Tejaswini Ananth Kumar meets DK Shivakumar, triggers speculation in political circles
Bengaluru: Amidst the ongoing political discourse regarding 'Operation Hasta' in the state, Tejaswini Ananth Kumar, the wife of the late Union Minister Ananth Kumar, recently held a meeting with Deputy Chief Minister (DCM) and Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President DK Shivakumar.
Tejaswini's meeting with DK Shivakumar has sparked significant interest and speculation within political circles. It is worth noting that Tejaswini had previously sought a BJP ticket to contest from the Bangalore South Lok Sabha constituency, a seat previously held by her late husband, Ananth Kumar. However, the ticket was ultimately given to Tejaswi Surya. This decision had reportedly left Tejaswini dissatisfied.
Additionally, Tejaswini has indirectly expressed criticism of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on several occasions following her husband's passing. Given these circumstances, her meeting with DK Shivakumar has raised questions and fueled speculation about her political intentions.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
