July 3: The seven municipal councillors including chairman of the BMC health committee who allegedly assaulted the additional coroner Chandrakant D Kamble at the Cooper coroner’s court on Tuesday are missing.According to the Mumbai police the councillors “are not traceable anywhere.”

While the cops were trying to figure out their disappearance, Express Newsline spoke to several councillors accused in the case. Dr Ram Barot, who led the alleged assault, was amused at the news. “I spent most of my day at my clinic and am always readily available for the people and the police alike,” he said.

All accused corporators had also lambasted the coroner for misbehaving and insulting the people’s representatives in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) general body meeting on Wednesday. However, the police wants to arrest them when “they are not alert.” When asked about the delay in the arrests on Thursday evening, senior inspector of Juhu police station Shridhar Nikam said, “We have been sending police teams to arrest them, but none of them were available. Though we are putting in best of our efforts, we are unable to nab them.

I think it will take a couple of days more.” Regional Additional Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh was least bothered about arresting the councillors accused of a charge as serious as assaulting a person of the rank of a metropolitan magistrate. “I do not know the latest developments. The zonal DCO or the Juhu police station would tell you more about it,” was all Singh had to say.

Premji said that Wipro would partner with the Government "to find a lasting solution for Bengaluru's mobility challenges".
