New Delhi (PTI): Denied a bidi, a group of youths in west Delhi's Khyala area allegedly hit a man on the head repeatedly with a 'kada' (metal bangle) who died hours after receiving medical treatment, a police official said.

According to police, the 33-year-old man, Kanhaiya, was attacked late on Monday night.

He was approached by the group asking for a smoke, which he denied. Enraged, the accused hit the man on his head repeatedly with a 'kada' and injured him, a police official said.

Despite the wounds, the man visited the Guru Gobind Singh Hospital, where he received medical aid and was discharged with no medico-legal case registered, the official added.

However, his condition worsened hours later and was rushed to the hospital where doctors declared him "brought dead" early on Tuesday morning.

Police received information about his death from the hospital and have initiated legal proceedings.

"A case has been registered and suspects rounded up for questioning. We are analysing CCTV footage and conducting local enquiries to establish the full sequence of events," Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Vichitra Veer said, adding a post-mortem will determine the exact cause of the death.

Bengaluru, Aug 22 (PTI): Expelled BJP leader Basanagouda Patil Yatnal on Friday announced that he would launch a “non-adjustment political party” in Karnataka.

The Vijayapura MLA made the announcement in the assembly after Chief Minister Siddaramaiah highlighted the state’s financial woes and accused the previous BJP government of passing bills without funds during its 2019-23 tenure.

“You (Siddaramaiah) too got support from two of us,” Yatnal said, prompting Siddaramaiah to quip, “Please sit down. You have been expelled from the party.”

In his response, Yatnal said, “You were also expelled by former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda from the JD(S). Whoever is expelled from a party becomes Chief Minister one day.”

“I will be happy if you become Chief Minister,” Siddaramaiah said in a lighter vein. “But from which party will you do it?” the CM asked and suggested that Yatnal form a new party after his expulsion from the BJP.

“I am going to form a ‘Non-Adjustment Political Party’. Don’t worry if it cuts BJP’s votes. It won’t help you,” Yatnal responded. Siddaramaiah retorted that Yatnal should launch his outfit if he wanted the Congress to come to power.

The firebrand leader was expelled from the BJP for six years after repeatedly targeting former Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and his son, state BJP president B Y Vijayendra, over "dynastic politics" and alleging an adjustment between Yediyurappa and Siddaramaiah.

Several BJP legislators had joined his campaign before the party high command acted to quell dissidence.
