Bengaluru, September 27: Mahadevapura MLA Aravind Limbavali said that they have taken oath from international cricketer Javagal Srinath that they would not allow anybody to convert Bengaluru into Punjab where majority of the youth were addicted to drugs.
Speaking at a mega campaign on drug addiction organized by the Bengaluru City Police at Phoenix City Market at Mahadevapura in the city on Thursday, he said that Bengaluru police, especially the Commissioner and his officers have taken up a drive against drug addiction in the city.
“We should not come under the influence of drugs mafia. In our constituency also, many foreigners are involved in drugs peddling. If people identify such anti-social elements and informed the police, definitely they would take action. We should also join hands with the police by conducting campaigns against drug mafia and addiction”, Limbavali said.
MP PC Mohan said that nowadays, youth are addicted to drugs. At this time, the police department has taken a wise decision to conduct campaign to create awareness among youth. Every individual in the society should help others come out of drug addiction, he appealed.
City Police Commissioner T Sunil Kumar said that “I would like to get a small assurance from you people that you will become good citizens in the country. Even in case of heavy traffic congestion, the youth should not use foot-paths to ride motorbikes. Respect the red light in the signal just to protect your life. Every parent would want his or her children should be good. It is the responsibility of every individual to ensure the safety of others around them”, he said.
As part of the campaign, body building competition, orchestra, Kalaripayattu martial art and screening of a documentary on drug addiction prepared by the Bengaluru police were held. Additional Police Commissioner Alok Kumar, White Field Zone DCP Abdul Ahad, BBMP members and other officers were present.
International cricketer Javagal Srinath administered the oath to thousands of volunteers and general public that they would keep themselves away from bad habits and try to eradicate them from the society and thus involve in nation building activity.

Jharkhand horror: Man kills live-in partner, chops body into 40 pieces
Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.
The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.
"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.
“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.
Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.
"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.
The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.
Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.
"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.
The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.
Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
