Fake News Alert : DK SP issues clarification over news of Hindu Activist assaulted in Puttur
Puttur: The Dakshina Kannada SP has issued a clarification that there is no truth in several posts on social media that claim that an activist in support of the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya has been attacked by the followers of political leader Arun Kumar Puthila.
A case and a counter-case have been filed at the Puttur Rural Police Station by the parties from Munduru involved in the fight and the officers are investigating the issue. Citizens are requested not to pay heed to false information on any matter, the SP has urged.
Real Incident
The Puttur Rural Police have filed two separate cases in relation to a fight over property in Munduru village of the taluk on Sunday night. The fight resulted in the physical assault of members of rival parties and four people, including two women. The injured are currently being treated in a private hospital in Puttur.
The injured persons are identified as Keshava Naik (35), his mother Jayanthi (55) who belonged to one of the two groups involved and Santhosh BK (29) and his mother Savitha (50), from their rival group.
Santhosh complained to the police that, on Sunday night as he was walking home from his garden after parking his scooter near his garden, the accused Keshava, Dhananjaya and Jagadish stopped him on the way and assaulted him physically.
Hearing the furor, Santhosh's mother Savitha came out of the house but Keshava assaulted and also threatened her. The attackers took away Santhosh's mobile phone and wallet, which had Rs 25,000 cash, he told the police in the complaint filed.
Keshava Naik filed a counter complaint with the police, accusing Santhosh, his wife and a third person Sandeep of starting to pull down the wire fence that had been put up around his garden. When Naik questioned them, they verbally abused him and also gave him a death threat. In addition, Koragappa Naik and his wife Savitha, who had accompanied the trio, also abused him verbally. When Keshava Naik left for the police station with his cousin Dhananjaya to file a complaint against the destruction of the fence around his garden, Koragappa Naik and his son Santhosh attacked him physically, hitting him on the head. Keshava Naik's mother came to the spot on hearing the sound of a fight but was also attacked by Santhosh and his friends, Keshava Naik has said in the police complaint.
Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police CB Rishyanth, responding to the news of the police complaints by the rival parties, has requested readers not to fall for false information and fake news.

"He was forced to take them": Warne's son says COVID vaccines caused legend's death
Sydney, Apr 13 (PTI): Four years after Shane Warne's death left the cricketing world in shock, his son Jackson has asserted that the spin legend's demise was probably caused by the "three or four" COVID vaccines that he was "forced to take for work."
Speaking on '2 Worlds Collide podcast', Jackson, however, also acknowledged that his father had underlying health issues. Warne was 52 when he died in Thailand in 2022 after suffering a heart attack.
"I definitely think that it (COVID vaccine) was involved. I don't even think saying that is controversial anymore. Even if dad had underlying health issues, I think this brought it out right to the surface and that's one thing that I've always struggled with," Jackson said.

"My first impression, as soon as I hung up the phone (after receiving the news of Warne's death), I instantly blamed the government. I instantly blamed COVID and the vaccine."
Jackson said he barely managed to stop himself from vocalising his exact thoughts at the memorial service.
"It was probably smart I didn't, I would be in a very different position if I did. But that was how I felt," Jackson said.
"Yes, a lot of people were dying of heart attacks before. But dad was okay, I think he might have got three or four (vaccine doses), he didn't want to get them, he was forced to get them for work. He was forced to get them like everybody else," he asserted.
"...I try not to think about it too much because all that does is fester into anger. That anger is not good for anybody," he added.

Giving an insight into the lifestyle of his father, who was known to be indulgent, Jackson said it was relatively healthy despite the smoking and drinking.
"Dad, at the time, was healthy, he was happy. He looked the best he had in a while. Yes, he smoked and drank, but so many more people in their 80s and 90s still smoke and drink a lot more than dad," he said.
Warne had contracted COVID a few months before his death during his 2021 coaching stint with The Hundred event in England.
However, he was not known to have any major ailment at the time of his stunning demise.
