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.

"We were walking on the road. The boy walked up and took something from his pocket and attacked the girl. Before we could do anything he had stabbed her several times," said an eyewitness.

Though the exact reason for the attack is yet to be known, college sources said that the Akshata had turned down Kartik’s proposal several times in the past. He had reportedly started harassing her after she rejected his proposals. A case has been registered in Sullia town police station and investigations are on.

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, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.

Bengaluru, Feb 25: A day after Karnataka minister BC Patil felt the need for a law to shoot people who raise pro-Pakistan and anti-India slogans, another BJP MLA on Monday said such people should be shot at sight or exiled to the neighbouring country.

Appachu Ranjan, MLA from Madikeri, said a woman named Amulya had raised Pakistan Zindabad slogan at Bengaluru during a CAA-related meeting.

"People saying Pakistan Zindabad, despite living in our country- eating food and drinking water available here- they should be shot at sight. Or else such people should be exiled to Pakistan, and no one should should show softness towards them and fight cases in their favour," he said at Somwarpet in Kodagu.

Amulya Leona, a woman who raised pro-Pakistan slogans at an anti-Citizenship Amendment Act rally in Bengaluru on Thursday, has been booked for sedition and remanded to judicial custody.

She had raised "Pakistan Zindabad" slogans thrice after the organisers, under the banner of "Save the Constitution", invited her to address the gathering in the presence of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi.

Agriculture minister Patil on Sunday had expressed the need for a legislation to shoot such people, and said he would make a request to the prime minister in this regard. "A law should be brought in the country that who ever raises slogans against India and in favour of Pakistan, they should be shot at sight. Bringing such a law is important," Patil had said.
