Mangaluru, Feb 20: In yet another crime of passion, a jilted lover stabbed a girl to death in broad daylight and then allegedly attempted to kill self before being caught at Sullia in Dakshina Kannada district on Tuesday. 

The victim has been identified as Akshata, a second year BSc student of NMC College in Sullia, and a native of Kasaragod in Kerala. The accused, identified as Karthik, son of Chandrashekhar, hailing from Nellur Kemraje, is also pursuing BSc in the same college. 

The brutal attack took place at around 4 p.m. on the road near Rotary School in Sullia town when the girl was returning from the college after finishing classes. The accused pulled the girl towards him and stabbed her seven times. Then he slit his hand using same knife in suicide bid. 

The girl breathed her last in a vehicle while being taken to a Mangaluru hospital after preliminary treatment at a local private hospital.

Humanity lost another precious life, may God Almighty bless both victim's & accused family to come out of this tragic loss and shock. Because of the division created by power hungry politicians and ungodly religious leaders, we are forced to view every incident through COMMUNAL angle, very disappointing. May God show mercy on us!!

I heard that BJP leaders are extremely disappointed because they lost an issue as the accused doesn’t belong to Muslim community.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: Working President of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee, Eashwar Khandre on Friday said that his party has extended its support to the demand made by the former chief minister of Karnataka, HD Kumaraswamy, that a House Committee should be formed to probe into Mangaluru violence.

Emphasising the need for a judicial probe into the incident, Khandre said, "Congress has always said that the truth should prevail and that there should be a judicial inquiry and investigation by a sitting Supreme Court judge or a High Court judge into the incident."

"We support his (HD Kumaraswamy) statement that a House Committee should be set up to probe into the incident of Mangaluru violence. Two innocent people lost their lives during the anti-CAA protest, it is very unfortunate," he added.

Two people were killed in Mangaluru in the alleged police firing after protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act turned violent on December 19.

The Act grants Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh who entered India on or before 31, 2014.

Gadag, Aug 1: A woman in Gadag district of Karnataka mortgaged her 'mangalsutra' to buy a television set for her children following the Karnataka government's decision to continue the classes through TV amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A resident of Radder Naganur village, Kasturi, who is also a mother of two, purchased a television set against her 'mangalsutra' for Rs 14,000. She bought the TV after her children's school teachers asked them to attend classes via the television set.

Kasturi said, "I can not send the children to the neighbours' house every day and it was necessary for them to study. We had no other option but to buy a TV set."

She said, "Both, my husband and I are daily wage workers and during coronavirus, we do not have work or money."

"I sold my 'mangalsutra' for Rs 20,000 and bought a TV for Rs 14,000," said Kasturi while happily adding, "Now, my kids can study at home itself."

Kasturi's daughter, Surekha said, "We did not have the TV for several months but now when we have it, we will study and get a bigger 'mangalsutra' for my mother."
