Senior writer Kotiganahalli Ramaiah assaulted by gang in Kolar
Kolar : Senior writer Kotiganahalli Ramaiah and his son were seriously assaulted by a gang near the Muneshwar temple of Paparajanahalli on the Antargange hills of Kolar taluk. The incident occurred early in the morning over a trivial matter.
The assault reportedly stemmed from Ramaiah's objection to the loud volume of the loudspeakers used at the Muneshwar temple every morning and evening. He requested the volume be lowered as it was causing difficulty in reading. However, the accused individuals, identified as Manjunath, Bairappa, Subbu, and others assaulted him.
The altercation escalated, leading to Ramaiah and his son Meghavarsha being severely assaulted. Both victims were rushed to the district hospital for treatment.
The Kolar rural police station has registered a case in connection with the incident and has arrested one of the accused.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
