Belthangady: Aneesh Joy, a native of Dharmasthala and Belthangady taluk who is currently residing in Kerala, has filed a police complaint at the Thaliparamba Police Station in Kerala, alleging that his father was murdered in 2018 under the guise of a road accident due to a land dispute. The local police have accepted the complaint and are reportedly conducting a preliminary inquiry.
According to the complaint, Aneesh's father, Joy, was residing in Savanalu village of Belthangady taluk. On April 5, 2018, while riding a bike near Beluvai in Moodbidri, he was hit by an unidentified vehicle and died on the spot. Though a case was registered at Moodbidri police station at the time, Aneesh alleges that the police did not conduct any meaningful investigation. He claims the police failed to identify the vehicle involved in the accident and suspects that influential individuals were behind the incident and that the police dismissed the case under pressure.
In his complaint, Aneesh further alleges that there was land in Dharmasthala registered in his father's name, and there had been ongoing attempts to forcibly seize this property. He claims his father had been receiving repeated threatening calls regarding the matter.
The complaint states that the family owns around 20 acres of land in Dharmasthala village. In light of several other murders recently reported from the Dharmasthala region, Aneesh has urged the police to reopen the investigation into his father's unnatural death. He has also expressed concern for his own safety and has requested police protection.

Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
