Bengaluru: BJP candidate for Bengaluru South Lok Sabha constituency Tejasvi Surya, who had received a notice from the Karnataka Women's Commission to attend an inquiry for allegedly harassing a girl, gave it a miss.

The commission had asked Tejasvi to appear before the court on Monday afternoon(Oct. 8). However, Tejasvi is said to have sent his lawyer on the backdrop of the election campaign.

Speaking to reporters, President of the commission Nagalakshmi Bai said when we issued him a notice earlier, he had said that he did not get any notice. Therefore, we issued a notice through Girinagar police station. 

Tejasvi must attend the inquiry. Otherwise, the Commission will take stern action. Tejasvi Surya is in Bengaluru itself, so he must visit. If he does not come, Girinagar police should take action against him, she said.

Varanasi (UP) (PTI): A 22-year-old undergraduate student was shot dead on the campus of Uday Pratap College here on Friday afternoon, following an alleged dispute with another student, police said.

The victim, identified as Surya Pratap Singh, was rushed to a hospital by police where doctors declared him dead on arrival.

Varanasi Police Commissioner Mohit Agarwal said the shooting was the result of a personal dispute between two students. Singh was a graduate-level student at the institute.
