Relocate unnecessarily erected tomb from Datta Peeta to Nagenahalli: Karnataka Minister Sunil Kumar
Chikmagalur: Karnataka Minister for Energy, Sunil Kumar on Monday called on the people to relocate the unnecessarily erected tomb from Datta Peeta to Nagenahalli in the wake of High Court's directives.
“In support of the High Court’s directive, I want to notify and say that the tombs that have been unnecessarily erected in Datta Peeta must be relocated to Nagenahalli and Hindus must be provided with the opportunity to perform Pooja there”
After visiting Datta Peeta on Monday, the Minister later spoke to the media and said, “The Dattatreya Peeta is different and the Dargah at Baba Budangiri is different. The records have proven this matter. The Court has directed that the poojas in Datta Peeta must be performed by Hindus. Muslims must open their eyes and see this. You can develop the Dargah at Nagenahalli”
“The former Siddaramaiah government had decided against Hindus concerning the Datta Peeta. It had conducted in an anti-Hindu manner by nominating the Mujawar. However, the Court has passed the judgment that Mujawar cannot perform Pooja in Datta Peeta now, only the Hindu priest must perform the Pooja. The government will take decisions supporting the sentiments of the Hindus”, he informed.

Hubballi: Gym trainer assaulted; police say clash due to personal reasons
Hubballi: A gym trainer was allegedly assaulted by a group of people following accusations of sexual assault and ‘love jihad’, even as both families involved in the case traded serious allegations.
According to police, a group of individuals went to the residence of Sameer Mulla, a resident of Vijayanagar, and questioned him over his friendship with a woman he had met at a gym. The situation escalated into a clash, during which he was allegedly dragged away and assaulted. He sustained minor injuries and was admitted to KIMS hospital.
N. Shashikumar said that after this incident, members from Sameer’s side went to the woman’s house, leading to another clash in which one person was injured. “It was wrong for groups to go near houses. We will take necessary legal action,” he said, adding that the incident appears to have arisen from personal reasons. Police have taken some individuals into custody and are investigating the matter.
Sameer Mulla was reportedly thrashed by a group of Sangh Parivar activists and later handed over to police at the Old Hubballi Police Station after relatives of the woman and members of Hindu organisations gathered at his residence in Rajnagar.
The woman’s family alleged assault and threats from Sameer’s relatives at their Vikas Nagar residence.
Meanwhile, Sameer’s family denied the allegations and accused the woman’s relatives and others of assaulting and kidnapping him. His sister said the two had been in a relationship for three years and that the allegations were baseless.
Police said statements from both sides have been recorded, and a detailed investigation is underway. Sameer remains hospitalised, and appropriate legal action will be taken based on findings.
In a video statement shared on social media, the 20-year-old woman alleged that Sameer had given her an intoxicant, recorded videos without her consent, and sexually assaulted her. She lodged a complaint alleging rape and blackmail, which police are investigating.
In another video, Sameer denied the allegations, claiming the video was recorded with consent and that the accusations were made under pressure.
Former Hubballi-Dharwad Urban Development Authority (HDUDA) chairman Nagesh Kalburgi termed the incident a serious matter and urged police to take strict action.
Police said the case involves multiple complaints from both sides, and further investigation is underway.
