave away our data, besides selling our farmers and small and medium industries."
"You saw yesterday (in Parliament) the face of Prime Minister Narendra Modi completely lacking confidence," Rahul said on the delimitation bill.
"He (PM) could not even face the opposition. He was sitting sideways. And the reason is, he is controlled by the United States. He signed the India-US deal that sold our country out," Rahul said while addressing an election rally here.
He further said, "Today, if Donald Trump tells Modi to jump, Modi jumps. If Donald Trump tells Modi to lie down, Modi lies down. Why? Because Donald Trump controls Modi fully. How does he control him? He controls through the Epstein files. He controls him because he knows Modi's financial systems and understands Modi's link with Adani," the Congress leader alleged.
Just as he was being controlled by Trump, Modi wanted to do the same to the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. "That is why he wants to put AIADMK in power in TN," Rahul said.
The Union government had rejected references to PM Modi in the latest Jeffrey Epstein case files, describing it as “little more than trashy ruminations by a convicted criminal that deserves to be dismissed with the utmost contempt”.
