Uppala, Sept 15: The Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has registered a suo motu case in connection with the death of a Class VI student from Uppala in the district.

The commission on Thursday directed the District Collector, Superintendent of Police, District Education Deputy Director, District Child Welfare Officer, District Medical Officer, and the Directorate of Public Instruction to furnish reports within a week.

The panel’s action follows the death of Ayisha Mehnaz, 11, daughter of Abdul Khader, a student of a school under the Uppala Manimunda Education Society.

There were reports that the girl was subjected to torture by two lady teachers of the school accusing her of copying the question paper in her answer sheet in a term examination.

The girl had undergone treatment at a Mangaluru hospital and returned home. However, the death of the girl on Tuesday at her residence sparked suspicion among the local people and a post-mortem examination was conducted at Pariyaram Medical College Hospital on Wednesday.

However, the preliminary report from the hospital attributed the girl’s death to a bout of epilepsy, Kumbla Circle Inspector V.V. Manoj said adding that the student had undergone treatment for neurological disorders earlier.

The police, as per a complaint lodged by a girl’s relative, registered a case under Cr.PC 174 (unnatural death), Mr. Manoj said.

Bengaluru, Jul 13: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Monday said that the state government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household in the wake of the coronavirus spread.

"Karnataka government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household to fight against COVID-19," Kumaraswamy told media.

The JDS leader further stated that "appropriate medication should be provided to those who are "symptomatic" by the Karnataka government and added that "by taking such measures the government can halt the spread of the virus."

If the government is not able to provide the health kit to everyone then at least they should give it to the BPL families, he added.

Kumaraswamy also stressed upon organising awareness campaigns about the coronavirus and use of supplements among the masses to prevent themselves from contracting the infection.

According to the Union Health Ministry, Karnataka has recorded 38,843 cases of COVID-19 to date.
