Mangaluru: In another major transfer in the police department of Mangaluru city, after transfer of Commissioner TR Suresh, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Uma Prashanth was transferred to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the city.

She will take charge as the Superintendent of Police (SP) in Anti Corruption Bureau Mangaluru.

Uma Prashanth, carved a reputation for herself of ‘tough cop’ or ‘lady Singham’, while working fearlessly under the supervision of now transferred Police Commissioner TR Suresh, and DCP (Law and order) Hanumantharaya.

The trio formed a formidable team, and took several mafias including the drugs mafia of the city head-on, they were successful in bringing the drug peddling rate down in the city.

With two of the three members of the ‘formidable team’ now transferred, it will be interesting to see how the new team under new Commissioner Sandeep Patil keeps the crime rate and law and order of the city under check.

New Commissioner Sandeep Patil, however, made it clear soon after taking the charge that fighting drugs mafia of the city will be one of his top priorities.

Tehran: A senior member of the office of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is being quoted by Iranian media amid conflicting reports about his status in the ongoing conflict with Israel and the United States.

According to Iranian media reports, the official said, “Ayatollah Khamenei is steadfast and resolute, and is actively commanding the field.” The remarks were made in response to widespread unverified reports circulated in some foreign media that claimed the supreme leader had been killed in recent US–Israeli strikes on Iran.

The statement counters reports suggesting a change in Iran’s leadership after the military escalation. There has been no independent confirmation of Khamenei’s status.
