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.

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.
