Mangaluru, Jul 8: Thousands of grief-stricken men and women, most of them activists of Sangh Parivar on Saturday bid a tearful adieu to Sharath Madivala, a 28-year-old RSS activist, who breathed his last at a hospital in Mangaluru last night after losing his three-day long fight for life.

The mortal remains of Sharath was taken from Mangaluru to his home town, Sajipa Munnur, in Bantwal taluk in a procession by thousands of Hindutva activists in spite of the enforcement of the prohibitory orders under Section 144 of Criminal Procedure Code across the district.

The procession caused chaos in BC Road, wherein some miscreants pelted stones at shops and vehicles belonging to a minority community. However, police managed to bring the situation under control by resorting to minor baton charge.

Tribute by Kalladka Bhat

In spite of the opposition by police, the mortal remains were kept for public viewing for a few minutes in front of the ‘Udaya Laundry’ in BC Road where Sharath was stabbed by the three unidentified miscreants on July 4.

Tears rolled down the eyes of RSS stalwart Prabhakar Bhat and his wife when they entered the ambulance and paid floral tribute to the mortal remains of the young and innocent ‘karyakarta’ of the Sangh. The mourners, who had gathered on both sides of the road too paid an emotional tribute to the departed soul by repeatedly chanting ‘Sharath Amar Rahe’.

Final rites

The funeral rites of Sharath took place at a garden located in front of his house at Kandur in Sajipa Munnur after an hour-long public viewing in the village. Thaniyappa Madivala, the victim’s father, lit the pyre in the presence of thousands of mourners and Sangh Parivar leaders.

After the cremation, a mourning meet was also held in the village. RSS leader Na Seetharam, speaking on the occasion urged the people not to lose their patience and to face the situation bravely. He said that society needed thousands of ‘patriots’ like Sharath.

Father breaks silence

A shell-shocked father blamed his own fate while expressing anger towards the government, which according to him failed to catch the real culprits.
“This is my bad luck. My son Sharath always helped me and tried to solve my problems. He was a hard worker. He never troubled anybody. People had a good opinion of him,” he said.

“The government is not capable of punishing the culprits. The killers will walk free within six months after their arrest,” he complained.

Hassan, Feb 19: A 19-year-old boy, in a bid to impress his girlfriend, stole a sports bike from an OLX seller but cops managed to reach him through her on Tuesday.

The accused, Pramod, who works at a bakery, had been involved in a bike-lifting case two years ago too.

On February 9, Pramod saw an advertisement on online marketing platform OLX from Puneeth, a farmer from Shravanabelagola town, who wanted to sell his sports bike for Rs 1.4 lakh. Pramod called him up and the two agreed to meet around 6pm that evening at Shravanabelagola town bus stand.

Once there, Pramod, a college dropout, assured Puneeth that he would buy the bike but wanted to take it for a test drive. The seller agreed. A few minutes passed and when there was no sign of the bike or Pramod, Puneeth tried calling him. The phone was switched off and could not be contacted since. Puneeth immediately filed a cheating case with the Shravanabelagola police.

SP R Srinivas Gowda and ASP BN Nandini put together a team and began tracing Pramod's call detail records. Maximum calls were made to a single number and it turned out to be his girlfriend's.

Cops called the girlfriend and on Tuesday, asked her to contact him and ascertain his location. They traced him near Hassan city's railway station and nabbed him along with the bike. On interrogation, Pramod confessed that he wanted to impress his girlfriend and take her on long drives on the sports bike.

Police said Pramod, who belongs to Bandithimmanahalli village of Alur taluk, dropped out of college two years ago and has been working at a bakery in Sahyadri Circle.

While working, he has been involved in several incidents of bike-lifting. Cops said he appeared to have strained relations with his family and had taken to crime to make a quick buck.

As the south-west monsoon advanced and intensified, heavy and widespread rains with gusty winds have been lashing 12 of the 30 districts across the state, wreaking havoc and disrupting normal life due to flooding, landslides, lakes and ponds overflowing, and rivers and their tributaries in the spate.

The affected districts have also been advised to conduct a survey of crop loss suffered by farmers for compensation under the centrally-sponsored Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana and the Weather Based Crop Insurance Schemes.

Deputy Commissioners have been told to take preventive measures to protect and provide relief to the people from heavy rains, floods and landslides in the affected districts.

"Yediyurappa also directed ministers in-charge of the districts to remain in their constituency and visit the affected areas to assess damage caused by the rains and flash floods for compensation and relief aid," noted the official.

The Chief Minister on Wednesday announced Rs 50 crore for rescue and relief operations in the affected districts across the state.

Meanwhile, the Meteorological department has issued a red alert on heavy rains in the affected districts of Kodagu, Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and Uttar Kannada in the coastal region and in Shivamoga, Chikkamagaluru, Hassan and Haveri in the Malnad region.
