Rape incident at Gudinabali: CFI, NWF stage protest at Kaikamba
Centre urged to implement ‘self-defence’ scheme for women and children
Bantwala, September 21: Condemning the rape on 8-year-old girl near Gudinabali in the taluk, activists of taluk Campus Front of India and National Women’s Front staged a protest at Kaikamba on BC Road in the taluk on Friday.
NWF district committee member Sumaiah said that the NWF would strongly condemn the rape incident. The number of rape and exploitation of women and children was increasing considerably in the country due to which women and children would not have safety and living under serious insecurity. As the police have been booking petty cases against the rape accused, they were coming on bails very easily and involve in such activities again. So, the state government and the police department should consider such incidents seriously and take stringent actions against the accused. The victim should be compensated properly, she urged.

Kantara mimicking case: HC extends interim relief given to actor Ranveer Singh till March 9
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka High Court on Monday extended the interim relief given to Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh till March 9, in a case related to mimicking a character from the movie, 'Kantara Chapter-1', and allegedly mocking a deity.
The actor had approached the High Court seeking the quashing of the FIR against him for mimicking Rishab Shetty's role as 'Chavunda' deity in the movie.
While mimicking, Singh had called the deity a "ghost". The actor was asked to appear before the court in person on Monday.
Appearing on behalf of the actor, his counsel Sajjan Poovayya said Singh was stuck in London and was unable to reach Bengaluru due to the conflict in West Asia.
The complainant, who is a lawyer, alleged that his religious sentiments were hurt by calling the deity a ghost. On the directions of a local Court, the police registered a case against the actor.
The High Court on February 24 granted interim relief to the actor with directions to the police not to take any coercive steps against him.
