FIR against BJP MLC N Ravi Kumar for controversial remarks on Kalaburagi DC
Kalaburagi (Karnataka) [India], May 27 (ANI): The Karnataka police have registered an FIR against Bharatiya Janata Party MLC N Ravi Kumar over his alleged remarks against the Kalaburagi Deputy Commissioner Fauzia Tarannum during the BJP's protest rally on May 24. The FIR was registered at the Station Bazaar police station of Kalaburagi. N Ravi Kumar sparked the controversy following his remarks on the Kalaburagi DC, Fauzia Tarannum. He was addressing a rally organised under the BJP's 'Kalaburagi Chalo' campaign on May 24. Kumar alleged that the district administration was functioning under the influence of the ruling Congress government. Ravi Kumar questioned the independence of the District Collector and made a derogatory reference suggesting she might have 'come from Pakistan.' 'The Kalaburagi DC office has also lost its independence. The DC madam is also listening to what they (Congress) say. I don't know whether the DC has come from Pakistan or is an IAS officer here,' Ravi Kumar said. He triggered backlash from progressive groups and civil society organisations, who have demanded action against him for the 'insulting and communal' remarks. Fauzia Tarannum currently serves as the District Collector of Kalaburagi under the Congress-led state government. Though not directly involved in the political developments, her role as the administrative head of the district has come under the political spotlight amid heightened tensions. The protest led by the BJP was held to demand the removal of Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge from the state Cabinet. The demand stems from a May 21 incident in Chittapur- Priyank Kharge's assembly constituency- where Congress workers allegedly laid siege to a guest house where Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council, Chalavadi Narayanswamy, was staying. In response to the protest and Ravikumar's remarks, Congress leader and state minister Sharan Prakash Patil on Sunday accused BJP leaders of unnecessarily provoking tensions and attempting to politicise the administration. 'This is a deliberate attempt to provoke and communalise the atmosphere. Such statements against an officer performing her duties are unacceptable,' Patil said. The incident has further deepened political fault lines in Kalaburagi, with both administrative officials and political leaders now drawn into a broader battle between the BJP and the ruling Congress over governance, accountability, and decorum in public discourse.

NEW DELHI: An FIR has been registered against BJP MLC and chief whip N Ravi Kumar on Tuesday at the Station Bazar Police Station in Kalaburagi, Karnataka over alleged derogatory remarks made against Kalaburagi deputy commissioner Fauzia Tarannum. During a protest demonstration at the BJP's 'Kalaburagi Chalo' event on May 24, Ravikumar criticised the district administration, claiming it was operating under the control of the incumbent Congress government. His subsequent remarks about the district collector's autonomy drew significant criticism, particularly when he made a derogatory reference suggesting she might have "come from Pakistan." "The Kalaburagi DC office has also lost its independence. The DC madam is also listening to what they (Congress) say. I don't know whether the DC has come from Pakistan or is an IAS officer here," Ravikumar said, triggering backlash from progressive groups and civil society organisations, who have demanded action against him for the "insulting and communal" remarks.

Niloufer superintendent suspended for unauthorised private medical store construction in hospital
Hyderabad: The health department on Friday suspended Niloufer Hospital in-charge superintendent Dr N Ravi Kumar for allegedly allowing construction of a private medical store within the hospital premises without official permission. Officials also demolished the store on Friday. The suspension order issued by Telangana health secretary Christina Z Chongthu read: "In the circumstances reported by the director of medical education (DME), Hyderabad, govt places Dr N Ravi Kumar, in-charge superintendent, Niloufer Hospital, Hyderabad, under suspension." Dr G Vijay Kumar, professor of paediatrics at Niloufer Hospital, has been appointed as the new in-charge superintendent until further orders. A source from the health department told TOI that the construction of the medical shop had begun around three days ago and came to notice of authorities after media reports. "The superintendent (Ravi Kumar) had told media persons that permission was given by CMO, Hyderabad collector, DME, and other authorities. But there was no such official permission. Hence, he was placed under suspension for misguiding everyone," the source added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Villa Domínico (ver precio) Verisure Más información Undo Acknowledging to TOI that he received the suspension order, Dr Kumar, however, refused to comment further. DME A Narendra Kumar told TOI, "There is no provision to setup a private medical shop within a govt health setup unless permission is taken. This is because the govt itself provids medicines from its own medical shops. However, the concerned superintendent had not obtained any permission and he was also not able to stop the construction, which reflects his inefficiency."
