Mysuru, Mar 2: In a fresh case of so called honour killing, a casteist man belonging to Vokkaliga community killed his own daughter for being in love with a boy belonging to Dalit community at Gollanabeedu village in HD Kote taluk of Mysuru district.

The victim has been identified as Sushma (22), daughter of Kumar who was arrested by police on Thursday on charge of poisoning the former to death and later burning her body secretly in the field.

Sushma, who was in love with Umesh, a resident of Alanahalli village on the outskirts of Mysuru, had eloped with him two years ago. A few village elders had brought the girl back to the village after advising both Umesh and Sushma to stay away from each other.

Sushma’s parents recently asked her to marry a boy from their community. However, she opposed the marriage and was adamant on marrying only Umesh. In a fit of rage, her parents had allegedly poisoned her on February 22 and burnt her body in their field. They had even ploughed their land so that the villagers do not doubt them. As Sushma disappeared suddenly, it raised suspicion among the villagers. Her relatives alerted the police, after which the incident came to light.

Police, who arrested Kumar, brought him to the land where he had burnt the body of his daughter, and conducted a mahazar. Additional SP Rudramuni said that one of the constables, who came to know that Kumar had killed his daughter and burnt the body, immediately brought it to the notice of the higher officials. A suo motu case was registered and a probe conducted, he said.

Bengaluru, Feb 28: BS Yediyurappa’s contribution to the economy is substantial, and he is one CM who has contributed largely to making India the fifth largest economy, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday.

“He will ensure that Karnataka contributes towards making India the third-largest economy in the coming days,” Singh said, who had flown from New Delhi to participate in the CM’s birthday celebrations.

Singh recalled Yediyurappa asking him how to increase welfare measures for farmers, and had suggested that the CM reduce interest rates on loans to help the community. “Yediyurappa took the suggestion seriously and reduced interest of loans to a mere 4 % and gradually reduced it to 1 % before coming down to zero,” Singh said, appreciating Yediyurappa’s love for farmers.

Bengaluru, Jun 20: Continuing with the easing of restrictions under 'Unlock 1.0', the Karnataka government on Saturday authorised local bodies to fix timing for opening of public parks other than those in the containment zones between 5 am to 9 pm.

It has also mandated adhering to all the national directives issued to contain the spread of COVID-19 and the guidelines issued by the state government in this connection.

Noting that the government has been relaxing conditions under unlock 1.0, Principal Secretary Revenue N Manjunath Prasad, who is also the member secretary of the state disaster management authority in an order said, local bodies have been asked to set the timing between 5 am to 9 pm to open all parks that come under them and the government.

It said this would be applicable to only those parks that come outside the containment zones. Earlier in May, while relaxing the lockdown norms, the government had set 7 am to 9 am and from 5 pm to 7 pm for the opening of parks.

Bantwal, Jun 26: A day after expressing gratitude for the overwhelming response from students for the SSLC examinations, Karnataka Minister for Primary and Secondary Education S Suresh Kumar on Friday took to Twitter to laud a student who didn’t let his physical hurdles deter him from writing the examination.

Sharing image of the student, Kaushik, who wrote the SSLC examination at Bantwal’s SVS High School, the Minister said that he was taken aback by the boy’s spirit for writing the exam independently without relying on anyone’s help. Such individuals give new meaning to life. Others should learn from this.

In the picture, Kaushik is seen seated on the floor and using his toes to write answers.
