Belagavi: Former speaker, Congress MLA Ramesh Kumar reportedly gave a shocking statement to the media and said, “I died four days ago”.
When he was asked about the Belagavi Chalo initiative of the Karave Activists and the vandalism perpetrated by the MES activists, the MLA refused to answer to the media near the Suvarna Soudha saying, “I died four days ago, ask about this to a living person”, and folded both his hands before the press and went to the Vidhana Sabha.
In the recent assembly session, after condemning the half-hearted agreement to discussions on the farmer’s issues, Ramesh Kumar had said, “When rape is inevitable, one must enjoy” creating severe controversy in the public sphere.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
