NCR filed against Congress, BJP workers in Bengaluru for influencing voters
Bengaluru: An incident of alleged violation of the model code of conduct during the ongoing elections in Bengaluru has led to the filing of a non-cognizable report (NCR) against workers from both the Congress and BJP parties. The incident occurred near a polling booth at the Baiyyappananhalli Police Station on Saturday.
Despite prohibitory orders in place during the voting process, workers from both parties reportedly clashed near polling booths numbered 91 to 94 in Suddaguntepalya on Friday. The altercation, which violated the model code of conduct, was eventually quelled by police intervention. An NCR was subsequently registered at the Baiyyappanahalli Police Station based on a complaint lodged by BBMP Officer Shrinivas and police personnel Chandrashekhar, who were present at the scene.

The dispute reportedly originated from an alleged assault on a youth named Mohan in C V Raman Nagar of Suddanguntepalya, within the Bengaluru Central constituency, on Friday. Mohan, accompanied by his family, was wearing a saffron-colored t-shirt when he arrived to vote. His entry to the polling booth was met with strong objections from some individuals, resulting in a physical altercation. Subsequently, workers from both the BJP and Congress engaged in a heated exchange regarding the incident, leading to tense moments in the area until police intervention restored order.
The Baiyyappanahalli police responded to the situation and managed to bring the altercation under control.

Sonam Raghuvanshi, accused of killing husband during honeymoon in Meghalaya, granted bail
Shillong (PTI): A court in Meghalaya on Tuesday granted bail to Indore resident Sonam Raghuvanshi, who allegedly got her husband killed during their honeymoon in the northeastern state in 2025.
Sonam’s husband, Raja Raghuvanshi, went missing on May 23 last year during the couple’s honeymoon, and his mutilated body was found on June 2 from a deep gorge near a waterfall in Sohra area of East Khasi Hills district. Sonam and several others, including her alleged boyfriend, were arrested in the case.
"The accused has been granted bail by the court. However, necessary legal procedures are being followed and the police will continue to pursue the matter as per law," SP Vivek Syiem told PTI.
According to police, Indore-based transport businessman Raja Raghuvanshi married Sonam on May 11, 2025, in Indore, and the couple left for their honeymoon in Meghalaya on May 20.
The autopsy report of Raja Raghuvanshi indicated that he was hit twice with a sharp object on his head.
Sonam surrendered on June 8 before the police in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur district.
In September last year, the Meghalaya Police submitted a 790-page charge sheet, naming eight people, including his wife Sonam and her alleged boyfriend, as the accused.
