Hassan, May 14: A day after a 26-year-old married woman allegedly committed suicide by overdosing on unidentified tablets, the victim’s father on Monday accused her husband of driving her to take an extreme step.

MK Ashwini, 26, married her then boyfriend Adithya, a resident of Shankaripuram in Hassan district, three years ago. The couple tied the knot at the sub-registrar’s office. Things turned sour in their marital life once Adithya, a businessman, incurred massive losses. He allegedly started to harass Ashwini, demanding a dowry. Ashwini’s father Krishna Kumar alleged that Adithya’s constant demand for dowry forced her to take her life. In his complaint, Kumar alleged that her daughter had admitted to being under mental duress at her in-laws’ house, following which he had paid her a visit. “On Sunday, I received a call from Ashwini’s husband informing me that she was dead,” Kumar’s complaint read.

An FIR has been registered in connection with the case at Hassan Extension Police Station, and a team has been formed to nab Adithya, and members of his family.

Use our money for corona patients. Dont waste tax payers money.

For Ayodhya pilgrims, Spend from your BJP looted money.

Our ruling govt is only interested in RAM Mandir and spending crores of rupees for the temple. Why the other community is not demanding fund from the GOVT?

Not bothered about the development of the country as currently we have no idea how to tackle the corona viurs. Ministers are keen on builing Guest house for pilgrims, Statue of RAM etc etc.

Please concentrate on how to minimise the Virus issue in KARNAKATA like other Gulf countries.

Private schools in DK, Udupi urge govt to release reimburse fee under RTE

News Network

June 14,2020

Mangaluru, June 14: Private schools under the aegis of Association of English Medium Schools in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi urged the State government to reimburse the arrears of the fee related to admission of students under the Right to Education (RTE) Act.

Speaking to newsmen here on Sunday association president Y. Mohammed Beary said the State government has not cleared the arrears for the last two years. “The 400 private schools in two districts have to get around Rs 2 crore,” he said and added that the overall arrears that the government has to pay to schools in the State are around Rs1,200 crore.

Mr. Beary said arrears have made the school managements like his, who collect annual fees of about Rs 20,000 from a student, hard to function. Due to lockdown from March the schools could not conduct annual examinations and hence they could not collect pending fees from parents.
