Chamarajanagar: In an incident reported from the Chamarajanagar district, a man has been apprehended by the police for allegedly killing a leopard that had attacked and killed his pet dog.

The lifeless body of a three-year-old female leopard was discovered on G.R. Govindaraju's farm located in Kootanur Elle Village, situated in the Bandipura in Chamarajanagar.

The accused, identified as Ramesh from Mallayanapura village, worked as a caretaker of the land. Following the fatal attack on his pet dog four days ago, Ramesh reportedly took matters into his own hands. It is reported that he sprayed pesticide on the leopard's carcass as an act of revenge.

Upon learning of the incident, forest officers responded to the scene and carried out necessary measures to handle the situation. They conducted an examination of the carcass and subsequently arranged for the cremation of the leopard in accordance with appropriate procedures.

Ramesh was later sent to judicial custody by local court.

New Delhi (PTI): The Congress Working Committee met here on Friday and adopted a resolution alleging the integrity of the entire electoral process was being severely compromised against which the party would soon launch a movement.

In the resolution of the top body of the Congress, the party said free and fair elections is a Constitutional mandate that was being called into "serious question by the partisan functioning of the Election Commission".

The CWC, which met amid the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament, said the session has been a washout so far because of the Narendra Modi government's "stubborn refusal" to have an immediate discussion on three pressing national issues -- "the recent revelations regarding corruption by a business group, and the violence in Manipur and Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal".

Asked why the Congress Working Committee (CWC) resolution does not name the business group, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said, "The answer is the Adani group".

"The CWC believes the integrity of the entire electoral process is being severely compromised. Free and fair elections is a Constitutional mandate that is being called into serious question by the partisan functioning of the Election Commission.

"Increasing sections of society are becoming frustrated and deeply apprehensive. The Congress will take these up these public concerns as a national movement," the resolution stated.

Addressing a joint press conference along with Ramesh and Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera, party general secretary, organisation, K C Venugopal said the party discussed the political situation in the country for four-and-half hours and adopted the resolution.

He said the CWC has decided to constitute internal committees to look into electoral performance and organisational matters.

About the Assembly polls results in Maharashtra, Venugopal said the electoral outcome in the state was "beyond normal understanding and it appears to be a clear case of targeted manipulation".
