The Belthangady court has once again postponed its order on taking cognisance of the SIT report in the Dharmasthala case to January 3, 2026. The report alleges false complaints and fabrication of evidence by multiple accused.
An FIR has been registered against Union Minister Lalan Singh after a viral video showed him telling supporters to “keep opposition leaders inside their homes” on polling day in Bihar’s Mokama constituency. Authorities booked him under the Representation of the People Act after reviewing surveillance footage.
The Karnataka High Court has stayed the investigation into the Dharmasthala mass burial case after four activists, who initially led the campaign demanding the probe, challenged the legality of the FIR. The court questioned the police’s action and stopped the SIT from summoning them till the next hearing.
