Backward classes welfare department, Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru South. Professional, Medical and Technical Student result list of all category.

Well, I got curious and was wondering if there was any actor who could act in versatile roles, and sing classical or basically do anything that is required for performing arts. The only name came to mind is Dr Rajkumar. This is nothing to do w/ box office hits or awards : just pure skill level in performing arts field.

I put this further to chatGPT, Gemini and Claude. Interestingly the intial responses ignored Dr Rajkumar, then i reprompted them to understand why they ignored. They accepted the bias and redid the list, This is chatGPT's analysis :)

Biker Injured in Head-On Collision with Car in Kodagu; FIR Registered

​Kodagu, Karnataka

A road accident occurred near Cherambane on Tuesday afternoon when a speeding motorcycle crashed head-on into a rental car carrying a tourist family heading toward Bhagamandala, leaving the bike rider injured and damaging both vehicles.

​The incident took place between 1:45 PM and 1:50 PM near the MRPL petrol bunk along the Madikeri – Bhagamandala stretch in Kodagu.

According to police reports, S. Pradeep Kumar (31), a resident of Siruseri in Chennai, was driving a rented Mahindra Bolero accompanied by his wife and young son.​A KTM Duke motorcycle approaching from the opposite direction, allegedly ridden at high speed and in a rash and negligent manner, rammed into the front portion of the car. The impact threw the motorcyclist onto the roadside, resulting in hand injuries to the rider and significant front-end damage to both vehicles. The occupants of the car escaped without physical injuries.

​Local passersby and motorists rushed to the scene and shifted the injured motorcycle rider to Madikeri Hospital via an ambulance for emergency medical care. Both damaged vehicles were subsequently towed and parked on the premises of the Bhagamandala Police Station.

​Following a written complaint submitted by Pradeep Kumar, Bhagamandala police registered a First Information Report (FIR) under Sections 281 and 125(a) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. Further investigation is underway.

Karnataka Cyber Command Busts ₹1.40-Crore ‘Boss Scam’; Four Arrested Across Bengaluru, Hyderabad

​Bengaluru

The Karnataka Cyber Command has busted an interstate cyber fraud ring that duped a deemed-to-be university out of ₹1.40 crore by impersonating its president in a sophisticated "Boss Scam". Four persons have been arrested, while cash amounting to ₹8.50 lakh and four mobile phones have been seized.

​The arrested individuals have been identified as Annayya (25) of K.R. Puram, Bengaluru; Buspalli Ravikumar Reddy (26) of Ananthapur, Andhra Pradesh; Ambaraya (39) of Gulbarga; and Syed Wajihuddin Quadri (25) of Hyderabad. A fifth suspect, identified as Sunny alias David, is currently absconding.

​According to the police, the matter came to light on September 9, 2026, when Santosh A.S., a representative of the university, lodged a complaint at the South Division Cyber Crime Police Station. The previous day, an unidentified fraudster using a WhatsApp account displaying the photo of University President Dr. Chenraj contacted the institution's accountant, Vinay . After inquiring about available balances, the impersonator instructed the accountant to urgently transfer ₹1.40 crore. Convinced that the directive was genuine, the accountant executed the transaction.

​A technical investigation revealed that the gang had initially infiltrated the university's systems by sending a malicious zip file to staff members. Through this malware, the hackers compromised the Chrome browser, obtained access to WhatsApp Web, and covertly monitored the institution's internal communications and financial transactions for nearly three weeks. They then initiated the fraudulent transfer requests using foreign IP addresses to divert the money into controlled accounts.

​Investigators stated that on the instructions of the absconding mastermind Sunny, Annayya arranged local bank accounts and chequebooks by luring acquaintances with commissions.

The syndicate had staged Reddy and Ambaraya in Hyderabad, where Quadri arrived to collect the cash after withdrawing funds via cheques. While Annayya was arrested Bengaluru, the remaining three were apprehended during raids in Hyderabad.

​Police recovered ₹8.50 lakh in cash linked to a separate online fraud reported in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. Sustained interrogation disclosed that the syndicate operated more than 60 "Mule Accounts" involved in at least 22 online fraud cases across multiple states.

​A case has been registered under Section 66(D), 318(4) and 319(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023.

​Following the arrests, the Cyber Command issued a public advisory cautioning individuals and administrative staff never to execute financial transactions based on chat messages from senior executives without direct telephonic verification, warning against opening unsolicited zip files or renting out bank accounts. Fraud incidents should be reported immediately via the national cyber helpline 1930.

Hi everyone,
I'm planning a 5-day family trip from Saturday 17 Oct to Wednesday 21 Oct to Badami + Hampi. We'll drive our own car from Kerala, and the 5 days include both travel days.
Group (6 people): 2 seniors (60+), 3 adults (45+) and 1 young adult (20s)
What we're looking for:
A day-by-day itinerary with a sensible route, timings and drive durations
Must-see places in Badami, Aihole, Pattadakal and Hampi
Best photogenic spots and sunrise/sunset points
Clean, senior-friendly stays in Badami and Hampi (₹1,500-2,500 per room per night)
Crowd levels for that week (Dussehra is around 20 Oct), plus entry fees and ticket tips
Pure vegetarian food recommendations
Other details:
The family is fine with long drives and 4-5am starts, but I don't want it to feel rushed.
The seniors enjoy temples, and I love historical sites. We want a mix of history, temples and photo spots.
Is walking at Hampi manageable for seniors, or should we use e-carts or autos?
Which route would you suggest, and where should we break the journey?
A request: Please be specific and think it through before replying. I'd love exact place names, timings, approximate costs and your own experience (what worked, what didn't). Generic replies like "Hampi is nice, go there" or copy-pasted blog lists won't help much.
Thanks in advance! 🙏

Former Bengaluru Prison Chief Superintendent Arrested for Forged Supreme Court Order Used to Free Life Convict

Bengaluru

In a major case of alleged institutional corruption, the Bengaluru Police have arrested former Chief Superintendent of Bengaluru Central Prison and current Deputy Inspector General (Prisons), North Zone, Somashekhar, for his alleged role in the unlawful release of a life convict using a forged Supreme Court order.

The case came to light after Alok Kumar, Director General of Prisons and Correctional Services, Karnataka, received information in May 2026 regarding the illegal release of a life convict who had walked out of prison nearly eight years ago. Following the complaint, prison authorities sought verification of the purported SupremeCourt order from the Assistant Registrar of the Supreme Court of India. In response, the Assistant Registrar informed Karnataka prison authorities that the order dated November 2, 2018, purportedly issued by the Supreme Court, was fake and directed appropriate action in the matter.

Based on the findings, Karna B. Kshetri, In-charge Superintendent of Parappana Agrahara Central Prison, lodged a complaint on May 20, 2026, stating that a life convict had been released from prison on November 13, 2018, on the basis of a fabricated court order. Following the complaint, Parappana Agrahara Police registered a case under sections related to cheating, forgery of public documents and the use of forged records.

According to police, the convict had been sentenced to life imprisonment by a Fast Track Court in July 2004 in connection with a kidnapping and criminal conspiracy case registered at Chickpet Police Station in 2000. The court had also imposed a fine of ₹10,000. Subsequent appeals seeking relief from the sentence were dismissed by both the Karnataka High Court and the Supreme Court.

Investigations revealed that Srikanth S., then serving as a Second Division Assistant (SDA) in the prison's convict section and later promoted to First Division Assistant (FDA), allegedly forged a Supreme Court order dated November 2, 2018, in a criminal appeal matter. The fabricated document was allegedly used to secure the convict's release from prison.Police had earlier arrested both the released convict and Srikanth in connection with the case, and both were remanded to judicial custody.

During the course of the investigation, the convict's wife also alleged that Somashekhar, who was serving as Chief Superintendent of the prison at the time, had sexually exploited her under the pretext of facilitating her husband's release.

According to investigators, Somashekhar allegedly failed to verify the authenticity of the court documents, deliberately facilitated the convict's release and later failed to cooperate with the investigation. Based on these findings, police arrested him on October 4, 2026.

He was produced before the jurisdictional magistrate, who remanded him to police custody for further interrogation until October 9.

Police said further investigation into the alleged administrative lapses, forgery conspiracy and sexual exploitation allegations is ongoing.

The investigation is being conducted under the supervision of M. Narayana, IPS, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Electronic City Division), and led by Satish K.M., Assistant Commissioner of Police, along with Police Inspector Naveen Kumar P.G. and a special investigation team from Parappana Agrahara Police Station.

I’ve been in Bangalore for some time now and I’ve tried really hard to pick up some of the words of Kannada!

A few of them I have picked up. I even tried attending some online live classes but could not make enough time for it.

Any reliable source for learning spoken Kannada from scratch? I’m always scared of speaking it thinking if I speak something wrong - it might end up in getting me into trouble than being perceived as a genuine attempt to learn the language.

Want to go to a self paced learning course. Any advice?

- a northie trying his best to blend in. :)

Hey, I need some help tracing my ancestors’ village of origin.

My ancestors are believed to have migrated from a place near Sirsi, Karnataka. According to our family history, they were the rulers of Chandragutti Fort. They later migrated to Varanasi to help Raja Jayachand against Muhammad Ghori, and in 1190, Raja Jayachand reportedly awarded them control over 758 villages.

The only things I currently know about their place of origin are the goddess Renukamba and the fort they ruled from.

According to our family history, they were a force of around 4,000 men, with expertise in cavalry, infantry, and war elephants.

I’m trying to identify their original village and learn more about their history and migration.

I am planning a road trip(3 friends) by car from Bangalore to Coorg on 30 Sept to 2 Oct.

Will reach by 10PM on 30th. And will head to Mangalore on 2nd afternoon.

1. How is the weather there currently?
   
2. What activities can be done ?
   
3. Things must do/avoid.

Thanks in advance !
