Mysuru Central Prison warder suspended over 'abusive' video against CM Siddaramaiah
Mysuru (Karnataka), May 6 (PTI): A warder at Mysuru Central Prison was suspended after he allegedly recorded a video abusing Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and circulated it on social media, jail officials said on Tuesday.
The warder, H N Madhu Kumar (45), an ex-Army man, has been serving in the prison department for the past four years, they said.
According to officials, in a video recorded at his residence, which has now gone viral on social media, Kumar targeted the chief minister and condemned his angry gesture towards a police officer on stage during a programme in Belagavi on April 28.
Citing a preliminary inquiry, Superintendent of Mysuru Central Prison B S Ramesh told PTI that the warder was suspended from duty on Monday evening for misconduct as soon as the matter came to light.
In the video, recorded on April 28, Kumar criticised the chief minister on several issues, highlighted the MUDA land allotment scam allegedly involving Siddaramaiah's wife, and claimed that law and order had collapsed in the CM’s home district, Mysuru.

Techie-turned-Panipuri seller held in dowry death case in Bengaluru
Bengaluru (PTI): A man who quit his software job to sell panipuri was arrested for allegedly driving his 27-year-old wife to suicide at their residence in Suddaguntepalya, police said.
According to police, the woman, identified as Shilpa Panchangamath, was found dead on Tuesday night. Her mother, Sharada, lodged a complaint alleging harassment for dowry.
Shilpa married Praveen, son of late Shambulingaiah of Vaddarahatti village in Gangavati taluk, on December 5, 2022. The family claimed they spent around Rs 35 lakh on the wedding and gave 150 grams of gold to the groom.
After marriage, the couple lived in BTM Layout. Praveen, earlier employed with Oracle in Whitefield, had left his job and started a panipuri business. The couple has a son.
The complaint alleged that Praveen and his mother, Shantavva, harassed Shilpa mentally and physically for money, demanding Rs 5 lakh for his business. When the demand was not met, she was allegedly assaulted and sent back to her parents.
Sharada said she eventually raised the money and sent her daughter back, but the harassment continued. Four months ago, a quarrel reportedly broke out during discussions about Shilpa’s baby shower.
On August 26, the family was informed that Shilpa had died by suicide. When they reached her house, they found her lifeless on the bed, covered with a sheet.
Based on the complaint, police arrested Praveen on Thursday. Further investigation is underway.
