Bengaluru, October 22: K. Annamalai took charge as the new DCP of Bengaluru South zone here on Monday.

Annamalai took charge from outgoing DCP Dr. Sharanappa at the DCP office at South End Circle. Speaking to reporters after taking over the charge, Annamalai said that he was working in Bengaluru for the first time and he would involve in his work completely.  “Currently, I am a child. I don’t know anything about Bengaluru. I will get to know about Bengaluru within a week. It gives me proud feeling as I am taking charge from Sharanappa”, he said.

The state government recently transferred Annamalai, who was the SP of Chikmagaluru, as DCP of Bengaluru South.

Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.

"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.

Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.

"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.

"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.

Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
