HC declines bail to main accused
Cattle trader Hussainabba murder case
Bengaluru, August 16: The Karnataka High Court on Thursday denied bail to the main accused in the murder case of cattle trader Hussainabba Jokatte.

In this case, two police personnel including Hiriyadka police station PSI were arrested on charges of dereliction of duty. Now, the High Court rejected the bail plea of six main accused of the Bajrang Dal. Now, they have to move to the Supreme Court.
On Thursday, there was parade to identify the accused at Karwar jail where the witnesses have identified all the accused. Following this, the High Court has rejected the bail plea of accused number 2, 4, 6, 7, 14 and 15. As a result, they have to be in the jail. But the HC has granted bail to two police personnel who were named as accused number 9 and 10 in the case.
Advocate Chandramouli argued on behalf of the state government, while Abdul Latheef Badagannur argued for the complainants and BV Acharya argued in favour of the accused.

We need to create system in which people's skills get their due: Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi (PTI): Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi Friday called for creating a system in which people's skills get their due and everyone's contribution is respected, as he shared a Diwali video in which he interacts with paint job workers and potters.
Posting the over nine-minute video which features him also having a conversation with his nephew Raihan Rajiv Vadra on YouTube, the former Congress chief said, "A memorable Diwali with special people - I celebrated this Diwali working with some painter brothers and making earthen diyas with a potter family."
"I saw their work closely, tried to learn their skills and understood their difficulties and problems. They don't go home. We celebrate festivals happily and to earn some money, they forget their village, city, family," Gandhi said.
"They make happiness from clay. While lighting up the festivals of others, are they able to live in light themselves? Those who build houses can hardly run their own houses!" he said.
Gandhi said Diwali means light that can remove the darkness of poverty and helplessness.
"We have to create such a system -- in which people's skills get their due and contribution is respected -- makes everyone's Diwali a happy one. I hope this Diwali brings prosperity, progress and love in the lives of all of you," he said.
In the video, Gandhi is seen working with labourers at the 10 Janpath residence and learning to paint walls along with his nephew. In the second part of the video, Gandhi goes to the house of a woman who makes earthen lamps with her five daughters.
Gandhi tries his hand at pottery and makes 'diyas', which he says he would give to his mother and sister.
Since his Kanyakumari to Kashmir Bharat Jodo Yatra and his Manipur to Mumbai Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Gandhi has been interacting with a cross-section of people from mechanics and cobblers to labourers and bus drivers.
He often posts videos of his numerous interactions and highlights the plight of various sections of society.
