Ragini Dwivedi's bail application postponed further for three days till September 19
Bengaluru: The bail application hearing of Kannada Actress Ragini Dwivedi’s, who was arrested by police in drugs related cases, has been postponed once again till September 19.
Ragini had applied for interim bail which was pushed further on last Friday and this Monday. And now the application has been postponed further for three days till 19 September.
This will mean Ragini will have to stay further in the central jail at Parappana Agrahara, where she was taken two days ago.
On Monday, when Ragini was sent to judicial custody, her father had told Bangalore Times, "I am confident about Wednesday's hearing, as there are no serious charges against her. They haven't found anything. But the system itself is such that delays are likely to happen. Now, because there are new prosecutors, they will take their own time to file their objections. The procedure is such that even if you want, you cannot expedite anything. Everyone is moving at their own pace. We only get to know the truth when we get involved in things like this. There are bigger criminals out in the middle of the night after getting caught, but here they are just delaying it,"

Two arrested in K'taka for assaulting minors, uploading CSAM content
Bengaluru (PTI): Two men were arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two minor girls, recording the acts on mobile phones and uploading the videos online as child sexual abuse material, police said on Thursday.
The accused have been identified as Kiran Kumar (29), hailing from Chitradurga district, and Aditya M K (20), hailing from Shivamogga district, they said.
A probe was initiated after information was received from the NCRP portal regarding a suspected instance of creation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) for online dissemination, police said.
Accordingly, a case was registered at Kaggalipura Police Station under relevant sections of the IT Act on May 10, they added.
Investigation revealed that two minor girl victims were exploited and videos were created and uploaded to the internet. The child victims have subsequently recorded their statements as per procedure and further necessary legal steps have been taken, Pronab Mohanty Director General of Police, Cyber Command, said in a statement.
Based on the statements of the victims, the accused persons, who allegedly assaulted the minors, recorded the acts on mobile phones and uploaded the videos online, were arrested, he said.
Following the probe, sections 65(2) (rape) and 70 (gangrape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant sections of the POCSO Act, have been added to the FIR, police said.
Officials collected relevant information and on May 12, arrested the accused persons and seized three mobile phones belonging to them, in which the videos had allegedly been recorded, he said.
The accused were later produced before the court and taken into police custody for further investigation, he added.
According to him, in CSAM cases, police usually apprehend offenders who have downloaded such content or have kept them in their possession after obtaining them from elsewhere, usually the internet.
"The present case is one of the very few instances where content creators and uploaders have been apprehended," Mohanty added.
