Mangaluru Court issues non-bailable warrant against former cop Jayanth Shetty in 14-year-old case
Mangaluru: A court on Monday issued non-bailable warrant against retired police officer Jayanth Shetty in a 14-year-old case for repeatedly skipping appearing in court despite summons.
The case pertains to a private complaint filed by activist Kabeer Ullal in 2008 when the officer was serving as the head of anti-rowdy squad.
Kabeer alleged Jayanth Shetty and other police personnel used to target innocent people from Ullal.
"Since I was fighting a legal battle against the harassment, Shetty arrested me during the 2008 communal riots that took place in Ullal.I was sent to the Bellary jail at the time. After being in judicial custody for one week, I was able to secure bail and during that time I filed a private complaint in the court against Inspector Jayanth Shetty and S.I. Shivaprakash. The case had even reached the High Court. Amid this, the Mangaluru Court dismissed my complaint. However, I was relentless and continued my battle. As a result of this, Shivaprakash had to secure bail, while Jayanth Shetty kept dodging court hearings and remained absent. Now the court issued a non-bailable warrant against Shetty on June 20”, Kabir Ullal said.
Kabeer's lawyer SS Qazi said the court has issued notice to Mangaluru Police Commissioner to arrest Shetty and present him before the court.

Ranji Trophy final: Paras Dogra headbutts Karnataka substitute during heated Day 2 in Hubballi
Huballi: Tempers flared on Day 2 of the Ranji Trophy final as Jammu and Kashmir captain Paras Dogra was involved in an ugly on-field incident with Karnataka substitute fielder KV Aneesh at the Hubballi Cricket Ground.
The confrontation took place in the 101st over of Jammu and Kashmir’s first innings. Dogra, who was batting with Kanhaiya Wadhawan during a key partnership, edged a delivery from Prasidh Krishna for a boundary. Soon after, he exchanged words with Aneesh, who was fielding at forward short leg.
What began as a verbal exchange quickly turned physical. In a sudden outburst, Dogra moved towards Aneesh and headbutted him while still wearing his helmet. The act left players and officials stunned, forcing the umpires to intervene immediately.
Senior Karnataka batter Mayank Agarwal stepped in and confronted Dogra, while the umpires worked to calm the situation. At the end of the over, Dogra apologised, but Aneesh appeared visibly upset and did not accept the apology on the field.
The tension did not stop there. Agarwal and KL Rahul were also seen engaging in sharp exchanges with the Jammu and Kashmir skipper. Moments later, another heated moment unfolded when Karnataka pacer Vijaykumar Vyshak and Wadhawan came face to face after accidental contact during a run. Teammates and officials again had to step in to prevent matters from escalating further.
Despite the dramatic scenes, Jammu and Kashmir continued to stay in control of the match. The team crossed the 350-run mark in the first innings, building on the strong start made on Day 1.
Earlier, Shubham Pundir had anchored the innings with a well-made 121. Yawer Hassan contributed 88 runs, while Abdul Samad added 61, putting Karnataka under sustained pressure in the final.
