LS Poll: Ananth Kumar won’t contest from Bengaluru South?
Bengaluru, October 03: As Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar is undergoing treatment for a disease at a hospital at New York in the USA, he is not likely to contest the Lok Sabha election from Bengaluru South, sources said.
It is said that the BJP has been trying to find a suitable candidate in place of Ananth Kumar. But the BJP has not given any official statement about this so far.
“His health condition may not permit Ananth Kumar to contest the forthcoming Lok Sabha election. But the party has not yet decided about the candidate in place of him”, a report said quoting a BJP leader.
BJP has been winning the Bengaluru South Constituency since 1996. As Ananth Kumar is undergoing a treatment in the USA, it is difficult for him to participate in the campaigning or contesting the election this time. In view of this, the BJP is trying to find a new face or fielding a member from the family of Ananth Kumar for the constituency, it is said.

Moodbidri Police Inspector accused of sexual harassment; Panambur ACP to investigate
Mangaluru: The City Police Commissioner has directed the Mangaluru (North) Assistant Commissioner of Police to investigate a complaint filed by the wife of a man arrested by Moodbidri Police accusing the station inspector on grounds of sexual harassment.
The complainant’s husband has reportedly been arrested for embezzling money, with Moodbidri Police filing a case against him. The wife has now said that Moodbidri Police Station Inspector Sandesh BG told her that he would produce a rowdy-sheet against her husband unless she had sex with him and paid him Rs 25 lakh.
Several TV channels are also learned to have carried the news of her complaint on Monday. The officers of the State Women’s Commission, who noticed the news, reportedly approached the City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy and requested him to get the matter probed.
Speaking to reporters, Reddy denied having received any complaint filed by a woman against the Moodbidri Inspector. “We will probe the matter and take immediate action upon receiving any such complaint. In the backdrop of the alleged complaint filed against the Moodbidri Inspector, I have directed Panambur ACP Shrikanth to investigate and submit a report. Immediate legal action will be taken as soon as we get the report,” he said.
The senior officer further said, “The complainant is not on good terms with her sister and has also accused the inspector of having been biased in favour of her sister. The matter is in court but we have taken no action against the inspector since he has been carrying out his duties diligently.”
The Commissioner also clarified that, while the woman showed a video clip of the Moodbidri Inspector jumping a wall, the Police Department is unable to take action until the owner of the house files a complaint in the matter.
Reddy added that the complainant had not produced any audio clip as evidence.
