Bengaluru: The state capital reportedly witnessed murders of 12 rowdy sheeters ever since lockdown was imposed to cap the spread of Corona Virus in the state.

For fear of the spread of the Corona virus, some of the inmates of the Parappana Agrahara prison in the city had apparently been granted bail. Following the government move, however, cases have been reported of the rowdy sheeters being attacked and murdered by people who had malice towards them.

As many as 12 rowdy sheeters have been murdered during the period of the Corona lockdown, most of whom were released on bail, said sources.

Keeping a watch

Bengaluru City Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao is said to have instructed the deputy commissioners of police to keep a watch over the movement of rowdy sheeters released on bail as well as other rowdies. The deputy commissioners have also been instructed to take precautionary measures to prevent attacks on the rowdies, the sources added.

Bengaluru: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast that the southwest monsoon will cause heavy rainfall likely this weekend and will drench Karnataka over the next 10 days.

The monsoon has begun retreating from northwestern India. Conditions remain active over the south, with an upper air trough extending up to 1.5 km over North Interior Karnataka and northern Tamil Nadu, combined with weakening monsoon winds across the peninsula, is driving the current spell. N. Puviarasan, head of the IMD’s meteorological centre in Bengaluru, said in a conversation with Deccan Herald, “As a result, the whole of Karnataka will see rain over the next week to 10 days."

With a cyclone in the Pacific Ocean along with a low-pressure system over the north Bay of Bengal, the monsoon is expected to intensify during the next four days. IMD has predicted heavy rains across South Interior Karnataka, including Bengaluru, throughout the weekend.


Bengaluru, recorded widespread moderate to heavy rainfall on Thursday. Between 8.30 am and 8.30 pm, Bengaluru city logged 45.9 mm of rain accompanied by thunderstorms. HAL airport registered 6 mm and the Bengaluru Urban automatic station recorded 47.5 mm. Doddathoguru, near Electronics City, reported 55 mm.

According to IMD forecast heavy rainfall will occur at isolated places in Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural, Yadgir, Koppal, Raichur, Ramanagara and Mandya districts in the next few days.

The southwest monsoon is now expected to extend until mid-October and with little or no break in between, the northeast monsoon is likely to follow immediately. These are expected to last until December. “There may be no break in between,” Puviarasan said.
