Mumbai, Jul 8: Fourteen MLAs of the ruling JD (S)-Congress government in Karnataka Monday left for Goa as the scene of action on the fate of the Kumaraswamy-led regime shifted to the coastal state.

The MLAs, including 10 of Congress, two of JD(S) and two Independents, left for Goa in the evening and are being accompanied by MohitBhartiya, president of the Mumbai BJP Yuva Morcha, sources said.

Maharashtra BJP legislator Prasad Lad said the 14 MLAs left the luxury hotel in suburban Bandra where they were put up, at 5 pm. They are expected to stay at a resort in Goa, sources said.

Twelve MLAs arrived in Mumbai on Saturday evening and two had reached Mumbai Monday.

Karnataka's year-old Congress-Janata Dal (S) coalition government is on the brink of collapse after the spate of resignations by the MLAs.

The Karnataka Assembly has 225 members, including one nominated MLA. The halfway mark in the 225-member assembly is 113.

Before the latest spate of resignations, the Congress had 78 MLAs, the JD(S) 37 and the BJP 105. The Congress-JD(S) coalition effectively had the support of 119 MLAs in an Assembly where the halfway mark was 113.

Bengaluru: The Cubbon Park Traffic Police have registered a suo motu FIR against the owner of a white Lamborghini after a video of the vehicle performing dangerous stunts at Anil Kumble Circle went viral on social media, Deccan Herald reported.

The incident reportedly occurred between 2 am and 3 am on Saturday, when the luxury car bearing registration number KA 05 NR 0009 was seen drifting and making high-speed turns at the junction, posing a serious risk to public safety.

According to police, the driver circled the junction twice while performing stunts before speeding away towards the Cubbon Park Police Station stretch. Police noted that the driver and occupants were seen engaging in hooliganism, with some even standing out of the sunroof and screaming.

"Operating vehicles in a reckless manner on public roads is a non-negotiable violation of the law," a senior traffic police officer said.

"An FIR has been registered under sections pertaining to rash and negligent driving and endangering human life," the officer added. 

Police have approached the Regional Transport Office (RTO) to extract the full details of the vehicle’s owner. While the registration number has been confirmed, officials are verifying the insurance documents and the identity of the person driving the car at the time of the incident.

The Cubbon Park Traffic Police confirmed that the case was registered based on digital evidence and a report from the personnel stationed in the area for night vigil. Further investigation is underway.
