Mangaluru, Jul 29: Various organisations including students groups and political parties have continued to press for a high level probe into the mysterious suicide case of Kavya Poojary, a Class 10 student of Alva’s High School, Moodbidri.

The 16 year-old girl, who was also a state level badminton player, was found hanging at her hostel room on the evening of July 20. She was rushed to a hospital, where she was declared dead. Her parents have termed it a murder.

Students groups like Students Federation of India, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, National Students Union of India, Campus Front of India, All college Student Union etc have staged separate demonstrations in last two days condemning the death and demanded high level probe into the case.

On the other hand, Democratic Youth Federation of India, Sri Ram Sena, Friends Ballalbagh Biruver Kudla etc also have demanded CID or CBI probe into the case. Sri Ram Sena has urged the government to immediately give Rs 25 lakh compensation to the kin of the girl.

Daughter of Lokesh and Baby couple from Yekkaru Devagudde near Kateel, the girl was staying in the Alva’s hostel for past one month. According to Moodbidri police, who brushed aside the murder allegation, she used a saree, said to be belonging to one of her roommates’ parents, to resort to the extreme step.

However, following the allegations by the parents, the commissioner of police T R Suresh has formed a team headed by Mangaluru North ACP Rajendra and asked them to conduct a detailed probe. The team also visited the hostel and institution to take stock of the situation.

Phone call clip goes viral

Meanwhile, an audio clip of phone call between Kavya and her family members on the eve of her death has gone viral on social media. Though it was said that she committed suicide under depression developed over securing very less marks in the exam, the audio clip indicates that she was very happy. The girl had also asked her parents to bring her lots of chocolates.

*ಶೋಬ ಕರಂದ್ಲಾಜೆ, ನಳೀನ್ ಕುಮಾರ್ ಕಟೀಲ್ ಕಾಣೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ*

ಕಾವ್ಯ ಎಂಬ ಅಮಾಯಕ ಹೆಣ್ಣು ಮಗಳು ಜೀವ ತೆತ್ತಿದ್ದಾಳೆ. ಆತ್ಮಹತ್ಯೆ ಯೋ ? ಕೊಲೆಯೋ ? ಏನೇ ಆಗಿರಲಿ. 
ಹಿಂದುವಿನ ಶವ ಬಿದ್ದರೆ, ಅದನ್ನು ಮುಸ್ಲಿಮರ ತಲೆಗೆ ಕಟ್ಟಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆ ಗೆ, ರಾಜ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಬೆಂಕಿ ಹಾಕಲು ಹೊರಟ ಬಿಜೆಪಿಯ ನಾಯಕರು ಕಾವ್ಯಳ ಮನೆಗೆ ಸೌಜನ್ಯದ ಭೇಟಿ ಮಾಡಿ ನ್ಯಾಯ ಸಿಗಬೇಕೆಂದು, ಕೇಂದ್ರ ದ ಎನ್ ಐ ತನಿಖೆ ನಡೆಸ ಬೇಕೆಂದು ಆಗ್ರಹಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ.

*ಕಾವ್ಯ ಹಿಂದು ವಲ್ಲವೇ  ?*

*ಕಾವ್ಯಳ ಸಾವು ಹಿಂದು ಧರ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ ಆದ ಅನ್ಯಾಯ ವಲ್ಲವೇ ?*

*ಬಿ ಸಿ ರೋಡ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಹತ್ಯೆ ಗೀಡಾದ ಶರತ್ ಗಿರುವ ಪ್ರತಿಭಟನೆ, ಬಂದ್ ,ಹೋರಾಟ, ಪರಿಹಾರ ಕಾವ್ಯಳಿಗೆ ಸಿಗಬೇಡವೆ ?*

*ಶೋಬಕ್ಕ, ನಳಿನಣ್ಣ ಕಾವ್ಯಳು ನಿಮ್ಮ ತಂಗಿಯಾದ ಹಿಂದೂ ಸಹೋದರಿ ಯಲ್ಲವೇ ?*

ಯಾಕೆ ಶರತ್ ಗೊಂದು ನೀತಿ ? ಕಾವ್ಯಳಿಗೊಂದು ನೀತಿ.?

ಕಾವ್ಯಾಳ ಸಾವಿನಿಂದ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಲಾಭ ಇಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರತಿಭಟನೆ, ಹೋರಾಟ ಇಲ್ಲವಾಯಿತೇ  ?

*ಉತ್ತರ ಸಿಗದ ಇಂತಹ ನೂರಾರು ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಗಳು ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಹಿಂದುವಿನ ಮನದಾಳದಿಂದ ಹೊರ ಬಂದಾಗ ಮಾತ್ರ ಹಿಂದು ಸ್ವಾಭಿಮಾನ ದಿಂದ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ದಾಳಕ್ಕೆ ಬಲಿಯಾಗದೆ ಬದುಕಬಲ್ಲನು.

ಹಿಂದುಗಳೇ, ಇನ್ನಾದರು ಎದ್ದೇಳಿ. ಡೊಂಗಿ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ದ ದಗಲ್ಬಾಜಿ ರಾಜಕಾರಣಿ ಗಳ ಓಟ್ ಬ್ಯಾಂಕ್ ಹಿಂದುತ್ವ ವನ್ನು ಬಹಿಷ್ಕಾರ ಹಾಕೋಣ.

*ಸುಂದರ, ಸುರತ್ಕಲ್*

Kalaburagi, Jan 1: Fighting penury and partial blindness in one eye, a 39-year-old part-time Kannada lecturer from Kalaburagi district is set to become a commercial tax officer after cracking the Karnataka Administrative Services.

Ambadas Kamble, from Kotana Hipparaga village in Aland taluk, had to take a three-year gap during his school and college years - one-year break after completing Class VII and two years to clear subjects after he failed in II PU examinations. During those three years, he joined his brothers in masonry work to supplement the family's income.

Sweeping aside all hurdles with grit and determination, Ambadas studied Kannada literature for both undergraduate and postgraduate to land the post of a part-time lecturer in a Kalaburagi college. His father died when he was a child, and mother Chandamma supported her family of six - besides, Ambadas, she has two sons and two daughters - by working in houses in the neighbourhood.

Ambadas said he would like to dedicate his success to his mother, who died in the year 2012. "My mother encouraged me to chase my dream - financial difficulties notwithstanding - and allowed me to spend time in the library when my siblings were busy doing menial jobs to fund my education. I'm grateful to my brothers too," he said.

His two brothers are working as masons in Mumbai, having quit studies midway and deciding to support Ambadas - the first in the family to complete graduation. He did high school at Tadkal village in Aland taluk, and college in Kalaburagi.

The lecturer, who's 40% blind in the right eye, cracked the KAS examinations in his third attempt and stood 706th in the state. He has been selected for first-grade officer's post. Alongside, he's doing PhD in Kannada literature.

When his efforts finally paid off, Ambadas landed four job offers: Hostel warden at Morarji Desai hostel, at an SC/ST hostel, post of a lecturer and the tax officer's post. He picked the fourth to serve the state in right earnest.
