Two Kalaburagi Jailers suspended over alleged VIP treatment to inmates
Kalaburagi: Two jailers at the Kalaburagi Central Jail, Sainaz Nigewan and Panduranga Harwal, have been suspended for alleged dereliction of duty following accusations of providing special privileges to certain inmates.
The suspension comes after a video went viral on social media, showing inmates using smartphones and consuming ganja inside the jail premises.
The footage sparked widespread criticism, leading to an internal investigation. Kalaburagi City Police Commissioner Dr. Sharanappa conducted a raid on the Central Jail and investigated the allegations. Based on the findings, ADGP Malini Krishnamurthy issued the suspension order for the two jailers.

We received request; will decide soon whether to support TVK: Thirumavalavan
Chennai (PTI): VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan on Thursday said that his party received a request from TVK for support and the high-level committee of his party will decide whether to support the Vijay-led party to form the government.
The TVK won 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly and emerged as the single largest party. Vijay will have to resign from one of the two constituencies he has won.
Though the Congress party, which has five MLAs, has extended support to TVK, the actor-politician-led party was still short of as many seats to touch the magic number of 118, the majority mark in the 234-member House.
"We received the request letter from TVK. We are thankful for that. We have not ignored his (Vijay's) request. We have a procedure. Therefore, our party's high-level committee will decide soon. We are going to discuss the merits and demerits of our position," the VCK leader told reporters here.
With regard to the delay in the governor's call to the TVK, which is the single largest party, to form the government, Thirumavalavan requested the governor to invite Vijay to form the government. "It is a constitutional right and people's verdict," he added.
Asserting that the governor cannot say that Vijay should hold 118 MLAs' support now itself to form the government, he said that after taking over power, Vijay has to prove an absolute majority only on the floor of the Assembly.
