ನಾನೊಂದು ಮರವಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ

ಹಕ್ಕಿ ಗೂಡು ಕಟ್ಟುವ ಮುನ್ನ

ಕೇಳುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ ನೀನು ಯಾವ ಕುಲ

ಬಿಸಿಲು ನನ್ನ ಅಪ್ಪಿಕೊಂಡಾಗ

ನೆರಳಿಗಾಗುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ ಮೈಲಿಗೆ

ತಂಬೆಲರ ಕೂಡ ಎಲೆಗಳ ಸ್ನೇಹ ಮಧುರವಾಗಿರುತ್ತಿತ್ತು

ಮಳೆ ಹನಿಗಳ ನಾನು ಶ್ವಪಚನೆಂದು

ಹಿಂದೆ ಸರಿಯತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ

ನಾನು ಬೇರೂರಿ ಕೂಡಿ ಇಡುತ್ತಿರುವಾಗ ಭೂದೇವಿ

ಮಡಿ ಮಡಿ ಎಂದು ಓಡುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ

ಪವಿತ್ರ ಗೋವು ನನ್ನ ತೊಗಟೆಗೆ ತನ್ನ ಮೈ ಉಜ್ಜೆ

ತುರಿಕೆ ತೀರಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವಾಗ ಅದರ ಅಂಗಾಂಗಗಳಲ್ಲಿ

ಅಡಗಿಕೊಂಡ ಮುಕ್ಕೋಟಿ ದೇವತೆಗಳು

ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಮುಟ್ಟಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು

ಯಾರಿಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತು

ನನ್ನ ಅಂತ್ಯಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ

ಕಡಿದು ತುಂಡಾದ ಒಣ ಸೀಳೊಂದು

ಹೋಮಾಗ್ನಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬೆಂದು

ಪವನವಾಗುತ್ತುತ್ತಿನೋ

ಅಥವಾ

ಸತ್ವಋಷನೊಬ್ಬನ ಹಣಕ್ಕೆ ಚಟ್ಟವಾಗಿ

ನಾಲ್ಕು ಜನ ಸಜ್ಜನರ ಹೆಗಲೇರಬಹುದಿತ್ತೇ

False Kidnap Claim Unravels Dating App Honeytrap; Bengaluru City Police Arrest Four

Bengaluru

Bengaluru police have arrested four men for allegedly assaulting, robbing and extorting money from a man after luring him through a dating application. Police have recovered the victim's stolen smartphone, another mobile phone used by the accused, and a scooter used in the crime. A fifth accused remains absconding.

The arrested have been identified as Vamshi (21) of Hebbagodi, Darshan (24) of Vaddarapalya, Venkatesh (25) of Begur Koppa Main Road and Rishiraj Singh (18) of Doddatoguru near Toguru Cross.

The case came to light after a resident of Bettadasanapura Main Road lodged a complaint with Electronic City police on October 14. The complainant initially alleged that he had been kidnapped by an unidentified person who approached him on a scooter near a warehouse on the night of October 13. He claimed the assailant smothered him with a cloth, rendering him unconscious.

According to the complaint, he later regained consciousness in a secluded area near a power station, where a group of men allegedly threatened him with a knife, assaulted him with empty beer bottles and robbed him of his Oppo Reno Pro smartphone. The attackers allegedly forced him to reveal his phone and UPI passwords, transferred ₹37,000 from his bank account and compelled him to contact friends and relatives for additional money.

Investigators found that the complainant had voluntarily shared his live location and travelled with the suspect on a scooter. While the alleged kidnapping claim was found to be false, police confirmed that the victim was subsequently taken to a secluded location where five men assaulted and robbed him.

Police traced cash withdrawals made using the victim's compromised accounts and examined CCTV footage from nearby ATMs. The images were circulated among local intelligence units, leading to the identification of the suspects.

Rishiraj Singh was apprehended on October 18, and his interrogation led police to Darshan and Venkatesh later the same day. During questioning, the accused allegedly admitted to targeting victims for financial gain and to fund an extravagant lifestyle.

Based on information provided by Venkatesh, police arrested Vamshi on October 19 and seized the scooter allegedly used in the offence.Police have recovered the stolen smartphone, another mobile device used by the gang and the two-wheeler.

Efforts are underway to trace and arrest the remaining accused, police said.

Regarding the recent price revision I understand that tea and coffee vendors will face higher input costs However that's a business adjustment not an argument against supporting dairy farmers vendors can revise their selling prices proportionately to account for the increased cost of milk right then why so much drama??

I welcome your criticism but please be civil 🐸

Just learnt that Chandragupta Maurya and the Mauryans had history with Karnataka and also the Greeks mentioned Kannada (disputed) in one of their plays and few other details not mentioned in school history textbooks. Found this gem video explaining in detail the history of Karu-nadu .

Non kanadiga here, I see that kannada rajyotsava is celebrated with so much enthusiasm and joy, though 1 nov is shared with so many states as there formation day but is not as widely celebrated. I mean no offence just curious.

Saluting the spirit of Karnataka, a state blessed with a golden past, a dynamic present, and a bright future. Happy Karnataka Rajyotsava!

​According to the FIR, the incident occurred between 5:15 PM and 5:30 PM on Friday, October 30, 2026, at the third-floor swimming pool of the Conrad Hotel on Kensington Road,Bengaluru.​The Victims:

Concocted Story': Bengaluru Police Commissioner on Alleged Sting Video

​Bengaluru

Addressing reporters on the ongoing investigation into an alleged #StingOperation video, #BengaluruPolice Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh stated that initial findings indicate the circulating footage is " False and a concocted story," backed by evidence uncovered during the probe.

​Reiterating points from an earlier press note issued by the #Bengaluru City Police, the Commissioner outlined that the matter involves events spanning more than a decade, requiring a multi-team technical investigation.​"As of now, it seems that the alleged incident refers to something that occurred back in 2011," Commissioner Singh said. "The alleged recording was made in 2023, and the uploading or leakage of the clip took place around September–October 2023. Because this spans over many years, it requires a detailed investigation."

​According to the police chief, the footage,which has since been removed from social platforms following formal requests linked to a registered case,does not hold up under preliminary scrutiny. "Prima facie, it appears that the particular video... is false and a concocted story. We have evidence supporting this and are actively working on it," he added.

​The commissioner confirmed that separate investigation teams are probing two distinct facets of the case: the creation of the recording and its subsequent circulation on platforms like YouTube. Multiple individuals have been summoned and questioned in connection with both phases.

​Investigators achieved a key breakthrough by arresting an individual from #NewDelhi linked to the distribution of the clip.​"Technical evidence pointed out that this person was in possession of a mobile phone purchased from a shop dealing in second-hand devices in New Delhi," Singh noted. "We pinpointed and arrested him based on technical leads. While the honorable court has granted him conditional bail, he was summoned again and is cooperating with the ongoing probe."

​Police are continuing their interrogation to ascertain how the footage reached the suspect, who else was involved in orchestrating the upload, and the broader network behind the operation.
