Mangaluru: This could be my last video. My life is under threat and if something happens to me, my mother is responsible for it. I have suffered enough, for having loved a Muslim man for the last two years. I was sent to an orphanage run by RSS for 2 months and now I am in Mangaluru, under the custody of BJP, at a rented house. I have suffered a lot."

According to The News Minute 24-year-old Anjali Prakash, a native of Thrissur district, raised serious allegations against her mother and the Sangh Parivar, in a video released to her father's relatives.

The news portal reports, Anjali said that she was being illegally detained by her mother for being in a relationship with a Muslim man. The video was aired by Malayalam news channel MediaOne on Saturday, five days after the Mangaluru police rescued Anjali.

The woman said she shot the video from a rented house in Mangaluru she had been confined to for the past one year. Anjali further said that her mother took her to Amrita hospital in Kochi for psychiatric treatment, before bringing her to Mangaluru. She spoke about the alleged involvement of RSS and BJP members in harassing her.

Mangaluru DCP (Crime) Uma told TNM that a team of Mangaluru City Police rescued Anjali on May 1, based on a tip off.

The police also booked Anjali's mother for illegally detaining her daughter in the house. She was, however, released on interim bail.

After rescuing Anjali, Second Class Judicial Magistrate Court in Mangaluru sent Anjali to a Mahila Mandiram, after she refused to go with her mother.

Anjali's case comes months after a Yoga centre in Tripunithura came under the scanner for detaining Hindu women in relationship with men outside their religion and allegedly torturing them.

Hyderabad (PTI): YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has moved the NCLT accusing his sister and AP Congress president YS Sharmila of illegally transferring shares of Saraswati Power and Industries holding by him and his wife Bharathi, on her and their mother Vijayamma's name.

The feud between Jagan and Sharmiala took a new turn in the form of the legal battle with the petition filed last month in the Hyderabad Bench of National Company Law Tribunal being taken up and posted to November for further hearing.

In the petition, Jagan said he entered into an MoU with Sharmila wherein he said that "out of love and affection" would transfer his and his wife's shares of Saraswati Power and Industries through gift deed to his estranged sister, subject to pending cases in respect of some properties including attachments by the Enforcement Directorate.

Jagan in a letter to his sister opined that the share transfer without fulfilling the legal obligations and clearance from court would potentially have adverse implications.

He, however expressed his desire to revoke the memorandum of understanding saying, "it is no secret that we are no longer on the best of terms, and in view of this changed situation, I wanted to formally intimate you and put you on notice that I have no further intent to act upon my original intent as expressed in the MoU."

Jagan said the properties, acquired by their father, former chief Minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy and the ancestral ones, were divided among the family members.

He intended to transfer the shares (Jagan's own property), in addition to Rs 200 crore he, directly or through their mother, gave to his sister during the past decade.

The former chief minister in his petition said he and Sharmila entered into a MoU on August 31, 2019 wherein he will transfer his and Bharathi's shares to his sibling at a later date after completing due process "unrelated to any consideration and purely out of love and affection".

"It is humbly submitted that to the utter shock and surprise of the petitioners…respondent No 1 (Saraswati Power and Industries) company wide board resolution has transferred the entire shareholding of petitioner no 1 and 2 (Jagan and his wife, respectively) in favour of respondent no 2 (Sharmila) and entire shareholding of petitioner number three (Classic Realty, owned by the family), herein in favour of respondent No 3 (Vijayamma)..." Jagan alleged.

The YSRCP chief said Sharmila, without gratitude and regard to the well-being of her brother, conducted a series of actions that deeply hurt him and that she also made several untrue and false statements publicly.

She also conducted actions that have not only been politically opposed to Jagan but are also blatantly untrue and have caused deep personal dissemination to him, Jagan said in his petition.

"The actions of Respondent No 2 (Sharmila) herein have strained the relationship between the siblings and have further resulted in melting down of all the love and affection the brother had for his sister," his petition said.

Due to actions by his sister, there is "no love left between the two siblings", and he decided not to proceed with his expression of intent to transfer the shares/properties as envisaged under the MoU and gift deed.

After differences cropped up with his brother, Sharmila joined the Congress party earlier this year and was made the president of its Andhra Pradesh unit. She unsuccessfully contested from Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency in the May general elections.
