Voter ID case
‘BJP candidate conspires to fix Cong MLA’
Bengaluru, June 12: Two voters lodged a complaint against BJP candidate PM Muniraju Gowda in the Nandini Layout Police station alleging that the BJP leader has conspired to fix Congress MLA Munirathna in the voter ID storage case.
R Kumar (39) and C Anand (49) have lodged complaints separately saying that Muniraju Gowda had collected thousands of voter IDs from the voters. Those voters IDs were found in the Jalahalli SLV Park View apartment. Muniraju Gowda had threatened them to admit that the followers of Munirathna had collected the voter IDs, they alleged.
Muniraju Gowda had conducted Rangoli competition at Laggere and in the name of distributing prizes, he had distributed gold and silver ornaments and cash. In order to make sure that all the participants are from his constituency, he had collected more than thousand voter IDs, Kumar said in his complaint.
Muniraju Gowda had said that he would contest the election from the BJP and asked votes for him. In return, he promised of giving valuable gifts and returning of their voter ID cards on the day of voting near the polling station. When he opposed this, Gowda had threatened him, Kumar said.
“When the voter IDs were found in the apartment, Muniraju Gowda contacted us and asked us to mislead the police saying that the followers of Munirathna have collected the ID cards. Even he threatened us of dire consequences if we spilled the beans. So, we were silent”, Kumar said.
When people came to know that Muniraju Gowda had misused the voter IDs, they had been to the police station to give a complaint against the BJP leader. But the police declined to take the complaint, he said in his complaint.

Police ignored crucial footage in deadly Gurugram road accident case, claims victim’s friend: Report
New Delhi: A tragic road accident in Gurugram earlier this week claimed the life of young biker Akshat Garg after his motorcycle was struck by an SUV travelling on the wrong side of the road. Pradyuman Kumar, the victim’s friend, claimed that the police allegedly overlooked the critical evidence recorded on Pradyuman’s GoPro camera.
The incident occurred on September 15, 2024, on Golf Course Road, where Akshat was hit by Kuldeep Thakur, who was reportedly driving recklessly. Despite emergency services arriving soon, Akshat succumbed to his injuries.
"The police saw the recording, but they didn’t take it as evidence that day," Pradyuman told India Today. It wasn’t until three days later, after the accused Kuldeep Thakur had already been released on bail, that the police reached out to Pradyuman for the footage. He expressed deep frustration over what he perceives as negligence on the part of law enforcement in collecting vital evidence promptly.
Additionally, the publication reported that the accused has a history of traffic violations and that Thakur’s vehicle displayed a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) sticker. The quick release of Thakur on bail has drawn criticism, particularly since the incident fell on a Sunday and Monday was a public holiday. Thakur is reportedly a co-owner of a company running social media campaigns for politicians.
Further investigation into the incident is underway.
