In a disturbing turn of events, a Government primary school teacher from the district was caught for sexually abusing children three times in the last 10 years.
While he was booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act twice, his first offence had taken place before the POCSO Act came into being.
The parents of the children who had become the victims of A.K. Ashraf’s sexual perversion said he should not be allowed to interact with students anymore.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
