BJP has no role in Gauri Lankesh murder: Jagadish Shettar
Hubballi, June 14: Categorically declining the role of BJP in the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh, former chief minister and BJP leader Jagadish Shettar said that the culprits in the case should be punished.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, Shettar said that the SIT has arrested some of the accused in related to Gauri Lankesh murder and interrogating them. But the investigating officers should find out the real culprits. Whoever it may be, those who committed crime should be punished, he said.
Both Veerashaiva and Lingayat are one and the same. Then where is the question of separate religion. The people have sent those who fought for separate Lingayat religion tag to home in the Assembly election. Now, they have been saying that they would fight legally for the separate religion tag. Before the election, they should have fought legally. But the people have not believed about the separate religion tag in election. Now, they have no option to go before the people. So, they have planned to take legal fight, Shettar criticised.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
