Mangaluru, Jul 29: Various organisations including students groups and political parties have continued to press for a high level probe into the mysterious suicide case of Kavya Poojary, a Class 10 student of Alva’s High School, Moodbidri.

The 16 year-old girl, who was also a state level badminton player, was found hanging at her hostel room on the evening of July 20. She was rushed to a hospital, where she was declared dead. Her parents have termed it a murder.

Students groups like Students Federation of India, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, National Students Union of India, Campus Front of India, All college Student Union etc have staged separate demonstrations in last two days condemning the death and demanded high level probe into the case.

On the other hand, Democratic Youth Federation of India, Sri Ram Sena, Friends Ballalbagh Biruver Kudla etc also have demanded CID or CBI probe into the case. Sri Ram Sena has urged the government to immediately give Rs 25 lakh compensation to the kin of the girl.

Daughter of Lokesh and Baby couple from Yekkaru Devagudde near Kateel, the girl was staying in the Alva’s hostel for past one month. According to Moodbidri police, who brushed aside the murder allegation, she used a saree, said to be belonging to one of her roommates’ parents, to resort to the extreme step.

However, following the allegations by the parents, the commissioner of police T R Suresh has formed a team headed by Mangaluru North ACP Rajendra and asked them to conduct a detailed probe. The team also visited the hostel and institution to take stock of the situation.

Phone call clip goes viral

Meanwhile, an audio clip of phone call between Kavya and her family members on the eve of her death has gone viral on social media. Though it was said that she committed suicide under depression developed over securing very less marks in the exam, the audio clip indicates that she was very happy. The girl had also asked her parents to bring her lots of chocolates.

*ಶೋಬ ಕರಂದ್ಲಾಜೆ, ನಳೀನ್ ಕುಮಾರ್ ಕಟೀಲ್ ಕಾಣೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ*

ಕಾವ್ಯ ಎಂಬ ಅಮಾಯಕ ಹೆಣ್ಣು ಮಗಳು ಜೀವ ತೆತ್ತಿದ್ದಾಳೆ. ಆತ್ಮಹತ್ಯೆ ಯೋ ? ಕೊಲೆಯೋ ? ಏನೇ ಆಗಿರಲಿ. 
ಹಿಂದುವಿನ ಶವ ಬಿದ್ದರೆ, ಅದನ್ನು ಮುಸ್ಲಿಮರ ತಲೆಗೆ ಕಟ್ಟಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆ ಗೆ, ರಾಜ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಬೆಂಕಿ ಹಾಕಲು ಹೊರಟ ಬಿಜೆಪಿಯ ನಾಯಕರು ಕಾವ್ಯಳ ಮನೆಗೆ ಸೌಜನ್ಯದ ಭೇಟಿ ಮಾಡಿ ನ್ಯಾಯ ಸಿಗಬೇಕೆಂದು, ಕೇಂದ್ರ ದ ಎನ್ ಐ ತನಿಖೆ ನಡೆಸ ಬೇಕೆಂದು ಆಗ್ರಹಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ.

*ಕಾವ್ಯ ಹಿಂದು ವಲ್ಲವೇ  ?*

*ಕಾವ್ಯಳ ಸಾವು ಹಿಂದು ಧರ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ ಆದ ಅನ್ಯಾಯ ವಲ್ಲವೇ ?*

*ಬಿ ಸಿ ರೋಡ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಹತ್ಯೆ ಗೀಡಾದ ಶರತ್ ಗಿರುವ ಪ್ರತಿಭಟನೆ, ಬಂದ್ ,ಹೋರಾಟ, ಪರಿಹಾರ ಕಾವ್ಯಳಿಗೆ ಸಿಗಬೇಡವೆ ?*

*ಶೋಬಕ್ಕ, ನಳಿನಣ್ಣ ಕಾವ್ಯಳು ನಿಮ್ಮ ತಂಗಿಯಾದ ಹಿಂದೂ ಸಹೋದರಿ ಯಲ್ಲವೇ ?*

ಯಾಕೆ ಶರತ್ ಗೊಂದು ನೀತಿ ? ಕಾವ್ಯಳಿಗೊಂದು ನೀತಿ.?

ಕಾವ್ಯಾಳ ಸಾವಿನಿಂದ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಲಾಭ ಇಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರತಿಭಟನೆ, ಹೋರಾಟ ಇಲ್ಲವಾಯಿತೇ  ?

*ಉತ್ತರ ಸಿಗದ ಇಂತಹ ನೂರಾರು ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಗಳು ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಹಿಂದುವಿನ ಮನದಾಳದಿಂದ ಹೊರ ಬಂದಾಗ ಮಾತ್ರ ಹಿಂದು ಸ್ವಾಭಿಮಾನ ದಿಂದ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ದಾಳಕ್ಕೆ ಬಲಿಯಾಗದೆ ಬದುಕಬಲ್ಲನು.

ಹಿಂದುಗಳೇ, ಇನ್ನಾದರು ಎದ್ದೇಳಿ. ಡೊಂಗಿ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ದ ದಗಲ್ಬಾಜಿ ರಾಜಕಾರಣಿ ಗಳ ಓಟ್ ಬ್ಯಾಂಕ್ ಹಿಂದುತ್ವ ವನ್ನು ಬಹಿಷ್ಕಾರ ಹಾಕೋಣ.

*ಸುಂದರ, ಸುರತ್ಕಲ್*

Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 14: Amid Covid-19 lockdown,

Keralites celebrated a low key "Vishu" ,the Malayalam new year, on Tuesday, hoping that days of plenty, prosperity and peace will return.

People woke up in the early hours to see the auspicious "Vishu kani", symbolising hope, promise and fine prospects they wish to have in the year ahead.

The ritual comprises arranging on platters auspicious articles like seasonal fruits, vegetables, flower, gold and clothes which together form the first sight when the family members wake up on the Vishu day.

Normally, Keralites dressed in their traditional attire throng temples across the state.

However, this year due to the lockdown restrictions, temple visits were given a go by.

The famed Sri Krishna temple at Guruvayur and the Lord Ayyappa shrine at Sabarimala witnesses heavy rush of devotees during the vishu day.

But pilgrims were not allowed inside and only temple officials and security personnel were present for the"Vishu kani".

Rehaman, a small time trader, said very few people have come out for vishu purchases due to the restricitons.

It is fine as it is for a good cause, while Radha, a young woman said she could not celebrate the festival.

"We have no money, no job. With whatever little we have, we are celebrating the festival", she said.

87-year-old Vilasini Nambiar, a retired college professor, said vishu has visited the state during a most bewildering time.

"It should however remind us that every mountain must have its valley, desert its oasis, every storm cloud its rainbow, every night its day.

We are prepared to believe that we will overcome this misfortune", she said.

President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, Home minister, Amit Shah, Kerala Governor, Arif Mohammed Khan and Chief Minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, were among those who greeted people on the occasion of Vishu.

Bengaluru, July 17: The government of Karnataka has decided to issue caste and income certificates to Brahmins in the state to reduce the socio-economic inequality faced by the community.

“A notification has been issued to tehsildars in all 30 districts to issue caste and income certificates to Brahmins so that they can also benefit from the government schemes and scholarships,” a Revenue Department official told said.

The notification comes a month after the Karnataka State Brahmin Development Board on June 10 appealed to Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa to issue the certificates to the traditionally dominant community, which accounts for 3 per cent of the 7 crore state population.

“Though Brahmins are in ‘minority’ in terms of their population across the state, they need caste and income certificates to benefit from the welfare schemes meant for the economic weaker sections such as SC, ST and OBC groups,” the official said.

The board was set up in March 2019 as a state-run company with Rs 5 crore authorised capital and Rs 5 crore equity and is registered with the Registrar of Companies.

The notification was issued to the local bodies and taluk offices after several members of the community complained to state Revenue Minister R. Ashoka that they were unable to benefit from the welfare schemes in the absence of the certificates.

The certificates will also help students from the community to avail scholarships for higher studies from the state-funded board if their gross annual family income is less than Rs 8 lakh per year.

The board has also urged the state government to implement the 10 per cent quota for its community members under the economically weaker sections, as applicable for Central government jobs and admissions to central institutions.

Noting that every community has people who are forward and backward economically for various reasons, including historical, the official said the board would be empowered to serve the Brahmins.

“The board will provide interest-free loans to the financially weaker sections of the community,” said its Chairman H.S. Sachidananda Murthy.

Mangaluru, Jan 23: Members of the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) on Thursday held a protest against the Karnataka government, accusing it of shielding Aditya Rao, the main accused of planting an improvised explosive device (IED) at the Mangaluru airport on January 20.

Meanwhile, the Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Court has sent the accused Aditya Rao to 10 days police custody.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Bengaluru Police said that the procedure is being followed to hand-over to the Mangaluru Police a suspect who surrendered before it two days after planting an improvised explosive device (IED) at the Mangaluru International Airport.

The IED was later defused in an open field by the personnel of the bomb disposal squad.
