Mangalore. April 26: ‘ Kshatriya community is deeply pained by the denial of BJP ticket to former minister Krishna Palemar from Mangalore north Constituency. BJP should assure a prominent post to a loyal and committed leader like Krishna Palemar or else the community will either boycott the polls or remain neutral’, warned the Mangalore Chapter of State Kshatriya Union.

The president of the Mangalore Chapter, J.Krishnanand Rao addressed a press conference today and said that Krishna J.Palemar, a great leader of Kshatriya, a backward community, had striven for the development of the District taking in to confidence of every section  of the society.. He has ably managed that no communal or untoward incidents occurred in his constituency. He was instrumental in the victory of BJP in the last elections. He was generous in his contribution to the construction of offices for BJP and RSS.  It is unfortunate that he was denied the ticket even after the state BJP president asked him to be ready to file the nomination.

We are trying to meet the PM Narendra Modi at Udupi and urge him to provide a major role for Palemar in the party. 99.99 % of our community are supporters of BJP, however if no assurances are given, we should not be held responsible for the future actions of the community, he warned.

The district president of Maratha Kshatriya parishat A.V. Suresh Rao Karmore, the president of Puttur chapter Madhava Rao, Yogish Kumar Jeppu, Kalpana Venkatesh and others were present at the press conference.

Gorakhpur (PTI): A hospital employee was booked for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in the pretext of an ultrasound test here in the district women's hospital, police said on Saturday.

According to the complaint, the woman, a resident of the Gulriha area, visited the district women's hospital on Thursday morning for an ultrasound test.

She was directed to a room, where Abhimanyu Gupta was conducting ultrasounds. When her turn came, the accused allegedly stared at her and told her to remove all her clothes, claiming it was necessary for the test and that a massage would also be required, she said.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.

She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.

Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.

Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."

Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
