Former CM Bommai calls for impartial SIT investigation in Prajwal Revanna case, demands justice for victims and punishment for political conspirators.
The former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) should investigate the Prajwal Revanna case impartially and ensure that the victims in the case are given justice.
Speaking to presspersons in Hubballi on Friday, Mr. Bommai said that legally, Prajwal has surrendered before the SIT and the law will follow its own course.
While it is required that the victims in the case get justice, it is also required that those who distributed the pen drive that had the sleaze videos are also brought to book. The way the pen drives were distributed indicated that there was a political conspiracy and that the SIT should investigate this also, he said.
Mr. Bommai said that there are clear indications that the issue has been politicised and it is crucial that SIT investigated it from all angles and brought out the truth.
On the death of an employee of the Tribal Development Corporation P. Chandrashekharan, he said that it was a fit case to be probed into by the Central Bureau of Investigation as a bank is also involved in the scam.
Mr. Bommai said that as per law, any transaction involving over ₹10 crore should be probed into by the CBI and the State government should hand over the case to the CBI.
On the issue of demand of resignation of Minister Nagendra, he said that it is a question of morality.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
