Vijayapura, Dec 23: With the help of district police, the CID has managed to arrest four persons in connection with the brutal rape and murder of the minor girl belonging to a Dalit community.

CID’s investigating officer Ananda Kumar told presspersons on Friday that Sagar More, Srishail Muchakandi, Kailash Rathod, and the main accused, Deepak Mulasavalagi, had been arrested from various parts of the district and Maharashtra.

He said though the case was registered only against Deepak, the others had also been arrested since their names had also surfaced. Mr. Kumar said they were on the lookout for three more persons. The district police had visited various districts in Karnataka and Maharashtra to nab the culprits, he said.

Meanwhile local MLA Raju Algur has revealed that all the accused were associated with saffron (Hindutva) outfits. 

The official, though refused to comment on MLA’s statement, did not rule out the possibility of seeking the help of the cybercell to find out whether they had links with any organisation, through their Facebook accounts. Replying to a question, he said the police did not find drugs in the room where the girl was allegedly raped.

The incident which occurred on Tuesday triggered Statewide outrage.

The so called rescuers of sisters are raping and murdering girls from Dalit community.   We have no words to condemn this brutual act.  However, it is surprising that self called saviors of sisters and most patriots of nation are hiding in the caves as if they dont know anything.  Its really a shape.  They agitate only on false issues and try to create disturbance in public.  The murderers of this Dalit girl should be hanged in public and Govt should not bow to pressure from any political party.    Dalits and minorities should unite and strongly agitate on this brutual murder.    Its strange that peace loving Shoba who shouted on the issue of a college girl in Honnavar who injured herself is hiding now.   Is she sick and hospitalised?   Pity on her.

Dubai, Feb 13: An Indian expatriate found to be infected with coronavirus in the UAE on February 10 is in a stable condition, the Indian Embassy told Gulf News.

“The Indian is a 36-year-old male,” an embassy official said, adding “he a resident of the UAE”.

However, the official did not say if the man had any travel history to China and also refused to divulge which state he hailed from.

On February 10, the Ministry of Health said the Indian national was found infected with coronavirus in the latest such case in the UAE. “The Indian national had interacted with a recently diagnosed person,” the ministry had said in a statement.

"All reported cases are in stable condition, except for one case, who is being put under close observation by a team of senior consultants at the Intensive Care Unit," added the statement.

The man is among the eight cases of coronavirus detected in the UAE so far. Others include six Chinese nationals and one from Philippines.

Earlier this week, the UAE announced that one of the infected patients, a 73-year-old Chinese national, Liu Yujia, had recovered.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.
