Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court, in an interim order, has stayed the order of the Public Works Department, directing the Mysore Race Club (MRC) to suspend its racing activities. The PWD had issued the order on the grounds that MRC had not maintained the premises, buildings and the sanitation lines in good conditions, as specified in the contract.
The department had noticed that MRC employees had not been provided with medical facilities at ESI Hospitals and no shelters on the club premises. The Club had approached the court, challenging the PWD order.
Bail to cop arrested in flesh trade case: The High Court on Monday granted bail to Karibasappa, the suspended head constable attached to the Parappana Agrahara police station who was arrested in an alleged flesh trade case. The court granted bail while imposing certain conditions along with directions to assist the investigation.
The Mico Layout police had arrested the policeman after the probe revealed that the money paid by customers seeking sexual favours was allegedly being credited into the policeman’s bank account. The police had raided a luxury villa in BTM Layout, following a tipoff that the accommodation was being used to run a prostitution racket. When the prime accused and others were grilled, they had revealed that they knew Karibasappa for the last 3-4 years and he was supporting them. The accused said that they knew him since the days he was working at the Madiwala police station.
