Indie dog goes missing in Bengaluru, army doctor who rescued him flies home for search: Report
In a quiet Bengaluru neighbourhood, a family continues to search for their furry friend who vanished without a trace over a week ago. Kalu, an 18-month-old Indie dog has been missing since the night of June 28, leaving his family devastated, The Times of India reported. Kalu was rescued by army doctor Harshita in Arunachal Pradesh and has been missing since June 28. (Representative image) READ | After Tigress and cubs, five stray dogs die in Bengaluru due to suspected poisoning: Report Kalu's journey began in the remote mountains of Arunachal Pradesh, where he was discovered as a frail puppy by Army doctor Harshita while she was posted on duty in late 2023. Among four abandoned pups, Kalu was the only one to survive after Harshita took them in and nursed them back to health with veterinary help. The bond was instant — she named him Kalu and brought him along as she transferred to Guwahati, and later, Belagavi in Karnataka. Due to her demanding schedule in Belagavi, Kalu was relocated in November 2024 to her family home in Govindarajanagar, Vijayanagar, where he quickly developed a routine of night walks after dinner. But on June 28, Kalu stepped out for his usual stroll and never returned. The family — Kusuma BH, a government employee; her son Bharat; and Harshita — has been working tirelessly to bring Kalu home. Within days of his disappearance, the family received a possible lead — a tipoff that Kalu was seen near a bar and restaurant in Basaveshwaranagar, about three km from home. By the time they arrived, he was gone again. READ | After tiger deaths, 20 dead monkeys found near Bandipur forest in Karnataka: Report Not willing to give up, the family launched a city-wide search campaign. Over 500 posters featuring Kalu's image have been distributed across Basaveshwaranagar, Mahalakshmipuram, Kurubarahalli, JC Nagar, and other localities. A reward of ₹15,000 has been announced for any credible information about his whereabouts, the report stated. The family has also turned to social media for help. When Harshita learned about Kalu's disappearance through a family group message, she immediately flew to Bengaluru from Arunachal Pradesh and has since joined the daily search, combing streets from dawn to dusk, Kusuma told the publication.

Kashmir: Court dismisses poll code violation case against Parra
A court in Kashmir's Awantipora has dismissed a case of alleged violation of model code of conduct against Peoples Democratic Party leader Waheed Parra filed last year by the J&K Police during parliamentary elections. Additional special mobile magistrate Muneer Ahmad Bhat stated that no cognisance was taken of the offence under Section 188 of the IPC as there was no written complaint. 'Reverting to the facts of the case in the light of the principles of law laid down by the Supreme Court, it is quite vivid that the offence under Section 188 of the IPC can be taken cognisance of only in accordance with Section 195(1)(a)(i) of the CrPC. Since the instant challan (police chargesheet) is without a written complaint, as such no cognisance is taken of offence under Section 188 of the IPC,' the order, announced on Friday, said. The police had filed the case against Waheed Parra in May 2024 for organising a rally in alleged violation of model code of conduct during parliamentary elections in April 2024 . (Getty Images/iStockphoto) 'The challan (police chargesheet) is dismissed and the accused is released. The bail bonds and personal bonds of the accused are discharged,' it said. The police had filed the case against Parra in May 2024 for organising a rally in alleged violation of model code of conduct during parliamentary elections in April, 2024 without obtaining the necessary permission. The police had filed the chargesheet against Parra on September 14, 2024. 'By no means can the model code of conduct be classified as an order under Section 188 of the IPC,' the court observed. Parra eventually lost the May 2024 parliamentary election from Srinagar parliamentary seat but won assembly election from Pulwama assembly seat in October 2024. The order said that the model code of conduct serves solely as guidance for political parties and candidates. 'It was established through the consensus of political parties in India with the aim of strengthening the foundations of the political system in our country. Clearly, it lacks statutory backing and many of its provisions are not legally enforceable. It is the political parties themselves that have agreed to adhere to the principles outlined in this code, thus binding them to respect and follow it both in letter and spirit,' the court said. The five-page judgment stated that even if the model code of conduct was considered an order under Section 188 of the IPC, the document MCC itself does not specify which public servant issued this order.
