Bengaluru: Minister of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj of Karnataka, KS Eshwarappa on Wednesday took a swipe at the opposition leaders stating that those who dare to mess with him, get diagnosed with Blood Pressure and Diabetic issues.

Speaking to media reporters on Wednesday the minister also replied to Congress leader BK Hariprasad’s comments on him where he had said Eshwarappa belonged to Nagpur University, taking a jibe at his RSS roots.

“Hariprasad said I belong to Nagpur University. Yes, that is why I have good manners and culture. People of Shivmoga elected me for five terms. People from ‘Italy University’ who say public toilets should be named after PM Modi, what culture and manners do they have?” he questioned.

Speaking about the abusive words that he used against Congress leaders in the state, Eshwarappa said he was anguished because the Congress leaders were speaking ill about PM Modi and as a reaction he abused them.

On being asked if Congress leaders were playing dirty politics, he said “Do I have to say it? Is that even a question? I don’t have BP or diabetic issues but whoever messes with me, gets it” he said.

New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has arrested a man and his son for allegedly murdering his 19-year-old daughter in west Delhi's Hari Nagar area, an official said on Friday.

The case first came to light on April 1 after a PCR call was received around 2 pm, alleging that a woman had been killed by her family members and her body was being taken for last rites, he said.

The accused, identified as Mohammad Maneer (55), a vegetable vendor, and his son Meraj Ali (19), were arrested in connection with the case, the officer said.

The victim had been in a relationship with a man from her native place for the past two years, which was opposed by her father, Maneer and brother Meraj, he said.

"When the girl did not end the relationship despite objections, the family killed her," the officer said.

On April 1, the police said that when their team reached the spot, they found that the woman's body was being taken for burial.

Acting on the input, the burial process was stopped over suspicion of honour killing.

"Police intercepted the family members and took possession of the body," he said.

Police said that the man who had made the PCR told them that the woman was in love with his cousin.

During the inquiry, police also interacted with the PCR caller, who said his cousin, a friend of the deceased, had informed him about the situation and suspected foul play, prompting him to alert the police control room.

The body of the woman was subsequently shifted to the mortuary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for preservation and postmortem.

Police said that both the crime team and the forensic science laboratory (FSL) team were called to inspect the scene and collect evidence.

Police said that, as per the postmortem report, the cause of death was identified as smothering, indicating that the woman was suffocated.

A preliminary inquiry also revealed that the family had initiated preparations for the last rites soon after the woman's death, raising suspicion about the circumstances.

Initial investigation pointed to the family's opposition to the woman's relationship.

"The family members of the woman saw her with the man, and she was taken back home. We got to know that she was beaten up and even locked inside the house for some days," a source said.

Further investigation into the matter is underway, police added.
