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, Aug 4: As the stage is set for the ground-breaking ceremony for Ram temple construction at Ayodhya on Wednesday, retired Supreme Court judge N Santosh Hegde has called for the promotion of religious harmony and peaceful coexistence and respect for different faiths.

"It is a good idea to make that as an object of the temple so that there can be peace in the world," the former Solicitor General of India said when asked if the temple should be promoted as a symbol of national integration, and social and communal harmony.

Hegde said one of the most dangerous things for conflict today is religion. "In that background, there should be some effort from somebody or other to bring about peaceful coexistence, respecting each religion," the former Karnataka Lokayukta told PTI on Tuesday. "It is a good idea to start Bhumi Pujan as an indicator of that or foundation for developing harmony among various religions," he added.

The Supreme Court had in November last year paved the way for the construction of a Ram temple by a Trust at the disputed site of the Babri Masjid's demolition in Ayodhya. It also directed the Centre to allot an alternative 5- acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a new mosque at a "prominent" place in the holy town in Uttar Pradesh. The Uttar Pradesh government has allotted a five-acre land in Dhannipur village in Sohaval Tehsil of Ayodhya for the mosque's construction.
