Sardar Patel National Police Academy honors late Madhukar Shetty
State govt yet to recognize his immense services
Bengaluru: Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy affiliated to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs on Tuesday issued an order naming the Hall no 16, the Main Lecture Hall of Basic Course after late IPS officer Dr. K Madhukar Shetty.
The order stated the move came as a mark of respect to Madhukar Shetty for his commitment, dedication and also being a role model for the IPS Probationers.
An IPS officer of 1999 batch Karnataka Cadre, Dr. Madhukar Shetty is remembered as a honest, efficient and people friendly officer who took on bigwigs for breaking law without any hesitation.
Shetty worked as ASP Bengaluru Rural district and later as SP of Chamarajanagar and Chikkamagaluru.
Shetty was an integral part of the team that exposed illegal iron ore mining in Bellari, the backyard of powerful mining baron Janardhan Reddy which led to the resignation and arrest of then Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa.
Dr. Madhukar Shetty, had immense impact on the People and officers he worked with who describe him as incorruptible and straight forward officer.
The move from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel academy comes as a sigh of relief for Madhukar Shetty’s fans as Karnataka government has been reluctant in recognizing the services and goodwill of Dr. Madhukar Shetty among the People of the state.
The reluctant Karnataka government in December last year turned down the Proposal to name Varthur Kodi circle in Whitefield in Bengaluru after Dr. Madhukar Shetty’s name. The Proposal was made by BBMP.
Sources said the proposal was floated by then Whitefield DCP Adbul Ahad and Shetty’s friends. Hagadur ward corporator S Uday Kumar had proposed the renaming to the Palike’s town planning standing committee.

Trump’s fresh threat to bomb Iran amid reports of deal to end war
Washington (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened Iran with more bombing if it doesn't reopen the Strait of Hormuz, amid a report that the warring sides were nearing an agreement to end the war.
US media outlet Axios reported, quoting US officials and two other sources, that the US and Iran were getting close to a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war and set a framework for more detailed nuclear negotiations.
The US expects Iranian responses on several key points over the next 48 hours, Axios reported, adding that nothing has been agreed yet. This was the closest the parties had been to an agreement since the war began.
"Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
"If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before," Trump said.
According to Axios, the deal would involve Iran committing to a moratorium on nuclear enrichment, the US agreeing to lift its sanctions and release billions in frozen Iranian funds, and both sides lifting restrictions around transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
It said many of the terms laid out in the memo would be contingent on a final agreement being reached, leaving the possibility of renewed war or an extended limbo in which the hot war has stopped, but nothing is truly resolved.
