Chikmagaluru: SP Annamalai transferred; Harish Pandey is new SP
Chikmagaluru, October 16: The state government on Tuesday transferred Chikmagaluru SP K. Annamalai to Bengaluru South with immediate effect. In place of Annamalai, the government has placed Harish Pandey.
Harish Pandey had worked as CID SP. He was instrumental in investigating the Gauri Lankesh murder case.
For the last few days, rumours were doing rounds that Annamalai would be transferred. As soon as BS Yeddyurappa took over as the Chief Minister after Assembly election, he had transferred Annamalai to Ramanagar. But in the later political developments, H.D. Kumaraswamy became the Chief Minister. After, the new CM has cancelled the transfer of Annamalai and retained in Chikmagaluru.

IPL 2026 to be held between March 26-May 31 window
Mumbai (PTI): The upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League will be held between the March 26 to May 31 window but it remains to be seen if Bengaluru, the home of RCB, holds the opening match.
As per the norms, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium should host the tournament opener given the home side, Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the IPL 2025 title.
While the venue has received conditional clearance from the Karnataka state government, it also needs to meet the necessary safety and security standards following the death of 11 fans in a stampede during RCB's victory celebrations in June this year.
The mini-auction for IPL 2026 will be held in Abu Dhabi today with three-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders coming in with the biggest purse.
