Chikkamagaluru, Jan 11: K Annamalai, the superintendent of police of Chikkamagaluru has warned the saffron groups without naming them against trying to mislead people and pressurize police in connection with the death of Dhanyashree, a 20-year-old student of Mudigere’s DSBG college.

Dhanyashree, who belongs to Hindu community, had committed suicide on Saturday after group of Hindutva chauvinists barged into her house and created ruckus accusing her of flirting with Muslim boys. In her death note the Hindu girl had named five Hindutva activists. Among them BJP Yuva Morcha activist Anil has already been arrested.

Speaking to media persons here on Wednesday, SP said that some persons (activists of saffron groups) have been pressurizing Dhanyashree's father Yadav Suvarna to furnish wrong information. Those miscreants have been identified and cases will be booked against them, he said.

He said that the details furnished by Yadav Suvarna in his fresh complaint and the facts in Dhanyashri's death note are contradictory.

He added that police have obtained proof of the attempt to mislead the investigation. "Cases will be booked against the those who tried to mislead investigation and action will be initiated against them under IPC Section 182," he said.

Stating that the police had registered a complaint filed by Dhanyashree’s mother Saraswathi on January 7 and that the police had read out her complaint before her, Annamalai said the entire process has been videographed.

Flaying leaders of few (saffron) groups for issuing statements before the media, especially those who are accused in the case, Annamalai said that those accused in the incident should not issue media statements. "A few TV channels (that aired statements of the miscreants) too will be issued a notice in this regard," he said.

Referring to a Facebook post that said "the Police Sub Inspector (investigating the case) is working towards getting CM's medal and insulting his (PSI) religion," the SP said that a case has been booked against the person who wrote this post. Cases under IPC 353, 353A will be booked against the leader, he said and added that an additional section IPC 153A (disrupting harmony) will be added to the existing section IPC 306 (abetment to suicide).

To another query on those who claimed to be members of Bajrang Dal and issued warnings to female students on WhatsApp, the SP said that four persons have been identified and all of them are from Mudigiere and cases will be booked against them as well.

The SP also said that the identity of the person who had a chat with Dhanyashree and who abused her and her mother has been ascertained and a special team has been formed to nab them. Teams have been sent to Belagavi and Kalburgi too and the accused will be nabbed soon, the SP added.

Mangaluru, May 7: The Dakshina Kannada District Muslim Okkoota has strongly condemned permit for opening of textile and footwear shops across the district at a time when the number of Covid-19 positive cases are on the rise.

In a press note here on Thursday, former Mayor and Okoota President Ashraf alleged that the permission to open the shops at a time when Eid-ul-Fitr was nearing would lead to rush in the shops in turn bringing in fear of spread of Covid-19. 

He expressed his resentment over the fact that the administration has neglected the appeal made by the Okkoota as well as the Qazi of Udupi against permitting textile shops during the lockdown period.

He warned that the administration, district in-charge Minister, MLA and MP themselves will be responsible in case of increased infection cases due to this decision.

The district in-charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary yesterday had announced that textile shops in the district can be opened from May 7.
