Theerthahalli: NSUI demands action against ABVP for spreading obscene images of students on WhatsApp
Theerthahalli: The leaders of the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) visited the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) office on Saturday and formally requested that legal action be taken against the president of the ABVP student organization's Theerthahalli unit. The request comes in response to the circulation of obscene pictures of girls from a prestigious college in Tirthahalli through WhatsApp groups.
The NSUI leaders expressed concern over the potential blackmailing of young women, where they are enticed to join the organization and then subjected to filming obscene pictures of their bodies, followed by threats of making them go viral. Such incidents not only cause social embarrassment but also create a hostile environment for girls from respectable families to attend schools and colleges.

The NSUI urged for the immediate registration of a suo-motu case and initiation of an investigation into the matter. They emphasized the need for appropriate legal action to be taken without succumbing to the influence of influential individuals within the police department.
Among those present during the submission of the request were NSUI members Amaranath Shetty, Jayaprakash Shetty, Sujith Salian, Ashwal Gowda Sarath Malur, and several others.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
