Home Minister orders probe
Following allegations by singer Lucky Ali on social media accusing IAS officer Rohini Sindhuri of helping her husband and realtor Sudhir Reddy of encroaching upon his ancestral property in Yelahanka, Home Minister Araga Jnanendra has now ordered a probe and asked DG & IGP Praveen Sood to submit a report. Ms. Sindhuri has rubbished the charges.
Mr. Lucky Ali, son of Bollywood comedian Mehmood, who is presently in Dubai, in a social media post, alleged that Mr. Sudhir Reddy and his brother Madhusudhan Reddy had been trespassing into his ancestral property, trying to take possession, before a crucial court hearing.
He accused Mr. Sudhir Reddy of taking the help of his IAS officer wife Ms. Rohini Sindhuri and the duo of “misusing the State’s resources for personal gain.”
Based on a complaint of trespass filed by him, the Yelahanka police registered a FIR against Mr. Madhusudhan Reddy on November 29. However, he alleged in his post that the police were siding with the “encroachers”.
In response, Ms. Sindhuri hit back and issued a statement saying she was “shocked and aghast at the false and baseless allegations” by Mr. Lucky Ali.
“I am unduly being dragged for ulterior motives in a matter I have no role whatsoever…. It has been done with an intention to malign and cause disrepute to me and gain public sympathy,” she said, adding that she planned to take legal action.
Responding to the allegations, Mr. Sudhir Reddy said he purchased three acres of land from Mansoor M. Ali, brother of Mr. Lucky Ali and his minor daughter Baby Sabrina in 2012.

The museum has not been opened to the public, reportedly because of the administration’s engagements with the State Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.

Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
