Mangaluru: BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje has alleged that the Congress leaders were responsible for Thursday's violence in the city. Addressing press persons here on Saturday, she said that the city started burning within 24 hours of UT Khader delivered a provocative speech in front of the DC office. Congress leaders should bear this burden, she added.

The incident seems to have taken place because the leaders of the PFI and SDPI wanted to take control over Mangaluru. This requires a thorough investigation. Who came to Karnataka from outer state. Who participated in the fight. Investigation into who hurled stones, petrol bombs, who set fire must be carried out. Also, a thorough investigation must be conducted into who was behind the incident.

For a query regarding a provocative statement made by a police inspector in a video, Shobha Karandlaje replied "everything will be investigated."

Mysuru (Karnataka) (PTI): A male leopard strayed into a house here on Friday, triggering panic among residents, forest officials said.

The incident occurred around 10 am at Siddhartha Layout in the city, they said.

According to officials, the leopard, estimated to be around three to four years old, entered the house of a resident identified as Suresh. The animal was found hiding beneath a cot in one of the rooms. Those in the house managed to escape and alerted forest department officials, who rushed to the spot along with veterinarians.

The leopard, suspected to have strayed from the Chamundi Hills or nearby forest areas, was eventually tranquilised. It was later safely shifted to the Mysuru Zoo, a senior forest official said.
