Handover documents of BSY's corruption to Justice Nagamohan Das committee: Siddaramaiah tells Yatnal
Bengaluru: Hours after BJP MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal alleged former Karnataka CM Yediyurappa of misusing 40,000 crore rupees in the pandemic period during his tenure, CM Siddaramaiah taking to Twitter on Tuesday urged Yatnal to hand over documents pertaining to the allegation to Justice Nagamohan Das Committee, which was formed to probe 40% bribery allegations against the previous BJP government.
Siddaramaiah further asserted on his post that Yatnal’s allegations have corroborated their allegations of the previous BJP government being a 40% commission government.

“The group of BJP ministers who had come out howling at our accusation and held a press conference in Vidhana Soudha, where are they hiding now?” questioned Siddaramaiah.
“Yatnal should not make hit and run accusations. If he is committed to eradicating corruption, he should logically conclude his accusation. For this, he needs to submit all the information he has about the Corona corruption to the inquiry commission led by retired judge Nagamohan Das,” he wrote in his tweet.
He further added that BJP MLA Yatnal has been constantly accusing Yediyurappa, his son BY Vijayendra and some former cabinet ministers of corruption. He said that it is not surprising to see the state BJP leader’s being silent on the allegations.
“It's mysterious that the Prime Minister of the country, who often calls himself the "Chowkidar" and declares 'Na Khaunga, Na Khane Dunga', is silent about such corruption accusations against his own party leader. This silence raises questions whether the central leaders are also involved in the corruption of the state BJP government,” he added.

UP man gets life term for electrocuting mentally challenged wife to death in Bareilly
Bareilly (UP) (PTI): A local court here has sentenced a man to life imprisonment for murdering his mentally challenged wife by repeatedly electrocuting her while she was tied to a cot, lawyers said on Thursday.
Additional district government counsel Harendra Singh Rathore said Additional Sessions Judge Avinash Kumar Singh on Wednesday convicted Vinod Kumar (45) for killing his wife, Satyavati, in Chaina village of Bareilly district and imposed a fine of Rs 15,000 on him.
According to the prosecution, he was allegedly frustrated with his wife Satyavati's mental illness and often assaulted her.
Rathore said the prosecution examined nine witnesses to establish the charges against him.
As per court records, on the night of May 1-2, 2022, when Satyavati was asleep, Vinod tied her hands and legs to a cot using ropes and then connected an aluminium cable to an electric board to repeatedly administer electric shocks to her.
"She writhed in pain, but the accused continued to electrocute her until she died," the prosecution said.
The court observed that the murder was carried out in an inhuman manner.
After committing the crime, the accused threw the rope and cable on the roof and left for work at a brick kiln around 2 am to create a false alibi.
He later tried to mislead the police and the victim's family by claiming that Satyavati, whose mental condition was unstable, had accidentally died by suicide after grabbing a live electric wire.
However, the victim's brother, Sanjeev, a resident of Shahjahanpur district, suspected foul play and lodged an FIR under sections 498A (husband subjecting wife to cruelty) and 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code at Nawabganj police station.
During the trial, the prosecution relied on the post-mortem report prepared by Dr Faraz Anwar, who stated that multiple electrocution marks found on different parts of the victim's body could not have been self-inflicted.
The police also recovered the rope and electric wire used in the crime on the accused's identification, officials said.
