“Freezing Cong’s bank accounts move to punish opposition,” Siddaramaiah’s jab at Centre
Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi led union government’s action of freezing the Congress party’s bank accounts. Calling it an act of, ‘abuse of power and an authoritarian move to punish the opposition parties,” He urged the Election Commission to direct the central government to withdraw its action immediately .
“The BJP government’s malicious intention is to freeze the bank accounts during elections and make the Congress party cry due to lack of funds. The money in our party accounts are collected from common people who are fans of the party and are not collected from big businessmen, but why such action ?,” questioned Siddaramaiah.
Meanwhile, he also stated that the Election Commission’s silence on Bharatiya Janata Party collecting and depositing crores of rupees from businessmen through electoral bonds is dangerous for democracy. He further urged the Commission to immediately take note of this and correct the injustice done to the Congress party.

He further said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP fear defeat. No matter what one brags in public, the inner conscience tells the truth. Narendra Modi knows what the actual situation is even though he claims to win 400 seats. It is because of this fear that the central government resorted of taking the retaliatory action of freezing the Congress party's bank account.”
“Our leader Rahul Gandhi is right when he said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is just a mask behind which there is an evil force that propels the government. This evil power is going to subvert the executive, the legislature and even the judiciary. Only elections have the power to stop this,” he added.

Ex-Army officer assaulted, robbed at gunpoint by woman he met through matrimonial website
Mathura(UP), Apr 5 (PTI): A retired Army colonel from Haryana has filed a police complaint here, alleging that he was held hostage, assaulted, looted and forced to participate in an "obscene video" at gunpoint with a woman he met through a matrimonial website, police said on Saturday.
The woman from Mathura, who was allegedly in on the plan to rob him, was working with other accomplices, the ex-armyman said in his complaint filed on Thursday.
According to Barsana Station House Officer (SHO) Raj Kamal Singh, Colonel Rajneesh Soni (retired), a resident of Gurugram, reported that he was contacted by a woman from Barsana on a matrimonial website in January. The woman allegedly agreed to marry him, and they began communicating.
The woman allegedly persuaded the colonel to visit Barsana on January 25, requesting that he visit the Radharani temple. When he arrived, she arranged for his stay at a guest house and took him on a tour of the area, including a visit to the temple, the complainant said.
After returning to the guest house, the woman and her accomplices allegedly told the colonel that her brother had been involved in an accident and they needed to leave immediately. They then led him to a waiting car.
"Once outside the town limits, the colonel alleges that he was attacked by the occupants of the car. They seized his phone, physically assaulted him, and forced him to contact relatives and friends to transfer money," the SHO said.
"He was then taken back to the guest house, where he was allegedly forced to participate in obscene videos and photographs at gunpoint. He was threatened that the videos would be made public if he reported the incident," the officer said.
The colonel has alleged that his purse, bag, gold chain, debit card and Rs. 12,000 in cash were stolen from the guest house.
After an unsuccessful attempt at locating the perpetrators himself, the colonel finally reported the incident to the Barsana police two days ago, he said.
"A case has been registered under relevant sections of the BNS and all facts are being investigated. Further action will be taken as per facts found in the investigation," the SHO said.
