Bengaluru, June 8: MP and state BJP general secretary Shobha Karandlaje was booked at the  Vidhana Soudha police station against ‘insulting’ the sentiments of Hindu religion.

In his complaint, advocate S Nataraj Sharma urged the police to register case against Shobha Karandlaje under Column 298 for insulting the seers of Hindu religion and take legal action against her. In her press conference, Karandlaje said that Vishwesha Theertha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt was a Sanyasi and he was aged. He could not watch television. Such statements would hurt the Sanyasis, he said in the complaint.

Pejawar seer spoke against the central government for its failure in cleaning the river Ganges and bringing back the black money.

But while responding to this, Shobha has given irresponsible statement on the seer and insulted him. So, action should be taken against the BJP leader, he demanded.

Tiptur: A 24-year-old rider was killed on the spot in a head-on collision between his motorbike and a car near Bidiregudi of Kasaba hobli in the taluk.

The deceased rider, Vijay Kumar, was a resident of BL Koppalu Basaveshwara Nagara in Kasaba hobli, Arsikere taluk.

He was reportedly returning home after work at a welding factory near TM Manjunath Nagar Gate, Tiptur, when a car coming from the opposite direction collided with his bike near Bidiregudi. Vijay Kumar is said to have died at the spot due to the impact of the collision.

Locals have blamed the lack of signboards and other precautionary measures amid the construction of a four-lane national highway in the area, mainly between Bidiregudi and Konehalli. They have said that the carelessness of the National Highway Authorities of India (NHAI) has led to frequent accidents in the region.

“A meeting of officers from various government departments, including the police, was held recently under the chairmanship of the local legislator, but several NHAI officials were reportedly absent. Despite the meeting, officials appear careless in implementing safety measures, leading to a rise in accidents,” the locals said, demanding immediate action from the concerned authorities.
