Udupi, Jun 14: A kin of a young woman, who died after giving birth to a child at a private hospital here, last week allegedly due to the doctor's negligence, took to social media to create awareness against killer doctor'. The post on Facebook was shared by thousands of people within a day and it also went viral on WhatsApp.

According to the Facebook post uploaded by one Kanni Rajan, 23-year-old Shruthi Suvarna, died on June 10 during caesarean because of the negligence by a female gynaecologist at Gandhi Hospital.

The post claimed that the doctor initially gave Shruthi a pain killer injection and when she was in labour, the baby stuck halfway. So the doctor tried to perform a caesarean and “while operating she (the doctor) cut the main blood nerve.”

The doctor couldn't stop the bleeding, which led to Shruthi's death, the post alleged, adding that she was the fourth victim of the same doctor.

Shruthi, who hailed from Pangala in Udupi, had married her friend Sandeep, a year ago. According to the Facebook post, both the husband and wife were working for a company called Landmark'.

According to hospital sources, the newborn baby, who is deprived of breast-feeding mother's care, is healthy.

Even though the family members of the victim lodged a complaint with Udupi Town Police, no action was taken against the doctor or hospital so far.

“If it is a medico legal case', the victim's relatives should have informed the police immediately after the death. But, now they have already cremated the body. A post mortem would have been the strong evidence to prove what had gone wrong,” police sources said.

(Note: The Facebook post has also revealed the name of the doctor. Coastaldigest.com avoided it as no FIR was registered against her)

Udupi, Apr 24: While several state governments and NGOs are actively working to provide essentials to the needy amid the COVID-19 lockdown, a fisherwoman in Karnataka's Udupi has proved that even a small gesture of help for others can make a huge difference in the society.
A fisherwoman, Sharadakka, distributed rice to 140 needy families in her neighbourhood during the ongoing lockdown. The contribution was made by spending all her life savings amounting to Rs 30,000. The amount was saved by her over a period of time in an effort to build a house for herself.
On Thursday Udupi Deputy Commissioner G. Jagadeesh visited her and ensured help to build her house.
"Spending her meagre earnings, Sharadakka generously filled many empty stomachs amid the nation-wide lockdown, which is a matter of pride," said the Deputy Commissioner.

Bengaluru, Jan 5: BJP leader and Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa once again blamed the Congress of creating 'confusion' among the Muslim community over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act-2019 while launching a door to door campaign to dispel such rumors.

Yediyurappa was on a door-to-door campaign to make people aware of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and to allay their fears.

"Unnecessarily, the members of Congress are creating confusion among the Muslim community. I assure you that not a single Muslim will be affected because of CAA," said B. S. Yediyurappa.

"Almost all previous Prime Ministers have supported it, now Congress is creating a problem so as to create confusion among Muslims. That's why we are out on the door-to-door campaign," he said.

The Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019, seeks to grant Indian citizenship to Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.

Mangaluru, Feb 27: An utterly unprofessional thief, who fell asleep after breaking into a house, was caught by the house owner and handed over to the police in the coastal district of Dakshina Kannada.

The hilarious incident took place on Wednesday in the one-storey, tiled-roof house owned by Sudarshan at Ullas Junction under the limits of Uppinangady police station.

The thief, who gained entry into the house by removing the roof-tiles, has been identified as Anil Sahani, a native of Bihar’s Majipur district. He was snoring on the sofa with a set of keys clutched in his hand when the house owner woke up in the morning.

The house owner, who was sure that the thief was drunk, woke him up by hitting him with a stick and then handed him over to the police.

According to police, the thief was tired after removing the tiles on Tuesday night and hence he decided to take a nap soon after entering the house.

He grabbed a bunch of keys kept near the TV stand and then lied down on the sofa. He woke up only when the house owner hit him with a stick the next morning.
