Karnataka CM's security breach: Police seize MLA Janardhana Reddy’s cars
Koppal (Karnataka), Oct 8: The Gangavathi police have seized three luxury cars of mining baron and MLA Janardhana Reddy for allegedly breaching the security of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah by coming on the way of his convoy and creating an accident scare, police sources said on Tuesday.
The chief minister was in Gangavathi on 4 October. The police had cleared the road for the chief minister's convoy to pass, but Reddy's car allegedly passed on the stretch by crossing the road divider. It was just a matter of two minutes. Had the car got struck, it would have resulted in a major accident, according to police sources.
Reacting to the police action, Reddy said he waited for half-an-hour for the chief minister's convoy to pass. "Whoever is the chief minister or, for that matter, whoever they are, they should not put people in trouble. There was homam happening in my family in Ballari and there was urgency to attend the ‘Poornahuti' (final offering)," the MLA explained.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
