Belagavi: Cart topples into village stream in Athani
two boys, bullock drown in water, one boy seriously injured
Athani: In an incident reported from Sambargi village here, two brothers, aged seven and nine years, died of drowning and another boy was grievously injured while crossing a stream in a bullock cart.
The deceased boys are Deepak Sanjay Kamble (9) and his younger brother Ganesh Sanjay Kamble (7) of Naganura PA village. The injured boy is identified as Vedanth Sanjay Kamble, a brother of the deceased duo. He is learned to be undergoing treatment at a hospital in Athani.
The accident reportedly occurred when the children and their father Sanjay Kamble were traveling in a bullock cart from Sambargi to Naganur PA. While crossing the village stream, which had filled up due to rain, the cart passed on a pit which had been cleared of sand recently. The bullock is learned to have lost balance, as a result of which, the cart and the passengers fell into stream.
Kamble managed to rescue Vedanth, who was found to have sustained severe injuries, but Ganesh and Deepak drowned in the waters. The bullock, which got caught in the pit, is also reported to have drowned.
The bodies of the children were retrieved from the waters with the help of the locals.

'The Ba**ds of Bollywood’ mirrors my life, damages my reputation: Sameer Wankhede tells Delhi HC
New Delhi: IRS officer Sameer Wankhede has submitted his reply to the Delhi High Court in the defamation case he filed against Red Chillies Entertainment, the production company owned by actor Shah Rukh Khan. The case pertains to the recently released series The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, which Wankhede claims has defamed him.
In his statement to the court, Wankhede asserted that the show’s portrayal of a police officer is clearly based on him and has caused serious harm to his public image. He cited four key reasons supporting his claim.
First, he said the character in question bears physical similarities to him, including facial and body features. Second, he noted that the character’s working style and mannerisms closely resemble his own.
Third, Wankhede highlighted that the officer in the show is depicted making a high-profile arrest involving a major film personality, which he said directly mirrors his own involvement in the Aryan Khan drug case.
Fourth, he pointed out that the character frequently uses the phrase “Satyameva Jayate,” a motto he himself had used during media interactions in the course of that investigation. He argued that using the national motto in such a context cannot be dismissed as creative expression or humour.
Wankhede also referred to an interview in which Aryan Khan allegedly admitted that the show was “inspired by some real events.” This, he said, contradicts Red Chillies Entertainment’s claim that The Ba**ds of Bollywood* is purely fictional.
He further alleged that the tone and intent of the series indicate personal and institutional vendetta, aimed at discrediting and defaming him rather than engaging in artistic storytelling.
Wankhede informed the court that the fallout from the show has affected his family, with his wife and sister receiving abusive and vulgar messages online.
Rejecting Red Chillies’ argument that he is a “thin-skinned” officer, Wankhede said that a public servant cannot be expected to tolerate false and damaging portrayals simply because of his position. He emphasized that his legal action seeks to protect the constitutional rights and dignity of both himself and his family.
