Mangaluru, Feb 24: Notorious rapist and serial killer Mohan Kumar aka Cyanide Mohan, who had helped saffron groups to spread false rumors of so called “love jihad” and create communal riots, was on Friday convicted by the sixth additional district and sessions court in the murder case of a 28-year-old woman of Maladi of Meginamane in Bantwal Taluk. This is the fifth case of conviction among 20 murder cases filed against him.

Mohan, a teacher, allegedly poisoned about 20 young women to death using cyanide between 2003 and 2009 was convicted in four cases and was awarded the death sentence in 2013. In the fifth case, which took place in September, 2009, Mohan was found guilty and the quantum of punishment will be announced on February 24. He was convicted under Indian Penal Code Sections 302 (murder), 366 (kidnapping, abducting or inducing woman to compel her marriage), 376 (rape), 417 (cheating), 328 (causing hurt by means of poison), 392 (robbery) and 201 (destruction of evidence).

Cyanide Mohan had first contacted the victim at Madanthyar bus stand and introduced himself as Shashidhar Poojary and obtained her mobile phone number. Later he befriended with her and promised of marrying her. He asked her to come to BC Road Bus stand and took her to Hassan on September 24, 2009. Both stayed at ‘Ganesh Lodge’ in Hassan and had sexual intercourse.

The next day, Mohan asked her to remove all her gold ornaments, saying that they need to offer pooja in a nearby temple. Instead of going to the temple, he took her to Hassan bus stand. Later, on the pretext of providing her with a pill to prevent pregnancy, he made her  consume cyanide at women’s toilet in Hassan bus stand. After confirming the victim’s death, he returned to Ganesh lodge and made away with her gold ornaments. Later, he sold those gold ornaments to a jewellery merchant in city.

Puttur Additional Superintendent of Police Chandragupta and his team arrested the accused on September 21, 2010 and filed a charge-sheet at the court. When the case came to hearing at Sixth Additional and Sessions Court on February 23, Judge D T Puttarangawamy upheld the arguments of Public Prosecutor Judith O M Crasta and convicted the accused. Before the conviction, the judge examined 39 witnesses, 43 documents and 48 material objects. The quantum of the punishment will be announced on February 24.

Too late this process.

With all evidences, this is rarest of rare cases.

He has killed, raped, stolen many women. No mercy for him, even in prolonging the sentence.

Still there are many cases with other victims. It may take several years again to close all the cases against him.

 

It  is too late. Such cases should not go untll Supreme court or President. 

He should be hanged, fired in Hampankatta Maidan in public.

Rape and murder charges is ok. What about the other one. He had helped saffron to create communal riots. Put all charges. and he should get maximum punishment. Otherwise saffrons may help him to come out of jail

Bengaluru, June 11: Amulya Leona, a college student, who was charged with sedition for raising "Pakistan zindabad" slogans in Bengaluru, has finally been granted bail. 

The court had denied her bail yesterday, saying she might abscond. But her lawyers had been pursuing another way of getting her out of jail where she has spent nearly four months.

Ms Leona's advocate, Prasanna R, said that the delay of the state in submitting a chargesheet in the case beyond the stipulated time meant she was eligible for "default bail".

"The default bail application was moved before the magistrate under whose jurisdiction the alleged crime was committed. The chargesheet has not been submitted by the state within 90 days. So default bail has been granted. We had moved the default bail plea on May 26 and again on May 29 when the court told us the earlier mail IDs had been disabled. A physical application was filed on June 2. The state filed the chargesheet on June 3," the lawyer said.

While the state tried to argue that they were entitled to an extension in the time allotted, the court hearing this aspect of the case gave an order favourable to Ms Leona. The process is on to release her.

The arrest of Ms Leona during a rally against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act or CAA in Bengaluru had led to a debate on the use of sedition charges.

The woman on a Facebook post had also said "zindabad" to many countries including India and Pakistan. She did also try to chant "Hindustan zindabad", but was soon silenced and whisked away. She was accused of sedition, causing enmity between communities and causing deliberate mischief.
