Govt withdraws police security given to resort
DK Shivakumar ridicules Yeddyurappa’s decision
Bengaluru, May 17: Soon after Yeddyurappa sworn in as the Chief Minister of the state, he has withdrawn the police security provided to Eagleton Resort near Bidadi in Ramanagar where MLAs were camping.
However, Congress leader DK Shivakumar ridiculed that if the MLAs did not have the security in this government, then what is the situation of the common people.
Speaking to reporters at a private hotel in the city on Thursday, Shivakumar said that “We do not require police security to protect our MLAs. People and our party workers are there to protect us. We will not go out of the state and we will be here”, he said.
Soon after Yeddyurappa took oath, he has nominated one MLA through the Governor. He has transferred the police officers. These incidents are some instances about the way in which the BJP government is beginning its innings, which is condemnable, he said.
JDS president HD Kumaraswamy said that as soon as taking oath, Yeddyurappa has transferred four IPS officers. How will they transfer the officers without proving their majority? The developments happening in the BJP office are ridiculous. “We will protect our 117 MLAs. All 38 JDS MLAs are with me. Nobody can divide us. I have taken the responsibility of all MLAs. Congress leaders have taken the responsibility of their MLAs”, he said.

Gujarat man held for impersonating govt official, duping people with forged letters
Ahmedabad (PTI): The Ahmedabad police have arrested a 29-year-old man who allegedly posed as a senior revenue official and used fake letters claiming to be from various government departments to cheat people, an official said on Sunday.
Mehul Shah, an engineer who manages two schools at Vankaner in Gujarat’s Morbi district, is accused of making lakhs of rupees with bogus documents and false claims, said inspector (crime branch) JK Makwana.
Shah had forged an appointment letter from the Ahmedabad district education officer (DEO) to offer a computer operator’s job in a government office to a complainant’s son. He also introduced himself as a trustee of a school and did not pay a man Rs 7 lakh due to him over the painting of a school building, the official said.
“Despite holding no official position in the state or central government, he used fake work permits and NOCs to cheat people of lakhs of rupees,” the police official said.
One complainant alleged that Shah identified himself as a top revenue department official and produced a fake letter from the chairman of the “department of science and research development” to make him install a siren and curtain in a hired vehicle but did not pay for the job, he said.
Bogus letters claiming to be from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ahmedabad DEO were used by the accused to cheat the complainants, the police official said.
Police have recovered from his possession fake identity cards and letters with headings like “bharat gaurav ratna shri samman council”, “chairman of department of science and research development”, “health and family welfare department”, and “road and building department”.
“The FIR is based on complaints by three victims. We appeal to the people to come forward and submit their complaints if they have been cheated by Shah in any way,” Makwana said.
