Lucknow, Aug 24: Taking a jibe at Uttar Pradesh minister Dharmpal Singh for allegedly taking his official vehicle on to the platform at Charbagh Railway Station here, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday said it is good that he did not reach there on a bulldozer.

"It's good that he did not go to the station on a bulldozer," Yadav said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, in Hindi.

He also posted a report stating that the minister took his official vehicle to the platform to catch the train.

Dharmpal Singh, the state's Animal Husbandry Minister, has, however, denied the charge.

"It was raining a lot. I don't move with a cavalcade like Akhilesh Yadav. There was only one vehicle that only went up till the escalator. The vehicle didn't go to the platform. I am a farmer's son and lead life like a normal citizen," he told reporters when asked about this.

Meanwhile, a video of an SUV going down on a ramp at the Charbagh Railway Station is doing rounds on social media since Thursday morning.

The SUV is said to belong to Dharampal Singh who is the MLA from the Aonla Assembly constituency.

Mangaluru: Mangaluru police have arrested a 50-year-old man from Kozhikode, Kerala, in connection with the murder of a 39-year-old man near Panambur Beach in Mangaluru. The accused, identified as Dharmaraj Suvarna, a resident of Thotabengre in Mangaluru, was arrested on Thursday night by a team of officers from the Panambur Police Station.

The victim, Muttu Basavaraj Vaddar, also known as Mudukappa, hailed from Amingada in Bagalkot. He had reportedly been on friendly terms with Suvarna. According to the police, the incident that led to the murder began over a dispute involving a mobile phone. Suvarna had recently purchased a new phone, which was borrowed by Mudukappa. Mudukappa allegedly damaged the device and did not return it, leading to escalating tensions between the two men.
