Funds Flow to Extremism‑Hit Areas Under Lens,ED Complaint Leads to FIR Against US‑Linked Network Bengaluru Bengaluru Police have registered a case under BNS Sections 318(4), 335(A)(ii), 336(3), 238, 61(2), 190 and Sections 13, 17, 18 of the UAPA, following a complaint filed by the Assistant Director of the #EnforcementDirectorate (ED), New Delhi. The FIR names seven accused, including #Bengaluru residents Jonathan S Rajan, Micah Mark and Ajit Verghese Mathai, along with associates from #Chhattisgarh, #Assam, #Mysuru, and the #US‑based entity The Timothy Initiative (TTI). According to the FIR, searches conducted in April 2026 under the Income Tax Act and FEMA revealed that the accused colluded with TTI to channel foreign funds into India. Investigators allege that over ₹92.55 crore was withdrawn between November 2025 and April 2026 using more than 1,000 debit cards issued by #TruistBank, #USA, under the alias Santosh Kumar.Micah Mark was detained at Kempegowda International Airport with 24 such cards. Evidence suggests systematic withdrawals across Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, and Assam, including ₹3.2 crore from a single ATM in Dhamtari, allegedly supervised by field worker Varghese Chacko. The ED states that large cash withdrawals were concentrated in Left Wing Extremism‑affected areas, raising concerns of funds being diverted to unlawful activities. The FIR further notes that cloud data linked to TTI was deleted remotely to destroy evidence, while seized cash and documents point to an organized network operating through shell entities such as Lead & Cross LLC. Investigators allege that TTI spent over ₹95 crore in India on activities including training, preaching and recruitment, which the ED claims amount to unlawful operations threatening national security. @dir_ed @DcpEastBcp @BlrCityPolice

HAL Files FIR Against Hyderabad Vendor Over Forged Test Reports in LCA Project Bengaluru Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (#HAL) has lodged a complaint against a #Hyderabad-based aerospace vendor for allegedly fabricating nearly 200 quality test reports linked to the Light Combat Aircraft (#LCA) Mk‑1A project. An FIR was registered at the H.A.L. Police Station naming the CEO of M/s. Tech Aero Devices as the accused. The complaint was filed by Ranu Gupta, Deputy General Manager at HAL’s Aircraft Division, highlighting serious discrepancies in a critical supply chain contract. HAL had issued 18 purchase orders to Tech Aero Devices beginning March 2022, authorizing the manufacture of 172 items across 35 categories. As per protocol, the vendor was required to submit original test reports covering tensile strength, hardness and non‑destructive testing (NDT).Instead, the firm submitted 199 reports that later proved fraudulent. When HAL demanded originals, the vendor failed to produce them and eventually admitted in a letter dated November 22, 2023, that the reports were falsely issued under the name of M/s. Axis Inspection Solutions. A joint audit conducted by HAL and Axis Inspection Solutions on November 29, 2023, revealed that none of the 199 reports had been issued by the agency. Investigators found that Tech Aero Devices had systematically forged the documents between February and September 2023, misusing the auditing firm’s name and signatures. The vendor was debarred from all business dealings for three years, until March 2027 and removed from the approved suppliers list. The PSU confirmed that no payments were made for the disputed supplies.After internal deliberations, HAL escalated the matter to law enforcement. Police have booked the case under Sections 420, 465 and 468 of the Indian Penal Code. @HALHQBLR @halairportps @dcpwhitefield

No ID, No Party: Karnataka’s New Rule Against Underage Drinking Bengaluru In a sweeping move to curb underage drinking, the #Karnataka State Police Department has announced a strict “No ID, No Entry” policy across pubs, bars, breweries and clubs. The directive, issued by Director General and Inspector General of Police Dr. M.A. Saleem, comes amid growing concern over rising alcohol and tobacco use among adolescents in the state. Recent studies by leading educational and medical institutions in #Bengaluru revealed that one in three #adolescents is at risk of health complications linked to substance use. Alarmingly, the average age of first-time #alcohol consumption has dropped to 17, with cases of addiction reported among children as young as eight. Home Minister Priyank Kharge has ordered a zero-tolerance approach, stressing the need to protect the younger generation from early exposure to addictive substances. The new rules mandate that establishments verify government-issued identification, including Aadhaar, Voter ID, Passport, Driving License or PAN Card,before allowing entry or serving alcohol.The directive also reiterates Rule 10 of the Karnataka Excise Licenses Rules, 1967, which prohibits the sale of alcohol to anyone under 21 years of age. To strengthen enforcement, venues must maintain functional CCTV cameras at entry points and preserve footage for at least one month to assist in investigations. Establishments found serving minors risk immediate suspension or cancellation of their liquor licenses, heavy fines and criminal prosecution of owners, managers, and event organizers. Police units across the state have been instructed to issue notices to all liquor-serving venues and intensify surveillance.The crackdown will also involve coordination with schools, parents and Resident Welfare Associations to monitor compliance. Each police unit has been given a seven-day deadline to submit reports detailing enforcement measures and violations recorded under the Excise Licenses Rules. @PriyankKharge @DgpKarnataka @KarnatakaCops

Cloth Merchant Murders Family, Dies by Suicide Over Debt Mandya, Karnataka A cloth merchant in #Mandya allegedly strangled his wife and son before taking his own life at his shop early Tuesday morning, in what police describe as a case of financial despair. The deceased have been identified as Prabhakar, his wife Jyothi and their son Santosh, who had married just weeks ago on April 26. Investigators believe the murders occurred between 5:45 am and 6:00 am. After strangling his wife and son, Prabhakar went to his clothing store, Kamadhenu, where he hanged himself. The grim discovery was made later in the morning by Meghana, Santosh’s wife, who found the bedroom door latched from outside and discovered Jyothi’s body. She immediately alerted the police. A death note recovered from the residence revealed Prabhakar’s confession to killing his wife. He wrote of his inability to pay EMIs on a housing loan from L&T Housing Finance and blamed his business collapse on the state’s #ShaktiScheme, which provides free bus travel for women. He claimed the scheme reduced local foot traffic, devastating his shop’s revenue and pushing him into crisis. Police suspect Prabhakar used a dhoti (panche) to strangle his family members, though confirmation awaits the medical examiner’s report. The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team and dog squad are examining the scene. Prabhakar and Jyothi’s daughter, an unmarried IT professional in #Bengaluru, has been informed of the tragedy. Police are now reviewing the family’s financial records to establish the full extent of Prabhakar’s debt and losses. @MandyaPolice @112Mandya @DgpKarnataka @KarnatakaCops

Political Row Erupts Over Deve Gowda’s Rajya Sabha Seat ​Bengaluru A political controversy has surfaced in #Karnataka regarding former Prime Minister H.D.Deve Gowda and his potential nomination to the #RajyaSabha, with the #Congress and the #BJP trading barbs over the issue. ​The Karnataka Congress has condemned the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the National Democratic Alliance (#NDA), accusing them of disrespecting the veteran leader. #KPCC President B.K. Hariprasad alleged that the BJP historically leveraged HD Deve Gowda’s influence for political gain, only to sideline him when it came to securing a parliamentary seat. ​"The Congress party cooperated with him, and unanimously he was elected as the Rajya Sabha member," Hariprasad stated. "After they [NDA] came to power, they used the name of Mr. #DeveGowda for a long time to get their bill passed in the parliament. And for the political advantage, they used him. Not only used him, misused him also." ​Hariprasad further framed the denial of the Rajya Sabha seat not just as a personal slight against the former Prime Minister, but as a broader affront to the state. ​"The way they have insulted Mr. Deve Gowda, it is not an insult to Mr. Deve Gowda. It is an insult to the people of Karnataka," he continued. "By denying a Rajya Sabha seat to Mr. Deve Gowda, they have insulted entire Karnataka, and people will give them a befitting reply." ​In response to the mounting allegations, BJP Karnataka President B.Y. Vijayendra dismissed the claims that the party deliberately denied HD Deve Gowda a seat, clarifying that the topic had not been actively evaluated by the state leadership. ​"There were no discussions of any kind at the state level regarding sending the honorable senior and former Prime Minister Deve Gowda to the Rajya Sabha," Vijayendra told reporters. ​The exchange highlights escalating political tensions in the state as parties prepare their narratives and position themselves as the true defenders of Karnataka's political legacy. @INCKarnataka @BJP4Karnataka @BYVijayendra @HariprasadBK2 @H_D_Devegowda
