Mulbagal Congress candidate’s nomination rejected
Kolar: The returning officer of Mulbagal Assembly Constituency (SC) on Thursday rejected the nomination papers of Congress nominee Kottoru J Manjunath.
The scrutiny of Manjunath was postponed by the respective RO in view of Karnataka high court verdict.
The court held that Manjunath failed to establish that he belongs to a ST community, the Beda Jangama. It declared that he belongs to the Byragi caste, which is a Backward Caste.
Due to this, other candidates asked the election authorities to reject Manjunath’s nomination. Following which his nomination has been rejected.
Munianjenappa, a JDS candidate contesting against Manjunath, had given a complaint to the election commissioner saying Manjunath had submitted fake caste certificate to the Election Commission. Following which the RO has rejected Manjunath’s nomination papers.

Rape accused's mother murdered by victim's brother in MP's Shivpuri
Shivpuri (PTI): The 60-year-old mother of a rape accused was killed allegedly by the victim's brother in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district, a police official said on Saturday.
The incident took place on Friday, Rannod police station house officer (SHO) Arvind Chauhan said.
"An anganwadi worker returning from a hospital was offered a lift by one Inder Gurjar, who took her to a secluded spot and raped her. She called up her brothers to narrate the ordeal. One brother of the victim along with two associates went to Gurjar's house and assaulted him. When Gurjar's mother Sirkunwarbai (60) intervened, she was attacked with a sharp weapon. She died on the spot," he said.
