Belagavi: The Khade Bazar Police have registered a case against BJP SC Morcha leader Prithvi Singh and his son, Jasveer Singh, following a complaint from a woman who accused them of blackmail, sexual harassment, and torture.

The complainant had reportedly attempted suicide by consuming poison a few days ago, citing harassment for dowry by her husband and father-in-law. However, after receiving treatment at a hospital, she altered her statement, now accusing Prithvi Singh of being behind the police complaint against her husband and father-in-law, according to the Times of India.

The woman also informed the police that she had been kept under house arrest, blackmailed, and tortured by the BJP leader and his son, who allegedly fabricated accusations against her family members. Additionally, she claimed that both men poisoned her.

The Khade Bazar Police, who have registered a case against the father-son duo, have stated that the investigation is ongoing.

BENGALURU: Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara on Monday alleged Electronic Voting Machine manipulations led to the defeat of Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance in just concluded assembly polls in Maharashtra.

While speaking to reporters here on Monday, he said the BJP does selective manipulations to convince people that there were no wrongdoings. He also wanted to go back to the paper ballots system.

The ruling BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra won a landslide victory in the assembly elections, shattering the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi's dream to wrest power. The BJP won the highest ever 132 seats for the party, while the Shiv Sena led by Shinde bagged 57 seats and NCP won 41 seats to take the Mahayuti total to 230 seats. Congress as part of MVA won just 16 seats.

"We analysed the Maharashtra poll outcome deeply. We felt that in many places EVMs were manipulated," Parameshwara said. He also said an obvious question would be why not it happened in Jharkhand and elsewhere. The manipulations are done selectively so that no one can question it, he blamed.

According to him, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is a leading partner. Had the Congress been the leading partner, things would have changed. He backed the ballot papers saying that the same was discussed in Maharashtra Congress as well.
