The Karnataka High Court dismissed former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna’s plea to transfer two ongoing rape cases to a different court. The Court held that previous adverse remarks by the trial judge do not indicate bias and directed the cases to proceed on their merits.
Punjab Police chief Gaurav Yadav revealed that two retired officers received show-cause notices related to an FIR against Sikh preacher Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale for a 2012 rape and murder case. The case was reopened after family allegations of police inaction, amid claims of threats against the complainant, with Dhadrianwale denying all charges.
