No conspiracy to kill Dalai Lama: Kumaraswamy
Bengaluru, October 01: Clarifying that there was no conspiracy to kill Dalai Lama as per the information of the state police department, Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy said that it was just a rumour.
Speaking to reporters at Vidhana Soudha here on Monday, the Chief Minister said that unnecessarily, the name of the Dalai Lama was being dragged into such issue.
On loan waiver, the CM said that there was no confusion regarding the issue. He had held a meeting with all bank officials and officers have not issued notices to the farmers. Banks and officials have been sending the intimation letters about discussion between the banks and the government. The letters have not intended to ask farmers to repay their loans, he said.
Javare Gowda in Pandavapura had borrowed loan in 2007 and in 2017, a notice was served to him. So, as a final resort, a notice was served from the Magistrate Court and it was not done in this government. He has already directed all bank officials not to force the farmers to repay their loans. Loan waiver was not a child’s play, he clarified.
“Congress and JDS leaders will sit and discuss about the Cabinet expansion. The Cabinet will be expanded shortly. If needed, we may change the portfolios of some ministers”, he said.
PWD is the mother department for all departments. Total 13 grade officers of various departments were transferred. The PWD has total 4,567 officers and among them, only 526 officers were transferred based on the transfer policy, he clarified.

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.
