00:00Hello and good evening, you're watching Super 6 on India Today, I'm Akshita and I'm the Gopal and this evening while we'll be getting you a roundup of all that's coming in from South India, the big stories, our focus is going to be on what's happening in Karnataka, you've heard it endless times that there's going to be some sort of rejig on the cards, a leadership change in Karnataka, but it definitely seems this time that the wheels are turning for that.
00:25While you had this photo op of Sidra Maya and D.K. Shiv Kumar holding up their hands together, there's been endless talk of some sort of divide in the Karnataka Congress, whether that's true or not will break down for you, but also seems that now the road is being made for D.K. Shiv Kumar to take over as the Chief Minister of Karnataka.
00:47Is that actually going to happen? What really will that mean for the Karnataka Congress? What will happen to Sidra Maya then? We're going to be talking about that and much more. Let's begin with the headlines first.
01:01Mega showdown outside Korgata Law College. Mamta's cops and BJP face-off as BJP fact-finding panel meets college vice-principle slams Mamta government for surge in crimes against women.
01:17Did law college rapists get political patronage? BGP posts rapists. Saib's low marks on merit list says Saib got admission despite not making the count.
01:35Gruesome Bengaluru rape and murder. Live-in partner Shamsuddin kills woman, dumps body in garbage. Victim's body with legs tied around neck found.
01:45Sidra Maya and DK has hold hands, say all is well. Show of unity and bonhomie. Amid reports of a leadership change, Kharge says high command to take call on CM face.
02:02Big revelation in actor Shefali death case. Cops find anti-aging medicines at Shefali house. Cops say Shefali was using skin glow medication.
02:17And Andhra's remote tribal hamlet gets road and school after India Today report. Special school sanction for tribal children. Tribal celebrate with a Vinsa dance and garments.
02:36Amid all of the political buzz in Karnataka, Chief Minister Sidra Maya has now spoken out, taking to social media in a long post.
03:03He's latched out at the BJP, calling them defeated opportunists and saying that they're attempting to go ahead and spread lies of a revolt, of a divide in the Karnataka Congress.
03:15Sidra Maya, after that photo op, mind you, where he and DK are seen holding hands together and pumping their fists in the air.
03:22Sidra Maya says that DK Shriv Kumar and I are united. We are strong.
03:27And that the Congress government will remain strong till the end, Sidra Maya says, will return to power in 2028 again.
03:34But, mind you, nowhere in that post does Sidra Maya say, I will remain the Chief Minister till the end of the term.
03:43He says we're together. There's no question of a divide.
03:45But at no point is Sidra Maya clearing the air over whether there's going to be a CM change.
03:50Instead, the Karnataka Chief Minister says, there's no revolt.
03:53DK Shriv Kumar and I are strong. We're united.
03:57So, while he's dismissed reports of a revolt, not necessarily at this point suggesting that he will remain the Chief Minister till the end of the five years.
04:06Hinting, perhaps, that there is a possibility of that 50-50 decision coming to the fore.
04:11Meaning that for 50% of the duration of that term, you'll have Sidra Maya as Chief Minister.
04:16And then for the next 50% of the time, it will be DK Shriv Kumar.
04:20But, Sagai Raj is joining us live from Bengaluru with poor details.
04:23So, om this Sagai.
04:25Clarity from Sidra Maya where he says that, look, there's no question of a revolt.
04:29We're all one. We remain united.
04:31But no clarity on whether there's going to be a CM change.
04:34Absolutely. Even Malika Chunkarge has categorically mentioned that it is high command which will decide who will be the Chief Minister or who will be out of power.
04:47And he said that nobody, especially embellies and ministers, are not allowed to speak about all these things.
04:52And the decision has not been made on the streets of Bengaluru or it will be made in the high command.
04:56And the high command will decide on the same.
04:58And even Chief Minister Sidra Maya symbolically said that by holding the hand of DK Shriv Kumar that they are united.
05:06And also said that his government is as strong as a border and they need not worry about it.
05:10And they will complete five years of the government.
05:12But he said their government, Congress government will complete five years.
05:16He didn't mention that if Sidra Maya government will complete five years.
05:19And this is not the first time that he has avoided that question.
05:22Whenever we asked him about whether Sidra Maya will complete five years, he said that the Karnataka Congress government will complete five years.
05:29But he didn't categorically mention that if Sidra Maya will complete five years.
05:34Okay. Thanks very much, Sagai, for joining us with those details.
05:38The indication is that, look, there's going to be no revolt.
05:41If there is going to be a change in who the CM will be, it looks like it will happen rather smoothly.
05:47Or at least that's the messaging here by Chief Minister Sidra Maya.
05:51Sidra Maya has reassured public that he and his deputy at this point, DK Shriv Kumar, remain on good terms.
05:58But when the same was asked to the Congress Chief Malikar Junkarge, who's in Bengaluru, he just had one answer.
06:04It's in the hands of the party high command.
06:05This begs the question, who is the high command, if not the AICC chief, if not for Malikar Junkarge himself?
06:12The Congress chief says the high command will decide.
06:15And that leads to questions of whether Mr. Karge here is just the rubber-stamped president of the Congress,
06:21and that it's actually the Gandhis who take all of the decisions in the party.
06:25Details in our report, including what Karge said.
06:35Amid buzzs over a political shake-up in Karnataka, CM Sidra Maya sends out a message of unity.
06:43The CM and his deputy, DK Shivakumar, posing for the cameras, rejecting reports of divide between the two.
06:49But in less than an hour, Congress Chief Malikar Junkarge dropped a bombshell.
07:15Saying the high command will decide on leadership change.
07:23Further fueling the speculation over leadership change, DK Shivakumar met with Karge in Bengaluru.
07:45Left to the high command, the high command has got power to take further actions.
07:51But unnecessarily, one should not create problems.
07:56The BJP tore into the Congress, citing Karge's statement.
08:00Meanwhile, Congress high command's emissary, Randeep Surjewala, met MLA's to address.
08:30Their concerns over government's functioning and lack of development funds in the state.
08:37Several Congress MLA's have complained publicly about lack of funds for development work.
08:44Few even claimed that a big political churn is set to happen in the state this year.
08:49And that the deputy CM could ascend to the top job within the next two to three months.
08:54High Command remained in Israel.
08:57High Command
09:22So what's going to happen in Karnataka
09:49in the coming weeks, in the coming months
09:51to decode that and more.
09:53Joining us on this broadcast is Sandeep Shastri,
09:55coordinator of Lok Neeti.
09:57And also in the political circles,
09:58the back and forth that we've been witnessing
10:00over all of this talk of a leadership change.
10:03Anand Gurumurthy of the BJP is joining us on this broadcast.
10:06Anil Tatkal, spokesperson of the Congress, also with us.
10:09Good evening, gentlemen.
10:10Thank you very much for your time.
10:11Mr. Shastri, I'd like to begin with you.
10:13What do you think, sir, is going to happen in Karnataka
10:15if there is a leadership change?
10:17You know, the Congress has said very clearly,
10:19no revolt, but not really made it clear
10:21that there will be a change in the CM.
10:24If that happens, advantage, disadvantage?
10:26Do you think D.K. Shukumar is as strong a leader as Sidra Maya?
10:33Akshita, if you read the writing on the wall
10:36and if you read the lines between the lines
10:42that are being said,
10:43I think the environment for a change of leadership
10:49is really clearly being created by the Congress leadership.
10:55You started off by saying the wheels are turning.
10:58I agree with you.
10:59The wheels are turning.
11:00But the question is,
11:02when will they stop turning
11:04and we actually see the change happening?
11:06Politically, if the Congress wishes to make any change,
11:11it would be detrimental to their interest
11:14to do it anything beyond six months now
11:17because you will have to give the new leadership time
11:20to be able to settle down.
11:22And I don't think there is a debate
11:27on who is likely to be the replacement
11:30because that was, I think,
11:32something settled more than two years ago
11:34when it was decided that Sidra Maya
11:36would become the Chief Minister.
11:38And the fact that Mr. Sidra Maya
11:40has openly said that this is his last stint in power,
11:44I think any change,
11:46this seems to be the right moment
11:49and all the signals you are getting,
11:51including Mr. Kargay saying
11:53that the high command will take the final call.
11:57All these, as I said again,
11:59read between the lines,
12:01read the writing on the wall.
12:03It seems to suggest
12:04that the moment of change may not be too far up.
12:09Mr. Shastri, having said that,
12:11you know, at this point,
12:12Sidra Maya is indulging in these very active photo ops
12:15where he's holding up D.K. Shruv Kumar's hand in triumph
12:18to send out a message, we're united.
12:20Do you actually see that happening
12:22if there's a leadership change?
12:23Do you think Sidra Maya will sit back and say,
12:25hey, look, it's D.K. Shruv Kumar's turn
12:27in the limelight to be the Chief Minister?
12:30You see, holding up the hand
12:33is very much a symbolic gesture
12:35for public consumption.
12:37But ultimately,
12:39there would be a lot of backroom negotiations,
12:42there would be a lot of political bargaining.
12:44And Mr. Sidra Maya does know that
12:48if there has been,
12:49I mean,
12:50if there has actually been a decision
12:52at the start of the term
12:53for a midterm change,
12:55he would be somebody
12:56who is anticipating that.
12:58Though, of course,
12:59there have been several moments
13:00when it was said
13:01that the whole term
13:02would have one Chief Minister.
13:04But as you rightly said,
13:05today's statement
13:06does not make any reference to that.
13:08So that's why I keep saying
13:09the writing on the wall
13:11suggests a change.
13:12And yes, there will be pinpricks.
13:15Yes, there will be
13:16difference of opinion.
13:18And it would,
13:20one would see,
13:21one would be looking out to
13:23how does the high command
13:26which the Congress President
13:28refers to
13:29actually prevent
13:31the ruffling of feathers
13:33for any smooth change to happen.
13:35Okay.
13:36Mr. Anil Thadkar,
13:37opening comments from you, sir.
13:38Seems to be a given right now
13:40that there is going to be
13:41a leadership change.
13:42I hope from the messages
13:43we've received,
13:44you're not going to deny that
13:45at this point in the broadcast.
13:47But who's going to take the call?
13:48I think everyone's asking right now
13:50if the Karnataka,
13:52if the AICC President,
13:54Mr. Kharge,
13:55is not the high command,
13:56then who really is?
13:57Is this an admission
13:58that it's only the Gandhis
13:59essentially decide,
14:00you know,
14:00who will be the Chief Minister
14:02in Karnataka?
14:04See,
14:04we have to look at
14:06from the two prospects.
14:07One is from the
14:08legislators' prospect.
14:10The other one is
14:10from the high command's prospect
14:11as we are a national party.
14:13As Mr. Malikarjun Kharge
14:15has clearly
14:15categorically mentioned
14:17that like he,
14:18high commands
14:18basically looks into
14:19this kind of,
14:20you know,
14:20issues
14:21which comes in,
14:23which comes as in
14:24to their kitty.
14:26So,
14:27what Malikarjun Kharge
14:28was clearly mentioning,
14:29it is a decision
14:29which will be done
14:30by the high command
14:31with the CWC members
14:33along with
14:33the Gandhi family.
14:35Of course,
14:36there is a contribution
14:38of the Gandhi family
14:39from last 70,
14:4075 years
14:41for this particular party.
14:42At the same time,
14:43there is a CWC members.
14:44At the same time,
14:45there is a Congress
14:45president
14:46who basically takes
14:47a collective decision
14:48when it comes
14:49to the final decision.
14:51But end of the day,
14:52the legislators
14:53who are being elected
14:54by the people
14:54of the state
14:55will tell
14:56who is the next leader
14:57that they basically
14:58belong to.
14:58Right now,
14:59there is no discussions
15:00which is happening
15:00in the House
15:01of the Congress.
15:02But these kind of,
15:03you know,
15:04issues are basically
15:05either coming
15:06from the selective
15:07members of the legislators
15:08or from the,
15:09from the,
15:11or oppositions
15:12or from the media houses.
15:13Of course,
15:14for every point,
15:15like today,
15:15I think the press minute,
15:16press minute of Mr. Sri Siddharamaya
15:18and Sri D.K. Shukumar
15:20has clearly given
15:20an indication
15:21what is that,
15:22that our state leader
15:24is looking like.
15:25And it is very clearly
15:26that like,
15:26you know,
15:27Siddharamaya and D.K. Shukumar
15:28holded their hands
15:29and told that
15:30the entire public
15:31that we are
15:31united together
15:32and we will be
15:33united together
15:34until to the last minute
15:35of this government.
15:36So,
15:36as of now,
15:37there is no issues
15:38as far as the state
15:39team is concerned.
15:40So,
15:41it is just a rumour
15:42which is coming
15:42in the system
15:43as a fright-off.
15:44You know,
15:44you say media houses
15:45but the reality is
15:46you referred to the message
15:47from Mr. Siddharamaya.
15:49It was very easy
15:50for him to come out
15:51also with a clarification
15:51saying,
15:52look,
15:52we will complete
15:53five years
15:54with me as the
15:55chief minister.
15:55There is a reason
15:56perhaps he didn't
15:57put out that comment.
15:58Anand Gurumurthy
15:58of the BJP
15:59is also with us.
16:00Anand Gurumurthy,
16:01what do you make
16:02of what the Congress
16:02says?
16:03They say that,
16:03look,
16:03there is a whole lot
16:04of speculation
16:04but let's be clear
16:05that we are one,
16:06we are strong,
16:07we are a united force.
16:09See,
16:10first of all,
16:10I want to make
16:10one clarification here.
16:11It is Mr. Firoz Gandhi,
16:13Gandhi's family
16:14which is being
16:15referred to here.
16:17Okay,
16:17Nehruji,
16:18I don't know
16:18how these people
16:19come up with
16:19these statements
16:20but anyway,
16:21let them continue
16:22this thing
16:23but what I want
16:24to tell here is
16:25this kind of
16:27functioning
16:28that Mr. Siddharamaya
16:30and his co-taire,
16:32they do all kinds
16:32of drama every day
16:33and along with that
16:35the WTCM
16:36starts some statements
16:37and every day
16:37they confuse people
16:38from the last
16:39two and a half years
16:40since they came
16:41into power
16:41and even before that
16:42in the election campaign
16:43they confuse people,
16:45came to power
16:45and now they are
16:46confusing their MLS
16:47on a daily basis.
16:49You know,
16:49the MLS are so fed up
16:50including,
16:51you know,
16:52give the opposition MLS,
16:53the Congress MLS themselves,
16:55they are not getting
16:55any development funds
16:56and the MLS
16:57in Karnataka especially,
16:58every day hundreds of people
16:59are flocking to their houses
17:00and asking them questions
17:02regarding,
17:03you know,
17:04road development,
17:05regarding irrigation
17:06related issues,
17:07regarding so many
17:07agriculture related issues
17:08and nobody is there
17:10to answer
17:10and here,
17:12these people,
17:12they talk about
17:13high command,
17:14Mr. Sujewala comes here,
17:15there is an auction
17:16going on for the CM seat
17:17in Karnataka,
17:18this is what BJP has to say.
17:20Okay,
17:21and we are fed up.
17:22No, what are you leveling
17:23that allegation on?
17:25What are you basing it on
17:26to say it's an auction
17:27that's going on right now?
17:28Mr. Sujewala comes here
17:29and then,
17:30you know,
17:30discusses how well
17:32they are going to,
17:32you know,
17:33feed the party
17:34at the central level
17:34as he said,
17:35Mr. Piroz Gandhi's family
17:36or something like that.
17:37They will decide,
17:38okay,
17:39this man will get
17:40the chief minister's party.
17:41It's not the Karnataka
17:42Congress MLA's
17:43who are deciding
17:44who their chief minister will be.
17:45It's not Karnataka Congress MLA's
17:46who are telling
17:47what kind of benefits
17:48the people will get
17:49to their doorstep
17:50or how the assembly
17:51constituencies will develop.
17:53It's only somebody
17:54sitting there in Delhi
17:55who is pulling the strings
17:56for their own benefits
17:57and, you know,
17:59sucking blood
17:59from Karnataka people.
18:01That's what they are doing.
18:02That's what Congress
18:02is good at
18:03and that's what they are doing.
18:04Whoever becomes
18:05the chief minister,
18:06okay,
18:06it doesn't matter
18:07to the people now
18:08because they are fed up
18:09with Congress in Karnataka.
18:10Okay, Anil Thadkal,
18:12your response to the point
18:13made by the BJP
18:14on governance taking a hit.
18:16For the last months,
18:17I would say,
18:18we've seen all of the stock
18:19of a tussle
18:20between the chief minister,
18:21between the deputy chief minister
18:23and the chief minister
18:24of factions being made
18:25within the Karnataka Congress
18:27and so there have always
18:28been questions
18:29about whether governance
18:30has been taking a back seat
18:31and all of this power
18:32tussle that's been going on.
18:35I would like to clearly
18:36tell my friend Mr. Anand
18:37that like,
18:38you know,
18:38it is the Mr. Etnal
18:40from the Bharatiya Janta Party
18:42who has been
18:43tendering the CM seat
18:45when they were in power
18:46for 2,500 crores.
18:48There is no discussion
18:49of money
18:50or there is no discussion
18:51of any of these
18:52kind of activities
18:53which has been told
18:54by Mr. Anand
18:55who is my dear friend
18:56but I would like to
18:57very categorically tell
18:58this is the only state
18:59in the entire country
19:00today who is actually
19:02selling out nearly
19:03about 58,000 crores
19:05for the first time
19:06direct benefit schemes
19:07to the government
19:08for the state
19:10of the people.
19:11So here I would like
19:13to tell that
19:13like today
19:14the BJP are living
19:15in the illusion
19:16that like they are
19:17sitting in the
19:18they are telling
19:20that the Congress
19:21government
19:21is not being able
19:22to do far
19:23or probably like
19:24you know
19:24they are relying
19:24on their high command.
19:25I would like to ask
19:26very one simple question
19:27to Mr. Anand
19:28today whatever the BJP
19:30today the BJP
19:31at least has
19:32six seven powerhouses
19:33if you look at
19:34Vijayendra is one powerhouse
19:35that is with his father
19:37and Mr. Pilar Jushi
19:39is the other powerhouse
19:40who is sitting in the Delhi
19:41and doing a lobby
19:41for the state power
19:42and there is
19:43another power
19:44which is from the RSS

24:03looks like
24:03this is within
24:04the cabinet
24:04of the
24:04ministers
24:05now mind
24:06you there
24:06are many
24:07ministers
24:07right now
24:08who are
24:08neutral
24:09in the sense
24:10who are
24:10okay with
24:11whichever way
24:11this goes
24:12and will
24:13essentially
24:13go with
24:14whichever way
24:15the high
24:15command
24:15goes
24:16but there
24:16are some
24:16leaders
24:17who are
24:17clear
24:17loyalists
24:18in the
24:18cabinet
24:19in team
24:19Sidramaya
24:20you have
24:20ministers
24:21like
24:21Mahadevapa
24:21Satish
24:22Jarkiholi
24:23Dinesh

24:24these
24:25three
24:25ministers
24:26are known
24:26to be
24:26loyalists
24:27to
24:27chief
24:27minister
24:28Sidramaya
24:29so if
24:29there is
24:30a change
24:30in leadership
24:31will they
24:31be okay
24:31or will
24:32they be
24:32even removed
24:32from the
24:33cabinet
24:33because of
24:34their loyalty
24:34to
24:35Sidramaya
24:35under DK
24:36Shivkumar
24:37if you look
24:38at the
24:38list of
24:38ministers
24:39who are
24:39clearly
24:40on his
24:40side
24:40who have
24:41been
24:41batting
24:41for him
24:42Lakshmi
24:42Habalkar
24:43is one
24:43of them
24:43you have
24:44also
24:44Shivanand
24:45Patil
24:45as well
24:46as D
24:46Sudhakar
24:47these are
24:52because of
24:53help from
24:54their leaders
24:54Sidramaya
24:55in some
24:55cases
24:55DK
24:56Shivkumar
24:56and others
24:57now remember
24:58besides these
24:59there are
24:59many other
24:59ministers
25:00who are
25:01largely
25:01on the
25:02fence
25:02will go
25:03whichever
25:03way
25:04the high
25:04command
25:05tells them
25:05to go
25:06who are
25:06neutral
25:06in this
25:07circumstance
25:07so looking
25:08at this
25:08Mr.
25:09Shastri
25:10do you
25:10think
25:11that if
25:11there is
25:11a change
25:12in leadership
25:12it will
25:13happen
25:14smoothly
25:14or there
25:15will be
25:15some
25:15rumblings
25:16in the
25:16cabinet
25:17there is
25:17no doubt
25:17that whenever
25:18DK
25:18Shivkumar
25:19takes
25:19over
25:19and I am
25:19not saying
25:20if
25:20but I am
25:21saying
25:21when
25:21when he
25:22takes
25:22over
25:22there will
25:23be a lot
25:23of changes
25:24that he
25:24will bring
25:25about as
25:25well
25:25to bring
25:26in his
25:26loyalists
25:27into the
25:27cabinet
25:28Akshita
25:30that would
25:31all depend
25:31upon
25:32how the
25:34leadership
25:35of the
25:35Congress
25:36at the
25:36national
25:36level
25:37initiates
25:38these
25:39changes
25:39response
25:40to what
25:41possibly
25:42Sidramaya
25:43would be
25:43expecting
25:44as you
25:45rightly
25:45said
25:46I don't
25:47think
25:47the
25:48ministers
25:48would take
25:49sights
25:49they would
25:50look at
25:51the cues
25:51that the
25:52high command
25:52provides
25:53they would
25:54be more
25:54interested
25:54in continuing
25:55in the
25:56ministerships
25:56themselves
25:57so that
25:58would be
25:58top priority
25:59for them
26:00and
26:01Akshita
26:02one small
26:02point
26:03and this
26:04has been
26:04the tragedy
26:05of Karnataka
26:05whether it's
26:07been the BJP
26:07in power
26:08or now the
26:09Congress
26:09in power
26:10legislators
26:11who do not
26:12become ministers
26:13become dissidents
26:14and are the
26:14ones who keep
26:15raising the
26:17bogey of
26:18rebellion
26:18we saw
26:19this in the
26:20previous
26:20government
26:21we are
26:21seeing it
26:22in the
26:22present
26:22government
26:23if there
26:24is a
26:24leadership
26:25change
26:26and as
26:26you said
26:26when there
26:27is a
26:27leadership
26:28change
26:28I think
26:29the hope
26:30of a
26:31citizen
26:32of Karnataka
26:32is that
26:33the focus
26:34once again
26:35goes back
26:36to governance
26:36and not
26:38remain on
26:39who is the
26:40leader
26:40because I
26:41think for
26:42too long
26:42has time
26:43been lost
26:43in fighting
26:45over
26:46leadership
26:47and I
26:48think it's
26:48time that
26:49the
26:49governance
26:50which seems
26:51to have
26:51taken a
26:52backseat
26:52once again
26:53comes to
26:54the fore
26:54because at
26:55the end
26:55of the day
26:56that's what
26:56the people
26:57of the state
26:57would expect
26:58and I hope
26:59both Anand
27:00and Anil
27:01are listening
27:02to this
27:02because this
27:03is what
27:03the Bengaluru
27:04wants
27:04this is what
27:05every person
27:06in Karnataka
27:06wants
27:07Anand
27:07you know
27:08as much
27:08as right now
27:09you're talking
27:09about
27:09indecisive
27:10leadership
27:11governance
27:11taking a
27:12hit
27:12many would
27:13point fingers
27:13at the BJP
27:14as well
27:14saying this
27:15is exactly
27:15what governance
27:16and the BJP
27:17also look like
27:17with challenges
27:18in the leadership
27:19in BJP
27:22whatever the
27:23challenges
27:23are
27:24we don't
27:24hide it
27:25we don't
27:25say that
27:26this is a
27:26challenge
27:26we are
27:27great
27:27we are
27:28you know
27:28listening to
27:29high command
27:30all this
27:30doesn't happen
27:30in BJP
27:31whatever has
27:32come out
27:32has been
27:33dealt with
27:33and whatever
27:34will come out
27:35in the coming
27:35days also
27:36it will be
27:36out for the
27:36people to see
27:37and we
27:38as a party
27:39we believe
27:39only in one
27:40thing
27:40if somebody
27:41is elected
27:42as a president
27:42as long
27:43as we are
27:44a character
27:44of the
27:45party
27:46we have
27:46to stand
27:47with the
27:47president
27:47unless
27:48there is
27:48a change
27:49in the
27:49party

27:56different way

44:18of theft.
44:26Chief Minister MK Stalin, meanwhile, in light of what's happened in Sivaganga of this alleged
44:33custodial death, has also held a review meeting and has warned of stern action against those
44:38involved in lock-up deaths.
44:41Chief Minister Stalin has sent across a clear message to the police that while ensuring swift
44:47action, they must also ensure that there is no question of deaths taking place in custody.
44:54Let's also get you all of the political reactions that have come in on this.
45:02This is a clear indication that it is not a custodial death, it is a custodial murder, murder committed
45:12by the police force themselves.
45:14And this is the 25th murder under this DMK, MK Stalin's route.
45:18And many of this goes unnoticed with an IVAS investigation.
45:24However, what has happened is, police force have gone to the extent of calling the parents
45:29and threatening them, we strongly condemn this and we demand a transparent and thorough enquiry
45:36and investigation and there has to be justice which needs to be delivered to the Ajit Kumar
45:40family.
45:41And the MK Stalin should...
45:42Aadha is joining us live with more details on this.
45:47Pramod, you accessed the images of the victim Ajit Kumar, who allegedly died in custody,
45:54who was allegedly beaten to death by the police.
45:56Take us through really what information has come through from the initial investigation right
46:01now.
46:02Akshita, it's a very serious matter because most of the information is either being filtered
46:08or not even coming to the public forum for now because this occurred on Friday and the
46:12only account we have so far is the brother because police forces have not even released
46:17a statement on this matter so far.
46:18We do not have an FIR report, we do not have any preliminary autopsy report yet because everything
46:23seems to be somewhere, somehow stopped.
46:25But amidst all this, the Chief Minister's Holder also held a review meeting where he has issued
46:30a stern warning against any kind of cop who is involved in such kind of activity.
46:34However, the matter has also reached Madras High Court, the Madri bench, where
46:38AIDMK Legal Wing has approached stating that it should be taken as a suo moto petition but
46:43court wants to hear the case tomorrow.
46:45AIDMK has claimed that so far 24 deaths have occurred in the past 4 years.
46:49The court has questioned why Ajit Kumar was detained in such manner.
46:53Was he a terrorist?
46:54That's the question that was put forward and amidst all this, now we have an image where
46:58it shows blood stains on the persons right here which was also confirmed by the brother.
47:05Even though there are like so many information about several marks or injuries on the body,
47:09no concrete information as per the reports is out yet.
47:12But this is a confirmed image that shows blood stains on the persons right here and this
47:17needs proper detailed investigation, Akshita.
47:22Thanks, Pramod, for those details.
47:25Let's get you all of the images of the monsoons that are wreaking havoc in states like Himachal
47:30Pradesh and Uttarakhand, bringing normal life to a standstill.
47:33Here are some of those images.
47:36A five-story building collapsed in Shimla as heavy rains continued in Himachal Pradesh.
47:40A video has gone viral that shows the house crashing down like a sack of cards.
47:45The owner fortunately had evacuated the building on Sunday night.
47:55Traffic has come to a standstill after the Badrinath-Rishikesh Highway was blocked due to a landslide.
48:00Heavy rainfall continues across several districts in Uttarakhand, forcing passengers travelling
48:04to Badrinath, Kedarnath and Hemkund Sahib to stop at safe locations.
48:12In Uttar Pradesh's Harpur district, two health services were paralysed after a government
48:17hospital was submerged due to heavy rainfall.
48:26This is in Rajasthan, where a vehicle got trapped in a flooded river in Sirohi district.
48:31The driver managed to climb atop the vehicle.
48:33Within minutes, he was later rescued by the local villagers.
48:36A major accident was averted at one of the popular tourist spots in Bihar's Gaia district.
48:45Due to the sudden weather change, the flow in the waterfall intensified, which created
48:49panic among tourists.
48:51Villagers quickly swung into action, rescued all of the people just in time.
