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*

Bengaluru, Jun 9: JD(S) patriarch H D Deve Gowda on Tuesday filed his nomination as party's candidate for June 19 Rajya Sabha elections from Karnataka.

The former Prime Minister was accompanied by his sons former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy and former Minister H D Revanna, state JD(S) chief H K Kumaraswamy and others, as he filed his papers at the office of Legislative Assembly Secretary M K Vishalakshi, who is the returning officer for the polls. JD(S) on Monday had announced that Gowda will be contesting the Rajya Sabha polls.

Announcing the decision, Kumaraswamy had said Gowda decided to contest following the request of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, several national leaders and party legislators, and it was not an easy task to "persuade" him to enter the Rajya Sabha.

The JD(S), which has 34 seats in the assembly, is not in a position to win a seat in Rajya Sabha on its own and will need support from the Congress with its surplus votes. A minimum of 45 votes are required for a candidate to win. If he wins, this will be the second Rajya Sabha entry for 87-year-old Gowda, the first time being in 1996 as the Prime Minister.

Gowda was defeated in Tumkur constituency by BJP's G S Basavaraj by over 13,000 votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. As joint candidate of the then ruling Congress-JDS coalition, Gowda had chosen to contest from Tumkur at the last minute after vacating Hassan-his home turf, to grandson Prajwal Revanna (a current MP).

Election is scheduled on June 19 to fill four Rajya Sabha seats from Karnataka, represented by Rajeev Gowda and BK Hariprasad of Congress, Prabhakar Kore of the BJP and D Kupendra Reddy of JD(S) that will fall vacant on June 25, with their retirement. Today is the last date for filing nominations. With BJP not fielding any candidate against Gowda, his election is likely to be unanimous.

Bengaluru, Feb 11: Onion price dropped to Rs 25-30 per kg on Monday, down from the dizzying Rs 200/kg in December and January. The price had spiked because of excess rain, which ruined the crop in several parts of the country.

With supply stabilising, especially from Maharashtra and northern Karnataka, and exports banned, the rate is now easing, officials said.

Consumers may be smiling but farmers are worried as they are not able to make more than Rs 17/kg as against the expected Rs 40.

"We get onions from Nasik and Sholapur in Maharashtra. Nasik onions used to be exported but since that is currently banned, they are landing in Bengaluru, leaving the market here with a surplus," said K Lokesh, president, Karnataka State Onion Merchants Association.

A farmer from Sholapur wh o was part of a onion growers' delegation which met traders in Bengaluru, said, "The cost of everything has gone up. Labour charges and fuel prices are draining us. How can we survive? How can I pay for my children's education?"

Another Sholapur farmer rued: "My daughter's wedding is in March. How am I going to meet all the expenses? I have to pay for labour, transportation, gunny bags and when everything adds up, I don't get to save more than Rs 30,000 in a month."
