BJP state president B Y Vijayendra said that the failure of law and order in Karnataka was being discussed in the whole country. Murders were rampant and police themselves had to be protected in Channagiri, he stated. He was addressing the media in Bengaluru on Tuesday.

“Matka scams are rampant in the state. Illegal activities happen without any fear. It’s been a year since Congress came to power. It has no achievements to show for the past year. All developments have come to a standstill in the state. Neither the Honorable Chief Minister nor any single minister has laid any foundation stone or initiated any developmental works. No new projects are announced” Vijayendra said.

Prophesying disappointment to congress after Lok Sabha results, Vijayendra taunted Madhu Bangarappa by saying that he would ask the Yuva Morcha cadre to raise a donation for the education minister’s haircutting. He accused the minister of not knowing Kannada properly and alleged that the private contractors who outsource temporary workforce were given the responsibility of appointing guest teachers in Bengaluru. “This show how seriously the education minister has taken his department”, he added.

B Y Vijayendra questioned the human concern and honesty of CM and Dy CM in relation to the death of an accountant in Scheduled Tribes Development department. He alleged that a scam involving more than 187 crore had happened in the department. “Congress accused our government of corruption during the last Vidhan Sabha elections and came to power by repeating a lie 100 times. Now it is proved that Congress is the forefather of corruption”, he stated.

Bengaluru (PTI): Two men were arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two minor girls, recording the acts on mobile phones and uploading the videos online as child sexual abuse material, police said on Thursday. 

The accused have been identified as Kiran Kumar (29), hailing from Chitradurga district, and Aditya M K (20), hailing from Shivamogga district, they said. 

A probe was initiated after information was received from the NCRP portal regarding a suspected instance of creation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) for online dissemination, police said. 

Accordingly, a case was registered at Kaggalipura Police Station under relevant sections of the IT Act on May 10, they added.

Investigation revealed that two minor girl victims were exploited and videos were created and uploaded to the internet. The child victims have subsequently recorded their statements as per procedure and further necessary legal steps have been taken, Pronab Mohanty Director General of Police, Cyber Command, said in a statement.

Based on the statements of the victims, the accused persons, who allegedly assaulted the minors, recorded the acts on mobile phones and uploaded the videos online, were arrested, he said.

Following the probe, sections 65(2) (rape) and 70 (gangrape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant sections of the POCSO Act, have been added to the FIR, police said.

Officials collected relevant information and on May 12, arrested the accused persons and seized three mobile phones belonging to them, in which the videos had allegedly been recorded, he said.

The accused were later produced before the court and taken into police custody for further investigation, he added.

According to him, in CSAM cases, police usually apprehend offenders who have downloaded such content or have kept them in their possession after obtaining them from elsewhere, usually the internet. 

"The present case is one of the very few instances where content creators and uploaders have been apprehended," Mohanty added.
