Fake bomb threat to schools: State government should not take things lightly asserts HD Kumaraswamy
Bengaluru: The government should not under any circumstances consider the incident of fake bomb threats to school lightly asserted former Chief Minister and JD(S) Karnataka President H.D. Kumaraswamy on Friday.
Kumaraswamy further urged the government to provide safety and security arrangements assuring confidence in the parents to send their children to schools.
Sharing an ‘X’ post regarding the incident, he wrote, “It is alarming to hear that anonymous individuals have sent bomb threats to schools. The miscreants would have carried such an act with the malicious intent of creating fear and endangering peace and order of the parents and children.”
The JD(S) leader further called on the Congress government to not take the incident lightly for any reason, and to ensure that parents and kids have confidence in going to schools. “Do a detailed investigation into the matter and find out the one behind the incident. Find out what is the source and immobilize it. The state government should not hesitate to get help from the central government concerning this incident.”
ಶಾಲೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಅನಾಮಧೇಯ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಗಳು ಬಾಂಬ್ ಬೆದರಿಕೆ ಒಡ್ಡಿರುವುದು ಕಳವಳಕಾರಿ. ಮಕ್ಕಳು, ಪೋಷಕರು ತೀವ್ರವಾಗಿ ಕಳವಳಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದು, ಅವರಲ್ಲಿ ಭೀತಿ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿ, ಶಾಂತಿ ಸುವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಗೆ ಧಕ್ಕೆ ಉಂಟು ಮಾಡುವ ದುರುದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದಲೇ ದುಷ್ಟಶಕ್ತಿಗಳು ಇಂತಹ ಹುನ್ನಾರ ನಡೆಸಿರಬಹುದು.

Kerala: Court imposes 41-year jail term on man for sexual assault of minor
Kozhikode (Kerala) (PTI): A Kerala court on Wednesday sentenced a man to 41 years in prison for sexually assaulting a minor boy near Valayam in 2021.
Nadapuram Fast Track Special Court judge K Naushad Ali sentenced 64-year-old Panchara Musa, also known as Ganapathiyat Musa, under various provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Indian Penal Code (IPC), according to special public prosecutor Manoj Aroor.
As the sentences are to run concurrently, the convict will have to serve the highest term of 20 years’ imprisonment, SPP Aroor said. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 52,000 on Musa.
The incident took place in August 2021 when the accused allegedly took the 14-year-old boy to a bus stop in Valayam town and sexually assaulted him, the prosecutor said. The accused also gave Rs 50 to the boy, he added.
Following the incident, the boy and his father lodged a complaint at the Valayam police station.

The prosecution examined 16 witnesses and submitted 16 documents to substantiate its case against the accused, he added.
