ABVP leaders face legal action for protesting without permission in Udupi
Udupi: A legal case has been filed against ABVP members for staging a protest without permission on April 23rd. The protest was organised to condemn the tragic murder of Neha Hiremath, a student from Hubbali.
Despite being denied permission due to the Election Code of Conduct being in effect, around 300 ABVP members gathered unlawfully at Jodukatte in the city. From there, they proceeded towards Udupi Service Bus Stand, causing a disruption to public traffic.
The ABVP members further aggravated the situation by blocking Clock Tower Road near the Udupi Service Bus Stand, which is a restricted area for protests. This resulted in inconvenience for the public and disrupted vehicular movement.
Following a complaint lodged by Flying Squad Officer Kumar Naik, a case has been formally registered at the Udupi Town Police Station.

SC grants bail to Umar Ansari in violation of model code of conduct case
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Monday granted bail to Umar Ansari, son of late gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, in a criminal case registered against him during the 2022 assembly elections for alleged violation of the model code of conduct.
A bench of Justices Hrishikesh Roy and PK Mishra asked Umar to appear before the trial court in connection with the case.
On January 25, the top court had granted him protection from arrest in the case.
The Allahabad High Court on December 19 last year had rejected the anticipatory bail application of Ansari, and said that looking at the facts and circumstances of the case, the offence is made out.
An FIR was lodged on March 4, 2022 at Kotwali police station in Mau district against Abbas Ansari (SBSP candidate from Mau Sadar seat), Umar Ansari and 150 unknown people.
It was alleged in the FIR that on March 3, 2022 at Pahadpura ground, Abbas Ansari, Umar Ansari, and organiser Mansoor Ahmad Ansari in a public meeting called for settling a score with the Mau administration. It was a case of violation of the election code of conduct.
Jailed gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari died of cardiac arrest at a hospital in Banda in Uttar Pradesh on March 28.
