Belagavi: A portrait was installed inside the Hindalga jail in Belagavi on Thursday in the presence of Karnataka Education Minister BC Nagesh.

The move comes in the wake of demands from the right-wing Hindutva groups to install a portrait in the jail as they claimed the RSS ideologue was lodged in the Hindalga prison for 99 adys.

Savarkar was housed in the prison between April 4 to 13 July 1950.

A video showed Education Minister BC Nagesh taking part in the event when the portrait was installed inside the premises of jail. The video also showed a group of men garlanding the photo of Savarkar, showering flowers, and raising slogans.

Thane (PTI): A 48-year-old doctor has allegedly been duped of Rs 70 lakh by three persons, including a woman, who offered to sell him a flat in Maharashtra's Navi Mumbai township, police said on Thursday.

The accused showed a flat located in Roadpali area of Kalamboli to the doctor and expressed their intention to sell it to him despite the fact that it had been already sold to someone else.

They took Rs 70 lakh from the doctor but did not give him possession of the flat, an official from Kalamboli police station said.

When the doctor demanded his money back, the accused evaded him.

The doctor on Tuesday approached the police with a complaint, based on which a case was registered against the three accused under legal provisions for cheating and criminal breach of trust, the official said.
