Action can be taken against ‘corrupt’ cops only if allegations are supported by proof: Karnataka ADG
Mangaluru: Karnataka ADGP Alok Kumar has said that suitable action will be taken against police officers facing accusations of any sort if the allegations are supported by valid documents.
Speaking to reporters at district superintendent’s office here on Thursday evening, the officer stressed on the need to provide documentary proof while making an allegation. “If you are unveiling information about an act of corruption, please give proof of the place and the way in which it was done,” he said.
The ADGP said that he was visiting Mangaluru to inspect the police security in the backdrop of the Union Home Minister’s visit to Dakshina Kannada. “Election should not be a reason to sideline the problems and worries of the citizens. A meeting has also been organized for people to share their problems with us,” he added.
With the reporters referring to the allegation of police officers being hand in glove with the accused in the recent drug racket busted in the city, the ADGP said that no action could be taken unless the accusation comes with appropriate proof.
When asked about the communally sensitive areas in the district, the officer conceded that the Mangaluru Police Commissionerate limits included a couple of such places, like Surathkal, Bunder and Ullal. “In the entire district, Bantwal, Punjalkatte, Puttur and Belthangady Police Station limits are sensitive regions,” he said
He further stated, “In order to have direct contact with the public, the district police have been instructed to organize peace meets in such places.”
DIG (West) Dr Chandragupta and District Superintendent Dr Amte Vikram were present on the occasion.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
