hanging-suicide Mandya, Apr 21: A youth's death has raised suspicions of honour killing at Sindaghatta village in Mandya district on Wednesday. The youth, identified as Nagesh, was found hanging from a tree.

His reported affair with a Dalit girl has raised suspicions over his death. Nagesh was in love with the girl from Sarangi village.

The girl, who became pregnant from her relationship with Nagesh, started pestering him to marry her. But Nagesh went absconding.

While some villagers claim Nagesh may have committed suicide out of fear, others say it is honour killing. Nagesh's parents Shanthamma and Krishnegowda have lodged a complaint.

Bengaluru, Jul 22: Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar on Tuesday said that the state government should give details of the amount it spent on migrants and labourers during the coronavirus crisis if it is transparent.

"The image of Karnataka has come to a very rotten position. We all know that Karnataka has failed in sorting out the problem. Let them (the state government) tell what has been the amount spent on the labour, migrants, food kits on the health department. We want an account (of the expenditure) if they are so transparent," Shivakumar said.

He said that the state government should have approached the hospitals for treating COVID-19 patients and if any hospital refused, a message should have been given that the government would take it over.

He also accused the state government of corruption.
