Fire at model house owned by Janardhan Reddy’s wife in Ballari; Eight including six minors detained
Ballari: A fire incident was reported at a model house owned by Aruna, wife of former minister Janardhan Reddy, at the G Square property in Ballari after a group of youngsters allegedly set fire while shooting reels and photographs.
Ballari Superintendent of Police Suman D. Phannekar said a detailed investigation is underway to ascertain all aspects of the incident. He stated that statements of all those taken into custody have been recorded and, so far, their versions are consistent with the physical and scientific evidence collected during the investigation.
Based on preliminary findings, police have taken eight persons into custody, including six minors. Scientific evidence was collected at the spot with the assistance of the Scene of Crime Officers (SOCO) team, the SP said.
A case has been registered at the Ballari Rural Police Station based on a complaint filed by the site manager. Police visited the spot immediately after receiving information about the incident and carried out an inspection. Fire and Emergency Services personnel were alerted and they promptly brought the fire under control.
According to the police, the incident occurred when the group climbed onto the rooftop of the model house to shoot reels and take photographs and videos. Without realising the seriousness and consequences of their actions, two members of the group allegedly set fire, which later escalated into a fire accident.
Meanwhile, former MLA Somasekhar Reddy had earlier alleged before the media that the incident was linked to Ballari city MLA Nara Bharath Reddy. However, police officials stated that the investigation is ongoing and further action will be taken in accordance with the law based on the findings.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
