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, Feb 4: Karnataka High Court on Monday reserved order on plea, seeking cancellation of bail granted to Nithyananda for skipping the trial and fleeing the country.

After hearing the arguments, the court has reserved the matter for further orders which will be pronounced on February 5.

The plea, which was filed in the high court on January 23, was heard by Justice John Michael Cunha.

The counsel for the complainant Lenin put forth arguments that the self-styled godman Swami Nithyananda had fled the country to escape the trial. "Nityananda has been claiming to be in India in his exemption petitions filed before the trial court but during that time he sought asylum in Ecuador and is having a second passport," said Lenin.

The prosecutor informed the court that they do not need his presence for the trial at this time.

Nithyananda, accused of rape and child abuse, has been absconding since November 2018.

In December 2019, the Ministry of External Affairs said that the passport of Nithyananda was cancelled and a fresh application of the same was denied as he did not get the requisite clearance from police and several criminal cases have been lodged against him.

Police in Ahmedabad had arrested two woman administrators of the ashram, allegedly owned by Nithyananda, and freed two boys who were held captive there.

Two of his disciples, Pranpriya and Priyatattva, were arrested on the basis of a complaint filed by one Janardhan Sharma who alleged that his daughter was held captive in Nithyananda's ashram.

The police took the two women to Nithyananda's ashram in Hathiajan for an investigation and seized laptops, mobile phones among other things.
