Bengaluru: IAS officer Rohini Sindhuri filed a defamation suit against IPS officer Roopa D Moudgil in a city court on Monday.

Rohini Sindhuri appeared before the 24th Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) court with her husband Sudhir Reddy, reports New Indian Express.

Requesting for the arrest of Roopa, the IAS officer also claimed damages of Rs 1 crore in her petition.

Rohini Sindhuri said that, although the court had restrained Roopa from making allegations against her, Roopa continued to do so and thereby repeatedly defamed her. She cited the instance of Roopa referring to the Charamarajnagar hospital oxygen tragedy repeatedly on social media, although the government had conducted an inquiry into the matter. The IAS officer added that Roopa had been making allegations using personal matters.

The court directed to register a defamation case and adjourned the hearing till March 3.

Rohini Sindhuri had issued a legal notice to Roopa on February 22, asking for an unconditional apology on public platforms, removal of all posts related to her from her social media profiles as well as damages of Rs 1 crore.

Mysuru (Karnataka), Jan 7: The call for Mysuru Bandh to protest against Union Home Minister Amit Shah for allegedly insulting the architect of the Indian Constitution, B R Ambedkar, was a total, as shops and business establishments remained shut on Tuesday.

The call for bandh was given by Dr B R Ambedkar Abhimanigala Horata Samiti, which was supported by various Dalit and backward caste organisations.

The shops were shut and the city bus services were hit, bringing the city to a halt.

With placards, posters and banners, the agitators gathered near the bus stand and raised slogans. They also burnt Shah’s effigy.

The ruling Congress too joined the protestors and shouted slogans against the Union Home Minister.
