Mangaluru: The sixth Additional District and Sessions Court has granted conditional anticipatory bail to Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar.

The court put the condition that the MLA should not make any provocative speech that hurts the religious sentiments of people.

It may be recalled that Sunil Kumar, while participating in a BJP Padayatra function at Kalladka in Bantwal on January 23, had said "The election in Bantwal is between Allah and Ram and not between Rajesh Naik and Ramanath  Rai. People of Bantwal have to decide if they will make Allah win again or ensure the victory of a person who loves Ram."

A Congress worker Prashanth Kulal had filed a complaint with the Bantwal Police in this regard.

Mathura (UP), May 16 (PTI): As many as 90 Bangladeshi nationals, including many children, were apprehended from Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district on Friday for alleged illegal stay in India, officials said.

They were taken into custody from local brickyards at Khajpur village under the Naujheel police station limits, a senior officer said.

"Regular searches were being conducted throughout the district. During one such operation, police were searching some local brickyards when they came across Bangladeshi nationals working there," SSP Shlok Kumar said.

Giving a break-up, the officer said in all, 35 men, 27 women and 28 children have been taken into custody.

"During interrogation, all of them admitted to being Bangladeshi nationals living illegally in India. They moved to Mathura three to four months back from a neighbouring state. Police are trying to establish their links," the SSP said, adding that their job contractor and other associates are also being questioned.

The officer told PTI that police also recovered some Aadhaar cards from the Bangladeshi nationals, apparently issued on forged documents in some other state.

Further legal proceedings are underway, Kumar said.
