CCTV cameras helped cops to detect the clueless sensational double murder”.

A clueless sensational double murder case solved by Whitefield Division police of Mahadevapura police and have arrested two persons and recovered stolen property from them. 
Sensational double murder case of a elderly couple solved by Mahadevapura police by arresting two accused a husband and wife and recovered stolen 305 grams gold ornaments and cash from them. 
The accused has been identified as Venkatesh CH,30 years,and Smt.Arpita Venkatesh,21 years.Both live in a rented house in Amruthahalli.
On 17th October an elderly couple were found murdered in Mahadevapura Police Station limits.
The deceased Chandregowda,aged 63 years (retired Pvt.Company employee) and his wife Smt.Lakshmamma,aged 55 years were found murdered in their home located in RHB Colony, Garudacharpalya.by unknown miscreants and their house was also found to be ransacked.
Sensing a sensitive case four teams were formed under DCP Whitefield. 
The murder case was detected with the help of technical investigation skills and with the CCTV footage in the area as there was no CCTV cameras installed in the elderly couple house and surroundings but a major breakthrough was CCTV footage in the area which captured the movements of these duo.
Under Section 27 of evidence act we have arrested them and we took them to the scene of crime also. 
Senior officer told the accused were married in 2016 and have a 1.5-year-old child. Venkatesh works as an Ola cab driver.Venkatesh had several loans amounting to Rs 10 lakhs, and decided to pay back the loans by committing murder for gain.Smt. Lakshmamma is a distant relative of Venkatesh.He had met them in a marriage function in Mysuru about a month back.After seeing the jewels worn by her,he and his wife decided to target this elderly couple.They also visited the house twice to build up a rapport and gain their confidence.On 16th October,Venkatesh and his wife went to the house of deceased,and these both accused brutally assaulted them on their head with a spanner and murdered them.They then searched the house for valuables,and decamped with gold jewels, silver articles and cash.The gold articles were then sold at Shri Dhanlaxmi Jewellers,Malleshwaram for which they obtained Rs.8.6 lakhs cash after obtaining the cash they visited to Dharmasthala and stayed their for two days and then they were hiding at their friend Gautham’s house in a village in Dakshina Kannada district and based on the investigation clues they were nabbed on 26th October at his house and During the course of investigation he has confessed the crime and said to repay the loan of ten lakhs these both used to identify elderly couples who are all alone and has no child and after getting information about them they used to target them by taking them in their confidence and then they used to assault them with spanner and decamp with their valuables and a detailed investigation by the team the accused Venkatesh revealed that he had committed a similar offence in Rayasamudra Village, in KR Pete Taluka, Mandya District in July 2019.Further enquiry has revealed that an elderly couple; Gundegowda,aged about 55 years and his wife Smt.Lalitamma, aged about 50 years were murdered in a similar fashion by Venkatesh on the night of 12th July 2019. Smt.Lalitamma was a relative of Venkatesh (she is the elder sister of his brother in law).After murdering them he ransacked the house and made away with 60 grams of gold jewels and cash of Rs. 2000.Then the gold was sold by his wife Arpita at Shri Dhanlaxmi Jewellers in Malleshwaram for which they obtained Rs1.8 lakhs cash and thereafter they repaid some of the loans.During the course of investigation 305 grams of gold ornaments and Rs.5,04,300 cash has been seized. Further investigation is continued and it is shocking that in the double murder case of elderly couple one alleged accused is in jail by name Yogesh who is a neighbour of Venkatesh in KR Pet only just for a small quarrel between them and to take revenge from his neighbours they both fixed him falsely in the double murder case and the cops have also arrested him based on his statement instead of doing investigation in all angles they have fixed a person who is still in jail and a detailed investigation will be done in this case also as why he was not booked by the concerned officer in the crime of Mandya KR Pet Police station he added.
Their Modus Operandi is they used to visit to marriage and other functions and his wife used to collect details about elderly persons in their family and after knowing that the elderly couple is all alone with no children then they used to target them and visit their house oftenly to build their rapport with them as they are caring to them and are concerned about them in the same way they collected details about lakshmamma and Chandregowda and to repay his loan of Rs.10 lakhs he has murdered these elderly couples as being all alone what they will do with this much of property.

which many have helped the accused by giving their vehicle to commit offence and many even gave them shelter and other things after the crime incident those will be booked and I have instructed the DCP Whitefield to book Goutham also who has given shelter to those accused.And after the Diwali function we will map all senior citizens staying across city and we will install or fix one beat book at their house so men in khaki will visit their regularly and sign the book and I appeal to all the citizens to install CCTV cameras in your house and apartments as in this case there was no CCTV cameras

in abroad working and they will be alone so their safety is our responsibility so we will be fixing beat book in their house in all the Divisions and in many cases we are not booking there relatives or associates after the crime by giving shelter as they are also involved in crime we will bring them also in the purview and in some places they are destroying evidence as recently in the Amritha bai

October 23, 2019 by Nasheman

Last fiscal year, the plant had filled over 216 lakh cylinders, and this year, the number is expected to exceed to 250 lakh cylinders.

BENGALURU: With many people migrating from other parts to the state for better employment opportunities and for other reasons, the Indian Oil (Karnataka) has seen a higher demand in the sale of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders by 7-10%  in the present year.

People have started migrating, and we are seeing an increase in demand. This year, we had a 97% coverage, with 7-10% higher demand for gas cylinders. This apart, even those using induction cookers, have now started opting for gas cylinders,” said N Konar, general manager of the plant.

To meet the growing needs, this year, 48-point cylinder filling carousels were commissioned to the plant, double the size of the conventional 24-point carousels.During 2019-20, IOC released new connections to the tune of Rs 2.38 lakh, of which 1.47 lakh connections are under the Ujjwala Scheme, which is the highest for the industry.

Devangonthi terminal goes smart
The Devanagonthi terminal of the IOC, which supplies 30% of the petroleum demands of Karnataka, is now called a ‘smart terminal’, with automation taking over the fuel filling process to ensure safety and convenience. This ensures quality control, interlocked safety systems, productivity, transparency and customer satisfaction.

Was planning to quit for some time, says Ramamurthy

October 17, 2019 by Nasheman

IN wIn one more body blow to the Congress, parliamentarian KC Ramamurthy resigned from the party to join the BJP.

BENGALURU: In wIn one more body blow to the Congress, parliamentarian KC Ramamurthy resigned from the party to join the BJP. The Rajya Sabha MP will have to seek fresh re-election on a BJP ticket after joining the party. After Sanjay Singh and B Kalita, Ramamurthy is the third Rajya Sabha MP to quit the Congress. His resignation was accepted by Rajya Sabha chairman M Venkaiah Naidu. Ramamurthy told TNIE, “I will join the BJP on Thursday or Friday. I had been considering it for some time.’’

The former IPS officer turned MP has 2 years 8 months left of his 6-year Rajya Sabha tenure, and was elected with the help of Congress and ‘rebel’ JDS votes in 2015. Congress leader VS Ugrappa said, “BJP is continuing with Operation Kamala (Lotus) to poach Congress leaders. We have information that they threatened Congress leaders like Ramamurthy with raids.” Ramamurthy’s resignation brings down the number of Karnakata Congress Rajya Sabha MPs from eight to seven.

The other MPs are Jairam Ramesh, Rajeev Gowda, L Hanumanthaiah, GC Chandrashekar, Dr Nasir Hussain, BK Hariprasad and Oscar Fernandes. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is a Rajya Sabha MP from Karnataka BJP, the other two being Prabhakar Kore and R Chandrashekar. The total number of Rajya Sabha MPs from Karnataka is 12, with one JDS MP, Kupendra Reddy. The resignation is likely to hit the party, which is yet to recover from its MLAs quitting and bringing down the government. For the Congress, which is trying to shore up morale to fight the bypolls, the resignation could not have come at a worse time.

Captured killer tiger loses freedom, to spend life at rescue centre

October 15, 2019 by Nasheman

Rules mandate, as does past experience, state that if a carnivore has killed a human being, it needs to be captured or killed.

BENGALURU: The killer tiger, which had kept forest officials on their toes for five days before it was captured near Gopalaswamy Betta Range of Bandipur Tiger Reserve on Sunday, will never roam free again. According to the Forest Department, the five-year-old male, weighing around 170 kg, will remain at Kooragahalli Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre, 15km from Mysuru, for the rest of its life.

The animal was counted in the last tiger census in Nagarahole Tiger Reserve. Camera trap analysis revealed that it had travelled from Nagarahole (Antharsanthe) to Molleholle to Kundakere in Bandipur, and then to GS Betta Range, before being captured.

“Since it is a healthy male and has no injuries, we want to release the big cat back in the forest. But there is pressure from people not to do so. Besides, no risk can be taken again as it has killed two humans, though it was because of fear and hunger. Around five years ago, when a tiger captured in Chikkamagaluru was released in Dandeli, it had died. This earned the department a lot of flak, we don’t want that,” a senior official told TNIE.

Some forest officials have recommended a few places where the animal can be released as an experiment, like Bannerghatta National Park or BR Hills or Bhadra Reserve, where the tiger population is low and pressure from humans on the forests is also less.

Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) Sanjai Mohan said he was aware of the pressure from both quarters (to keep the animal in custody and to release it). He is also aware of the social media campaigns for and against the department. But for the safety of the animal and people, it has been decided that the animal stays in the rescue centre, he said.

Rules mandate, as does past experience, state that if a carnivore has killed a human being, it needs to be captured or killed. Had it not killed any humans, it could have been relocated.

The tiger’s new enclosure has around an acre of space where a near-to-nature environment has been created for the animal. At present, the tiger is finding it tough to adjust to the new environment. It keeps growling and is cautious even of its own shadow. It is very alert, said an officer from Mysuru.

Balachandra T, Director, Bandipur Tiger Reserve, said there was no need for DNA tests as the animal was captured after thorough verification of photographs and camera trap images. He added that for DNA analysis, there should be a sample base for verification. But that is not available with the department. Only faecal matter analysis could be done, but that too when the tiger was captured just two days after it had killed the humans. This report could have been matched with the humans’ DNA for verification, but that is out, he said.

The National Centre for Biological Sciences is preparing a DNA database for captured and seized tigers and items for analysis. Samples from the wild will also be collected and stored.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE
The whole exercise of capturing the tiger was a learning experience for the department. PCCF Sanjai Mohan said they have realised the need for infrared cameras and completely stop the use of flash cameras. The department has one night-vision camera and more will be procured in the coming days. Thermal cameras are also on the cards. The department has also written to the government to deploy more veterinarians. At present there are just five, but at least 10 are required, Mohan said.

BENGALURU: Defence production and upgradation work is set to be hit as workers of the country’s aerospace and defence production company Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) are to launch an indefinite strike starting October 14 across the country.

This, despite talks between the All India HAL Trade Unions Coordination Committee (AIHALTUCC) — which has called for the strike — and the management of the defence public sector undertaking.

The workers have demanded the settlement of wage revision effective January 1, 2017, asking for a pay parity with officers.

However, HAL union general secretary Suryadev Chandrashekar on Sunday told TNIE that discussions held with the management till Sunday did not reach any fruition.

All nine units of the industry in seven states will strike work indefinitely starting Monday, he said.

A meeting between officials and representatives of the recognised unions was held on October 12 and 13, HAL said in a communique to the media, as a solution to employees’ problems, while keeping in mind the interest of the organisation.

As a measure to address some of the issues, the management offered to enhance allowances under the Cafeteria system to 22% for workmen in Scale 1 to 10; and 20% for workmen in Special Scale as against uniform rate of 19% offered earlier.

It also assured that all the workmen would stand benefited in terms of allowances on account of introduction of the Cafeteria system.

The management also offered a revised rate of fitment benefit at 11%, the officials added. The wage negotiation committee also apprised the unions of the ill-effects of resorting to any strike or agitation which would jeopardize the interest of the employees or organization, and the nation at large.

It rued that the employees resorted to the “recalcitrant approach” despite the management’s appeals and efforts towards an amicable wage settlement.

Journos protest against Media Gag order by Karnataka Assembly Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri

October 14, 2019 by Nasheman

Pramesh Jain


Journalists from various Kannada news channels and national media staged a silent protest in Bengaluru on Thursday against the Karnataka assembly Speaker,Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri‘s decision to impose media restrictions within the assembly proceedings.
Editors and Senior Journalists,from various different regional news channels and national media representatives on Friday October 11th staged a silent protest after the karnataka assembly Speaker called for a ban on live telecast from the Assembly House. 
A photo journalist wore a black eye band condemning Karnataka Speaker’s order against media. 

News channels have been broadcasting proceedings of the Karnataka Assembly and the Vidhana Parishad since 1994.
Though the journalists approached the Speaker to lift the ban,Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri stood his ground,reiterating that restrictions were imposed as per rules.
Journalists were miffed after Kageri left the chamber without listening to their grievances.
Reacting to this,Press Club of Bengaluru with other media houses and journalists called for a protest at Bengaluru’s Anand Rao Circle. 
More than 100 Video and Photo journalists with represntatives from Regional and National Channel took part in the silent protest at Maurya Circle against the Media Gag order by Karnataka Assembly speaker for the ongoing session of 3 days he banned which miffed the representative of all private channels. 
The protest was organised by Press Club of Bengaluru President,Sadashiva Shenoy,with H.V Kiran and Anand P. Baidanamane.
Security was placed at the protest spot DCP,Central,Chethan Singh Rathore with ACP,T Basheer Ahmed with PI,Sanjeev Gowda with other officers and staff were present at the Maurya Circle. 
Former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy joined the protest and slammed the speaker’s move banning private channels live telecasting the Assembly Session,he said no one should restrict the fourth pillar of democracy in covering the live telecast of Assembly session as they are the who passes the ongoing sessions developments to public and said today he will raise the issue in the house of the Assembly demanding Speaker should immediately lift the ban and allow private channel to cover the live assembly session he added.He even slammed the current BS Yediyurappa-led government over the ban, which disallows national and regional private TV channels from covering the proceedings of Karnataka Assembly live.They are trying to gag the media and the fourth pillar of democracy is being stopped in its work.I condemn this and reject such a move by the speaker, he said after meeting the journalists who are staging a protest against the gag.HDK even said that there had been a proposal from the state Home ministry during his time in office.He had,however refused the proposal.The media must not stop us while are walking the corridors of Vidhana Soudha,but we must make facilities instead for them to ask questions,he told reporters.
Siddaramaiah Former Chief Minister,leader of opposition condemned the move of BJP government and Speaker by tweeting he said,The decision of the Speaker, to disallow journalists from taking the video & photographs of the session, shall be condemned.In case speaker feels that journalists are misusing the liberty, the rules of the house should be modified and not bring in a complete ban.Is blocking journalists an attempt to protect @BJP4Karnataka’s blue boys from being caught again?In that case, is it not the party’s duty to teach blue boys a lesson?But, in @BJP4Karnataka, they reward such anti-social elements with ministerial berth, even if they lose.Wah!The latest media blockade by speaker seems to be in the direction to mute the opinions of Opposition.Live relay of Assembly by @DDChandanaNews was partial towards ruling party members. Most of the times, when opposition speaks, the camera is not focused on the one who speaks he tweeted.
Sowmya Reddy R Jayanagar MLA tweeted, against the Media ban by Assembly speaker she said,What’s the responsibility of a healthy opposition ? Isn’t that our job to speak up for the people of our state! To ensure we ensure the government is doing its job properly! If our voices inside the assembly can’t be heard outside to people then isn’t this death of democracy!!!As a 1st time MLA I want to talk and discuss about pressing issues regarding the our city, my constituency (Jayanagar) many issues & including the worst hit floods & how Karnataka government has handled past 60 days. shocked with the events that have unfolded past 2 days.Outside tv media has been banned since today at the assembly! Today when we (opposition) spoke against Govt’s failure to handle flood relief, there was no focus on us but guess who? Yes, only the speaker or the CM or anyone from the ruling party. That’s why the media gag! She tweeted. 
BS Yediyurappa tweeted from his official twitter account on Thursday had said that he would appeal Karnataka Assembly speaker Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri to recall the ban, which was issued ahead of the three-day winter session of the Assembly he tweeted after few hours the tweet was deleted Sources with the BJP told reporters,that the tweet was deleted because Yediyurappa’s statement could have given the media the impression of infighting within the BJP.His statement was against party dictates so the tweet was taken down,” the source added.
Deepa Balakrishnan,Senior Journalist of CNN News18,tweeted, Press Club of Bangalore is leading a protest today against #Karnataka #Speaker #Kageri ‘s unilateral order to keep Pvt channel video- and photo-graphers away from covering Assembly proceedings; top editors and journos are here this morning at the Gandhi statue.Today @Vijaykarnataka has a black, blank space spanning two columns where ‘pictures’ of the #Assembly session should have been.. protesting the unilateral ban on photography and videography inside Assembly #mediagagged #freedomofpress,And a photographer Pandarinath @XpressBengaluru sits blind-folded in the backdrop of the Gandhi statue to protest the ban of videographers and photographers from #Karnataka #Assembly coverage she tweeted. 
HR Ranganath Public TV Managing Editor said,We cannot be fools to believe that the decision will be reversed because of the opposition against it.The question is not about whether the Chief Minister or the Speaker has taken the decision.We need to understand about where this idea that the Vidhana Soudha and the Assembly is a place where politicians can take unilateral decisions is coming from,He even said that politicians are eager to ensure that the news that portrays them or their party in good light should only be published. “This eagerness is increasing every day and politicians want to present a packaged news bulletin to journalists. This must be resisted not only today but also going HR Ranganath, Managing Editor of Public TV, a Kannada news channel, said at the protest. 
Hariprakash Konemane, Editor of Vijay Karnataka,a Kannada language daily newspaper, stated that this decision will be used as a precedent to take unilateral decisions. “In the first stage, TV cameras are banned from Assembly. This will be used as a precedent in the future. We have taken a stand against this in today’s edition of Vijay Karnataka in which we have published a blank picture instead of a photograph on our story on this issue,”he said.
Ranganath Bharadwaj,Chief Producer of TV9 Kannada,said,Those who are afraid of us and have something to hide take such steps we tell the world what you do during assembly session.Who eats tobacco,who lazes around and who uses their phone that’s why you are afraid of us the government is not doing the media a favor by letting us inside Vidhana Soudha it’s our duty to tell the people what their representatives are doing he added.
Another senior journalist said,This is something that people and the government need to pay attention to the media also has to instil some fear into the government the real issues are highlighted he added.
HD Deve Gowda, Janata Dal (Secular) National President: This kind of attitude of the present govt shows that it is intentionally snatching the freedom of media going on for decades. We hope & trust that this govt will reconsider its decision he added.
Senior Journalist,Ms.Shantala said,They are trying to suppress the Freedom of press it is against the interests of the people she said.
It is alleged that Several opposition leaders were also in agreement with the proposal, sources claimed.Informally, several JD(S) leaders,especially HD Kumaraswamy had supported this.When leaders are sleeping or doing something else, that gets captured.A few Congress leaders too wanted the ban to be imposed,” the source added. 
In 2012, a camera man of Private channel had captured footage of the then Karnataka MLA Laxman Sangappa Savadi watching porn on his phone inside the Assembly. Following the uproar, Laxman Savadi was forced to resign. In February 2012, the then Speaker, KG Bopaiah had banned private television channels from recording and broadcasting live proceedings of the House until a committee set up to probe Savadi’s behaviour submitted its report. The ban was later lifted.
In 2014, after the Congress came to power, the then Speaker Kagodu Thimmappa had told the media that the government was mulling a proposal to ban television cameras from broadcasting live the Assembly proceedings. However, this proposal had then fallen through.
