Magnaluru, Apr 14: In a shocking incident, city-based budding cartoonist and food blogger Nikhil Pai has allegedly committed under mysterious circumstances.

According to police, the 29-year-old ended his life by consuming poison. 

It is not yet clear what exactly persuaded the married man to resort to the extreme step. The police said he had gone out after quarrelling with his mother at home yesterday. When he did not return, his family filed a missing complaint on Sunday morning.

He was found dead in his apartment at Palemar on Sunday. The body was shifted to AJ Hospital and later handed over to family. The funeral was held at night.

He is survived by his mother, wife, and his younger sister.

Following his father's death two years ago, he had taken up the management of Deepak Sales and Services fuel pump at Baikampady.

An alumnus of St Aloysius College, Pai was a popular food blogger and one of the founders of ‘The Three Hungry Men’, said to be Mangaluru’s first and only food reviewing body.

He was an amateur cartoonist and used to contribute to coastaldigest.com. He was also a passionate traveler and visited many countries.

A case has been registered at jurisdictional Kavoor police station and investigations are on.

RIP. He was the happiest Mangalorean until his marriage. A thorough probe needed to bring the truth to light.

Bengaluru, Jul 19: A man protested in front of Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa's residence on Saturday alleging lack of medical care claimed the life of his one-month-old infant girl, police said on Saturday.

Venkatesh sat with the baby's photograph in front of the Chief Minister's house, saying the girl developed health issues on July 11 and he rushed her to a hospital, but it turned him away, the police said.

He said he had approached about a dozen hospitals and all of them refused to provide the baby any medical care. Eventually, the baby died.

This forced Venkatesh to hold a protest to draw the Chief Minister's attention to the issue, the police said.

The demonstration drew public attention and a few people joined him in the protest, they said.

“Officials will visit door to door to distribute the regularization letters and if any officials demand bribe bring to the notice of the government which will take action against such persons,” he said.

Bantwal, Jul 24: Former Union Minister B Janardhan Poojary on Friday said that people need to shed all their misconception regarding COVID-19 and stop taking it so lightly as it is not just any normal disease.

The 83-year-old politician who was tested positive for covid-19, was recently discharged from hospital after recovering completely.

Giving a word of caution, he said, “Earlier also there have been several diseases like Covid-19 and it has been eradicated. Even covid-19 will be eradicated. So, people should not get scared of the disease instead must fight with it”

“Also, covid-19 patients must not be treated like untouchables as those with symptoms may also not mention it due to the fear of being treated badly,” he added.
