Last minute ditch: Cong candidates get IT shock
Bengaluru, May 11: As a last minute ditch to the Congress, IT sleuths have conducted raids on the houses and offices of Congress candidates including Bidar south constituency candidate Ashok Kheni, Karwar constituency candidate Sathish Shail, Dharwad Constituency candidate Vinay Kulkarni and others on Friday.
On tip-off, the IT sleuths have conducted raids in Bidar, Karwar, Dharwad and other places on the houses of the candidates and their relatives on Friday morning and verified the documents, it is said.
The IT officials verified the documents at the house of Ashok Kheni at Rampura in Bidar. But they have returned without finding any documents related to property and money.
The IT officials also raided the houses of Sathish Shail and Vinay Kulkarni houses and offices at Karwar and Dharwad and verifying the documents. The IT raids on the houses of candidates and their relatives have been continued in the state for the last one week and it is said that the raids were being conducted on clear information that money is being distributed in the election. This has caused allegations and counter allegations between political parties.
“BJP leaders have been trying to diminish the self confidence of Congress leaders through IT raids. But, it was Congress ancestors who fought against British to get freedom. So, the BJP cannot diminish our confidence through such acts. It is sure that Congress will come to power again”, KPCC working president SR Patil.

Main accused in Delhi Police constable murder shot dead in Sangam Vihar
New Delhi (PTI): A day after the fatal stabbing of a Delhi Police constable, the main accused in the case was shot dead in an encounter with the personnel of the force in south Delhi's Sangam Vihar area, officials said on Sunday.
Constable Kiran Pal was stabbed to death by three people on Saturday while on night patrolling duty in southeast Delhi's Govindpuri area. Two accused -- Deepak Max and Krish Gupta -- were arrested later in that day.
The third accused, Raghav -- who stabbed Pal with a knife -- was hiding in Sangam Vihar, a senior police officer of Special Cell said.
Acting on specific information, teams of NDR of Special Cell and Narcotics Cell of South East District, went to the area connecting Sangam Vihar and Surajkund Road late on Saturday night, the officer said.
The accused was identified and asked to surrender. He, however, opened fire at the police personnel who retaliated in self-defence and injured the accused.
"He was immediately taken to the ESIC Hospital, Okhla, where he died," the officer said.
A pistol with two cartridges have been seized, the police officer said, adding no police official was injured in the encounter.
Constable Kiran Pal, posted at Govindpuri Police Station, was on night patrolling duty when he stopped three people riding a scooty in the early hours of Saturday.
The accused threw stones at the constable to evade arrest but he managed to waylay them by putting his bike in front of their vehicle, the officer said.
The constable also took away the keys of the scooty and started questioning the trio during which the accused stabbed him, the officer added.
