Let BJP demand recovery of land allotted to RSS’ Rashtrotthana Parishat: M B Patil
Bengaluru: Minister for Large and Medium Industries M B Patil said that Rashtrotthana Parishat, an RSS body, hadn’t utilized five acres of land granted at Hi-Tech Defense Park for a multipurpose commercial complex. Let the BJP leaders demand for its return, he challenged. He was addressing a press-meet at Vidhan Soudha on Thursday.
"Rashtrotthana Parishat was granted the five acre land at the Hi-Tech Defense Park for a multipurpose commercial complex in 2013. They have not done anything there yet", he said.
Patil said that the RSS body had repeatedly demanded for more time in the pretext of Covid pandemic. Parishath had requested for two more years of time recently, he said. "BJP leaders Lehar Singh and Chalavadi Narayanaswamy must tell us if the land should be recovered or not", he demanded.

Shedding light on other irregularities, M B Patil said that former Minister of Industries Murugesh Nirani had allotted 25 acres for himself at the Navanagara industrial area in Bagalkot on March 12, 2012 where he had built Thejas International School. "That was the plot reserved for an agro-tech park. When he was re-elected to the post, he acquired another 6.17 acres of land at the same location again on December 19, 2022 and then wrote himself a congratulatory letter", he said.
The Minister said that if the Chanakya University didn't use 51% of land out of 116 acres allotted by the government within June 2025, it would be recovered. "Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) had incurred a loss of 137 crore rupees by selling the land to the University for a mere 50 crores. Why hasn't Narayanaswamy complained to the Governor about this?" he questioned.

MP: Woman, lover conspire to get husband killed; police looking for contract killer
Dhar (MP) (PTI): A 25-year-old woman and her lover have been arrested in the district for allegedly conspiring to kill her husband by hiring a contract killer, police said on Thursday.
The case was solved within 36 hours of the murder though the woman initially tried to mislead the police by claiming that robbers killed her husband, an official said.
Dev Krishna Purohit (28) was stabbed to death on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday at his house in Gondikheda Charan village, about 60 km from here.
Superintendent of Police Mayank Awasthi told reporters that accused Priyanka Purohit (25) was married to Dev Krishna when she was around 15 years old. Priyanka moved to her matrimonial home after attaining adulthood but was unwilling to live with her husband, leading to frequent disputes between them.
During investigation, it emerged that she was in a relationship with Kamlesh (32), the SP said.
The duo allegedly hatched a plan to kill Dev Krishna and hired a man identified as Surendra for Rs 1 lakh do the job, he said
After Dev Krishna was killed, Priyanka told police that unidentified persons broke into the house, attacked her husband with a sharp weapon while holding her captive in another room, and fled with valuables.
But the inconsistencies in her statements raised suspicion, and eventually she confessed to hatching the murder conspiracy, the SP said.
While she and Kamlesh were arrested, police are looking for the contract killer, the official added.
