Praveen Nettaru’s wife loses job as Cong takes charge in state; withdraw dismissal order, urges BJP
Sullia: The change of government in the state has led temporary government employees to lose their jobs, including the widow of BJP activist Praveen Nettaru, who was employed on compassionate grounds after the murder of her husband.
The BJP state unit, however, has demanded that the order of dismissal from the job be withdrawn immediately.
Praveen Nettaru was killed on July 26, after which, his wife Nutan Kumari was appointed as a Group C senior assistant on contract basis in the office of former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in September 2022, following an assurance by BJP State President and Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel that she would be given a job on humanitarian grounds.
As requested by her, Nutan Kumari was given a temporary job at the Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner’s office in October 2022.
Since temporary appointments get cancelled following a change of government, Nutan Kumari has reportedly lost the job.
Severely criticizing the Congress for government employees’ loss of job, the BJP has said that the ‘politics of hatred’ undertaken by the Congress should be condemned.
“The Congress should also immediately withdraw the ordered depriving Praveen Nettaru’s wife of employment,” the BJP has demanded.
Commenting on the matter on its official Twitter account, the BJP Karnataka state unit has tweeted, “Praveen Nettaru was killed by members of the PFI, a terrorist organization nurtured by the Congress that spreads communal hatred. His wife was given a job by our government in the deputy commissioner’s office in Mangaluru on compassionate grounds. That the Congress government has begun using its politics of hatred is condemnable. We demand the government to immediately withdraw the inhuman dismissal order.”
The BJP also said, “It is unfortunate that the state suffers as Siddaramaiah’s government works as a puppet of the PFI.”

Hoax bomb threat emails spark security alert at Karnataka government offices; no explosives found
Karwar/Tumakuru: Government offices in three Karnataka towns were placed on high alert on Tuesday after bomb threat emails were received by the tahsildar offices in Karwar and Bhatkal, and the deputy commissioner’s office in Tumakuru.
According to a report published by Deccan Herald, police officials said all three emails originated from a single email ID and contained claims of “revenge from Tamilians and Pakistanis.” Following the threats, security agencies immediately swung into action and the premises were evacuated and thoroughly searched.
Teams from the local police, bomb disposal squad and dog squad were deployed at all locations. Authorities have confirmed that no suspicious objects or explosives were found. They called the threats a hoax, after extensive checks.
Uttara Kannada Superintendent of Police Deepan M N said precautionary measures were taken as per protocol to ensure public safety. “A detailed search was conducted at all the mentioned offices, but nothing incriminating was found,” he said.
Police have begun efforts to trace the source of the emails and identify the sender while security around key government buildings in the affected districts was heightened as a precaution, officials added.
