BSY fuming over CM’s ‘shoot out killers’ statement: HDK- Deve Gowda justifies
Murder of JDS leader
Bengaluru, December 25: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy’s statement ‘shoot out killers’, that was said emotionally after his party leader Prakash of Thoppenahalli in Maddur taluk was killed, has snowballed into a controversy after opposition party BJP criticizing the CM strongly.
“A Chief Minister of the state should not give such statements. He should have thought about the law and order situation in the state before issuing such a statement. Instead of directing the authorities to punish the criminals within the legal framework, he has asked the police to shoot out the killers which is not fair”, said Opposition leader BS Yeddyurappa.
Speaking to reporters at a free health check up camp organized to mark the birth anniversary of former prime minster Atal Bihari Vajpayee here on Tuesday, Yeddyurappa said that with the love towards his party worker, Kumaraswamy has forgotten that he is the CM of the state. Such statements would instigate the police and officers to take wrong steps. Whether he was JDS worker or a common man, such killings should not happen. I strongly condemn the murder of Prakash. Such statements would have negative impact on the state. Kumaraswamy should tender apology of the state immediately, he demanded.
However, former prime minister HD Deve Gowda justified the statement issued by Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy. The JDS supremo retaliated Yeddyurappa who sought apology from Kumaraswamy. “I would not give answer to the statement of Yeddyurappa. Before this murder, the village has witnessed three more killings. Those who have come out of jail on bail, have attacked our party workers. The murder of party worker has pained Kumaraswamy. So, Kumaraswamy has given such statement in grief. Nothing wrong in it”, he justified.
Later, Kumaraswamy said that action would be taken as per law. Is it possible to shoot out when somebody instructed it? There is no need to analyse it, he said.
Clarifying about his statement, Kumaraswamy said that out of grief he has issued the statement. It is suspected that the accused in Prakash murder case are involved in two more murders. The murder has not caused any clash. Officials have been investigating the case, he said.

Miscreants decamp with 70 kg silver articles from jewellery shop in Bengaluru
Bengaluru (PTI): Unidentified miscreants allegedly broke into a jewellery shop here and decamped with approximately 70 kg of silver articles worth crores of rupees, police said on Friday.
The incident was reported at a jewellery shop near 8th Mile, Havanur, on April 28, they said.
According to police, the accused are suspected to have entered the premises from the rear after breaking open the lock and drilling a hole through the wall of the shop.
The incident came to light at around 7 am on April 28 when shop staff opened the premises and discovered signs of forced entry and extensive damage to the rear section of the building, following which they alerted police authorities.
Preliminary estimates indicate that around 70 kg of silver articles, worth crores, were stolen. Most of the silver items displayed in the cupboards were taken, while valuables kept in the locker remained intact, a senior police officer said.
Police said CCTV cameras inside the shop were not functioning. Efforts are underway to identify the suspects using footage from cameras installed in the vicinity.
The miscreants also allegedly took away the Digital Video Recorder (of CCTV) of an adjacent shop, the officer added.
Investigators are also examining the tools and techniques used to gain access to the shop, suspecting the involvement of a professional gang with prior knowledge of the store layout.
A case has been registered at Bagalagunte Police Station, and further investigation is underway to identify and apprehend the accused, police said.
