MP Pratap Simha gheraoed for entering booth despite not being voter
Mysuru, Sept 01: Expressing their ire against the Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha, who entered a polling station during the Mysuru Municipal Corporation polls despite not being a voter, the locals gheraoed him on Friday.
The incident took place at a polling booth at Srikanteswara School in KN Pura ward number 31 in Mysuru. MP Pratap Simha entered the booth with BJP candidate Padmanabha. But they were not voters there.
Local residents objected their entry into the booth and gheraoed Pratap Simha. Besides, they created ruckus saying that the non-voters should not enter the polling booths. When the MP tried to pacify them saying "I am a public representative and came here to check voting process," protesting people were not convinced.
Immediately the police arrived at the spot and ousted the non-voters. The incident took place when Pratap Simha visited Kyatamaranahalli ward and was heading towards another ward.

Kodagu: Wild elephant attacks canteen in Nellihudikeri
Kodagu: A wild elephant, accompanied by a baby elephant, attacked a canteen in Nellihudikeri, located in the Somwarpet taluk, early on Tuesday morning. The couple running the canteen narrowly escaped the attack, managing to flee in time.
The elephant, crossing the road near Attimangal Estate with the baby, suddenly charged towards the nearby canteen. The animal overturned tables, utensils, and snacks before causing a ruckus. The elephant eventually retreated after hearing the commotion from villagers at the nearby bus stop. It continued its journey towards Nallattikere village, where it attempted to attack a parked car.
The canteen owners, Jabbaar and his wife, survived the attack, though Jabbaar sustained minor injuries. The wild elephant's sudden appearance caused panic among the villagers, students, and workers in the area. Locals have demanded that the forest department initiate an operation to safely capture the elephant.
