A court in Mysuru, India, has ordered an investigation into the police's handling of a murder case after the woman allegedly murdered by her husband was found alive. Suresh, the husband, spent 1.5 years in jail on murder charges after his wife, Mallige, went missing. The police found a skeleton and filed a charge sheet against Suresh, but a DNA test later showed a mismatch. Mallige was found alive in Madikeri and admitted to eloping and marrying another man. The court has ordered the Superintendent of Police to submit a report on the lapses in the investigation.
Janata Dal-Secular leader H D Kumaraswamy on Thursday said the party's second list of candidates for the May 10 Karnataka assembly polls, including for the contentious Hassan seat, will be finalised on April 7.
Within a week of assuming power, the Congress government in Karnataka has expanded its cabinet on Saturday, filling all posts.
The Congress is looking at Channapatna to take revenge on the JD-S which, it believes, has an underhand deal with the BJP to stop it from getting a majority.
