"The government will ensure that justice is done, and the accused persons are punished. Government is with you," the minister told the inconsolable family members. Later, the minister announced an ex gratia of Rs 10 lakh to the family members of Panchal. "I spoke to the family members who complained to me that the police refused to register a case. I have spoken to senior police officials. Action has been taken against a few policemen," he added. Khandre said the Government Railway Police (GRP) is probing the suicide case and the government would also consider handing over the investigation to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). The BJP has taken the case seriously. It has demanded that the case should be handed over to the CBI. "The death note written by Panchal, a contractor from Bidar who committed suicide due to harassment by Minister @PriyankKharge's right-hand man, Raju, reveals alarming and serious information that he had given 'Supari' (contract killing) to kill our MLA Basavaraj Mattimadu, BJP leaders Chandu Patil, Manikantha Rathod and Andola Swami," the party's state president B Y Vijayendra said in a statement. Vijayendra and senior BJP functionaries on Sunday evening visited Panchal's residence and spoke to the family members. Priyank Kharge, who is the son of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, hit out at the BJP for making baseless allegations against him and politicising Panchal's death. He said nowhere in Panchal's death note is his name mentioned, and added that there were financial transactions between Panchal and Kapanur which need to be investigated. Amid mounting pressure, Priyank Kharge met Chief Minister Siddaramaiah at his residence 'Cauvery' in Bengaluru. "Priyank Kharge had a discussion with the chief minister for about 10 minutes. The details of the discussion are not known," sources close to the minister told PTI. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

A civil jury in Ireland finds that mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor assaulted a woman in a hotel. (CORRECTS: A previous APNewsAlert misstated the claim the jury found him liable for.)The have traded , and three second-round picks to the for and , it was announced Sunday. The Lakers sent their own second-round picks in 2027, 2030 and 2031 to the Nets. Russell, the second overall pick in the 2015 draft, is averaging 12.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 26.3 minutes per game this season. The 28-year-old point guard returns to the Nets, where he played for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons, when he earned his only All-Star selection. The move gives the Lakers a versatile 3-and-D player in Finney-Smith. The 31-year-old averaged 10.4 points and 4.6 rebounds per game this season for the Nets, with whom he has played since arriving in the trade from the in February 2023. Finney-Smith is shooting a career-high 43.5% from 3 this season and is known as a high-level wing defender. Finney-Smith is the only player in the NBA this season to defend guards, forwards and centers each for at least 15 half-court matchups per game, according to Second Spectrum. He is on pace to average at least 10 points in a season for the second time in his career. Lakers coach JJ Redick has preached positional versatility and toughness in his roster -- attributes the franchise's addition should help with. Los Angeles also creates salary and luxury tax flexibility, saving a total of $15 million and moving $3.5 million below the second apron. Finney-Smith has a $15.4 million player option for next season. Redick and Finney-Smith were teammates with the Mavericks during the 2020-21 season. The Nets acquire draft capital and cleaner salaries moving forward, including Russell's expiring deal. Brooklyn now has 31 draft picks in the next seven years -- 15 first-rounders and 16 second-rounders -- to go along with over $60 million in cap space in the offseason. Earlier this month, the Nets traded to the for three second-round picks. Russell started the first eight games of the season for the Lakers until Redick changed the starting lineup after his team lost four out of five games. Despite the bench role, Russell's production had been on the uptick. His 13 points per game on 43.2% shooting from the field and 38.6% on 3-pointers in December was better than what he averaged in November (12.5 PPG on 41.7%/32.5%) and October (10.8 PPG on 36.7%/25%). Russell, despite being linked to trade discussions in February, was coming off a strong season in which he averaged 18.0 points on 45.6% shooting and 41.5% from 3 while setting a Lakers record for 3-pointers in a season with 226. When he greeted reporters during the Lakers annual media day in September, he said, "Surprise, surprise" -- acknowledging a somewhat unexpected turn of events for him to pick up his $18.7 million player option to return to L.A. after all the trade talks and another spotty postseason performance. Russell has been traded five times in the past 71⁄2 years. Lewis, a 22-year-old forward taken in the second round of the 2023 draft, has seen action in seven games this season, averaging 4.1 minutes. Milton, 28, was averaging 7.4 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists in his first season with the Nets. He is owed $3 million next season and $3.3 million in 2026-27. Milton is joining his sixth NBA team in less than two years, including his third trade in 11 months.

Dismissed Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes —Official Facebook page of Jonas Cortes CEBU CITY, Philippines — Supporters of dismissed Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes participated in an indignation rally to express their sentiments against a recent ruling of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to disqualify the local chief executive from seeking reelection due to allegations of “material misrepresentation.” The protesters gathered in front of the former Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) at around 5 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 23. Cortes was present during the rally, accompanied by his family and vowed to “fight until the end.“ He maintained that he did not lie in his Certificate of Candidacy (COC). READ: Comelec stops Mandaue mayor’s bid for reelection Cortes said his lawyers had already filed an appeal regarding the cancellation of his COC before the Comelec in Manila. He said he will bring the case up to the Supreme Court if the poll body does not rule in his favor. Cortes urged his political opponents not to use their connections with high-ranking national officials to prevent him from running in next year’s elections. “I am not afraid of Jonkie Ouano! I am not afraid of Lolipop Ouano! And above all, I am not afraid of (House Speaker) Martin Romualdez,” he said during the rally. Jonkie is Cortes’ lone opponent in the race for Mandaue City mayor in next year’s elections. Lolipop, on the other hand, is seeking reelection as congresswoman of Mandaue City’s lone district. In its ruling dated Dec. 18, the poll body’s second division said Cortes wrote “N/A” in response to questions on his COC about pending cases, docket numbers, and the status of any legal actions against him despite receiving a dismissal order from the Office of the Ombudsman on October 3, just one day before filing his COC. According to the poll body, section 74 of the Omnibus Election Code requires candidates to accurately state their eligibility for the office they are seeking. Section 78 of the same law allows the cancellation of a COC if any material representation is proven false. The Comelec said that the deliberate intent to mislead and the falsity of Cortes’s declarations warranted the cancellation of his COC. The decision stemmed from a petition filed by Cebu-based lawyer Ervin Estandarte who accused Cortes of deliberately misrepresenting his eligibility for the mayoral post. The Office of the Ombudsman earlier found Cortes liable for grave misconduct when he allowed a cement batching plant to operate without necessary business and environmental permits. The penalty carries a perpetual disqualification from public service. Subscribe to our daily newsletter By providing an email address.

Cortes is also serving a one year suspension without pay since August 2024 following another decision of the anti-graft office that found him liable for the “irregular designation” of an officer-in-charge of the City Social Welfare Services (CSWS) in 2022.
