Mudigere, Jan 8: The police have arrested a local leader of BJP’s Yuva Morcha on charges of abetting suicide of a college student in Mudigere of Chikkamagaluru district.
20-year-old Dhanyashree, who belongs to Hindu community, had committed suicide on Saturday after group of Hindutva chauvinists barged into her house and created ruckus accusing her of flirting with Muslim boys.
“We have listed five accused as per the death note. Among them police have nabbed Anil. We will arrest other accused too,” said Chikkamagaluru Superintendent of Police K. Annamalai. Anil is an activist of Bajrang Dal and BJP Yuvamorcha.
According to the death note recovered from the suicide scene, Dhanyashree was upset as a gang of five Hindutva activists, including Anil abused, humiliated and threatened her.
“The five people had visited her home on Saturday evening and picked up an argument with the girl and her mother. The group had alleged that the girl was roaming with a Muslim boy and thereby she had become the cause of issues like Love Jihad. Upset over the development she committed suicide”, Mr. Annamalai told presspersons.
The police, after recovering the death note, registered a case of abetment to suicide. Two teams have been constituted to arrest those involved in the incident. The police have also recovered the girl’s phone for further investigation.
The police learnt that a picture where the girl was seen with the boy from another community was circulated widely through social media platforms.
“Many have made comments on the picture on social media platforms. We will arrest all those who harassed her either orally or through social media. We have taken the case seriously and our teams are working to arrest all the accused”, the SP said.

Anil is seen not only with Pratap Simha but also with C.T.Ravi - so called leaders who are eager to set Karnatakat on fire. Sangh Parivar's fascist face slowly unfolding.
