Bengaluru: Adugodi Police officers have arrested Kannada film producer Prakash, who has been accused of duping a man after promising him a job in the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF).

The producer, who has funded a Kannada movie with Pramod Shetty in the lead, had allegedly promised to get Charan, a native of Chikkaballapur district, a job as an officer in the technical division of KMF if paid Rs 20 lakh. He had also received an advance of Rs 10 lakh from Charan.

The written examinations for various posts in KMF were conducted in December. Prakash, duplicating the official standard of the KMF director, handed the appointment order to Charan.

Following a complaint by the applicant, the city police recently arrested the film producer and are investigating the matter further.

New Delhi: Kanimozhi Karunanidhi has written to the Lok Sabha Speaker seeking a separate seating arrangement for Members of Parliament belonging to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) following the end of the party’s alliance with the Indian National Congress.

In a letter dated May 7 addressed to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Kanimozhi said the changed political situation made it inappropriate for DMK MPs to continue sitting alongside Congress members in the House.

She requested the Speaker to make “suitable changes” in the seating arrangement of the DMK Parliamentary Party and allot separate seating for its MPs.

“In view of the changed political circumstances and as our alliance with the Indian National Congress has come to an end, it may not be appropriate for our Members to continue occupying the present seating arrangement alongside them in the House,” the letter stated.

Kanimozhi further said separate seating would help DMK members effectively discharge their responsibilities in the Lok Sabha.
