"It was decided that Ambareesh's body not to be taken to Mandya in midnight. But, Kumaraswamy intervened and told that Ambarish was like an elder brother for him and brought his dead body to Mandya," DK Shivakumar said.
"I had told Sumalatha to chose a different constituency. Even, I had assured her a Rajya Sabha seat. But, there is somebody's hand behind Sumalatha's decision of contesting.

Ranchi (PTI): A 60-year-old security guard of a temple in Ranchi was bludgeoned to death with a stone during a robbery attempt, police said on Saturday.
