Twitter users school B'luru Police Commissioner after he tweets details of seized vehicles
Question why CM's son was allowed to travel inter-district to visit temple
Bengaluru: City Police Commissioner Kamal Pant on Wednesday evening tweeted the details of vehicles seized on May 19 from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm. The top-cop however faced flak from the Twitter users over the tweet, calling out on the city police for allegedly harassing people during the lockdown.
In the tweet, Kamal Pant noted a total of 941 vehicles including, 870 two-wheelers, 37 three-wheelers, and 34 four-wheelers were seized during the day. He further added 06 cases were booked under NDMA laws for violation of lockdown norms.
Twitter users lashed out at the Commissioner of Police and called out to him for allowing the vehicle of CM Yediyurappa’s son for inter-district travel although he wasn’t serving any emergency.
Other users also complained about alleged harassment by the city police during the lockdown and claimed the police would only check and seize vehicles when there are media cameras around and would otherwise let go of people riding triple seats.
CM Yediyurappa’s son BY Vijayendra had earlier on Wednesday triggered controversy after breaking lockdown rules to visit the temple by traveling inter-district to Nanajandudu with his wife.

Mamata asks TMC nominees not to leave counting centres as EC data shows BJP leading
Kolkata (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday urged TMC candidates and agents to remain vigilant and not to leave counting centres, alleging that there was a "game plan" by the BJP and the Election Commission to show the saffron party taking a lead in the early trends of counting.
In a video message issued during the counting of votes, the TMC supremo appealed to party workers to stay put and not to lose morale.
"I appeal to everyone that neither TMC candidates nor counting agents should abandon counting centres," she said.
As trends on the Election Commission website indicated the BJP leading in 188 seats against the TMC's 94, Banerjee maintained that her party was still ahead in a significant number of constituencies.
"We are still ahead in 170 seats, but I request everyone not to lose hope," she said, adding that there were "around 70 to 100 seats where we are leading, but they are not sharing the data of those seats".
"A false narrative is being spread," she alleged.
The chief minister accused the Election Commission of "not declaring results or leads" in areas where the TMC was ahead.
"This is a game plan by the EC and the BJP as it (poll panel) is not declaring results or leads in areas where we are leading," she said.
Banerjee also alleged irregularities in the counting process at some locations.
"In several places, counting has been stopped after the first two to three rounds. In Kalyani, we have caught seven machines with severe anomalies," she claimed.
She further alleged that TMC workers were being "harassed with the help of central forces" and that party offices were being "vandalised and forcefully captured".
"With the help of central forces, they are harassing and torturing AITC workers. Our offices have been vandalised," she said, also alleging that voter list revision exercises were "purposefully done to target seats where we were strong".
Seeking to reassure party workers, Banerjee said more rounds of counting were yet to take place and urged them to stay firm.
"Fourteen to eighteen rounds of counting will happen. You will surely emerge victorious. Don't be afraid; fight like tigers," she said.
Her remarks came as counting trends suggested that the BJP was leading in 188 seats and had crossed the halfway mark of 148 in the 294-member assembly, pointing to a potential shift in the state's political landscape.
Counting for 293 constituencies was underway with postal ballots, followed by EVM votes.
Officials cautioned that trends could change as more rounds are counted, and final results would be known later in the day.
