Centre indulged in vindictive politics: DKS
Bengaluru, May 31: Former minister and MLA DK Shivakumar and his brother MP DK Suresh alleged that the centre has indulged in vindictive politics by using the CBI, IT and ED.
Speaking in a joint press conference at their house at Sadashiva Nagar in the city on Thursday, they said that the centre has been targeting them. The centre has been misusing the CBI, IT and ED to target them. By doing this, both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP national president Amit Shah have been threatening the democracy. Because of their role in the formation of JDS-Congress coalition government, they have been targeting them, they alleged.
“If they think that they could suppress our family from such threats, it is wrong. We will not collapse. We are ready for everything. We have not done anything wrong. We have not done politics beyond legal frameworks. If you think of suppressing our voice just by booking false cases, it is your illusion. Anything could happen between birth and death. You can book false cases against us. We are ready for anything. But we will respect the judiciary”, they said.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
