Gadag: IPS officer’s brother accused of drunken misconduct at police station
Gadag: A late-night incident at the Betageri Police Station in Gadag has sparked public outrage after the brother of an IPS officer allegedly entered the premises in an inebriated state, behaved inappropriately with police personnel, and obstructed their duties.
The accused, identified as Akshat Haddannavar, brother of IPS officer Anita Haddannavar, reportedly arrived at the station in a car along with an associate and engaged in rowdy behaviour. Witnesses claim that he parked his car in the designated space for the CPI and PSI, forcing the officers to leave their vehicles outside on the roadside. He allegedly used singular and abusive language towards officers and staff.
According to locals, Akshat also got into an altercation with people near the station, declaring that he was a lawyer and questioning their authority to act against him.
Despite the allegations of obstruction of duty and verbal abuse, police reportedly conducted only a drink-and-drive test before letting him go. This has led to public anger, with residents questioning whether the law is being applied differently for the relatives of senior officers compared to ordinary citizens.
An investigation into the incident is yet to be confirmed by the authorities.

Congress misleading public on National Herald case, matter still in court: BJP
New Delhi (PTI): The BJP on Wednesday accused the Congress of running misleading propaganda over the trial court's decision in the National Herald case and said the court refused to take cognisance of the complaint but did not set aside the case.
The case is still pending trial in the Delhi High Court, and the trial court in its order on Tuesday said that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) can continue its investigation, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia asserted.
"The court yesterday (Tuesday) said that since it is a private complaint and no FIR has been lodged, it will not take cognizance of it. It's a technical matter. The court also said that ED can continue its investigation further. The court did not set it aside," Bhatia told a press conference at the BJP headquarters here
"Its trial is still going on. Sonia Gandhi is still Accused Number-1 and Rahul Gandhi Accused Number-2," the BJP spokesperson said, alleging, "The Gandhi family thrives on deceit, deception, and propaganda."
