Bengaluru: Bhavani Revanna has been granted anticipatory bail by Karnataka High Court in connection with the kidnapping of a woman from KR Nagar, Mysuru, imposing certain conditions while granting bail.

Justice Krishna S Dixit presided over the hearing of Bhavani Revanna's bail application and reserved the verdict.

According to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) police, Bhavani Revanna was accused of non-cooperation during the investigation of the kidnapping case. The court, however, noted that Bhavani Revanna responded to 85 questions posed to her. The argument regarding alleged neglect of the victim, including claims of inadequate provision of food and clothing, was also dismissed by the bench, which found the police response unsatisfactory.

The High Court granted the anticipatory bail after considering the statement from the victim, who reportedly confirmed receiving clothes and food from Bhavani Revanna. The bail conditions include directives prohibiting Bhavani Revanna from entering Mysuru and Hassan districts.

New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday dismissed reports that the government is considering levying a tax or a cess or a surcharge on foreign travel as "totally false".

The prime minister said this in response to a new report suggesting that the government is considering levying a tax or a cess or a surcharge on foreign travel but no final decision has been taken yet.

"This is totally false. Not an iota of truth in this. There is no question of putting such restrictions on foreign travel. We remain committed to improving 'Ease of Doing Business' and 'Ease of Living' for our people," Modi said in a post on X.

It is rare that the prime minister himself has denied a media report.

The report, quoting sources, claimed that the proposal to levy a cess or a tax or a surcharge on foreign travel is being discussed at the highest levels.
