She was found murdered at the Infosys office in Pune on Sunday and the police had arrested security guard Bhaben Saikia from Assam for the crime.

Infosys offered the Rasila family a compensation of Rs 1 crore and a job for one of her relatives.

"In the tragic event of the demise of any employee under unfortunate circumstances, as happened in this instance with our employee, OP Rasila, in Pune, Infosys ensures that the next of kin of the deceased employee does not suffer financially in any way," Infosys said in a statement issued tonight.

The statement said that towards ensuring financial stability for the family, Infosys takes into account the statutory payments to be made as per the company policy.

"The company also considers ex-gratia payments based on the circumstances. Infosys also endeavours to make every effort at a suitable employment opportunity for the next of kin who qualify its recruitment criteria," it said.

Meanwhile, a senior office-bearer of the 'Pune Kerala Samaj' has claimed Infosys has issued a letter to the family of Rasila, agreeing to pay "Rs one crore as ex-gratia" to her nominee.

Repeated calls to Infosys officials for reaction on the claims regarding issuance of the letter remained unanswered.

Rasila's father Raju OP along with Malyali community members had visited Infosys officials on Pune campus on Monday night.

Her mortal remains were cremated today at her village in Kozhikode district in presence of a large number of people.

Meanwhile, Congress in Kerala on Tuesday demanded a comprehensive probe into the techie's murder.

In a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devandra Fadnavis, Leader of the Opposition in the Kerala assembly, Ramesh Chennithala, said he had visited the relatives of Rasila at Kozhikode this morning.

"There is some mystery in the murder and some others had a role in her death, Rasila's relatives informed me. Besides, the family also complained that there was a serious lapse on the part of the company," he said.

Police had on Monday arrested Bhaben Saikia, a security guard from a private security services firm deployed at the Infosys campus, in connection with the murder.

According to police, Rasila had chided Saikia for "staring" at her and threatened to complain against him.

Changing Ramanagara's name an insult to Sri Rama: HDK

News Network

January 5,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 5: Lambasting Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa over the proposal to rename Ramanagara as Nava Bengaluru, former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Sunday said that such a move will be an insult to Lord Ram, after whom the district is named.

In a series of tweets, Kumaraswamy accused that renaming the district was a pretext to sell its fertile irrigated land to capitalists. Yediyurappa also wants to settle a score with me by renaming it, he alleged

"If Yediyurappa wishes to develop Ramanagara, he should release the funds allocated in the budget. If you want to develop it further, you will find support from me and my people. But, don't set fire to the districts' culture and identity by changing its name," he tweeted.

Shaheen school sedition case: Cops question kids again and again

News Network

February 5,2020

Bidar, Feb 5: The police has intensified investigation into the 'sedition case' against the management and staff of a school here, where children are facing chare of insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and others, in the context of CAA, in a drama they staged on January 21.

The police again visited Shaheen School on Tuesday and questioned children and staff -- this time in plain clothes, after their questioning of children in uniform on January 28 drew criticism from some quarters, a school official said.

"Morning three police personnel came with two members of Karnataka State Child Rights Protection Commission. Later, the deputy superintendent of police H Basaveshwara joined them.

The cops were in civil dress," the official said.

The police have been questioning the children and staff about those who wrote the script and assigned to deliver specific dialogues.

Police have already arrested Nazbunnisa, the mother of one of the children, who had allegedly delivered the controversial dialogue and their teacher Fareeda Begum, who oversaw the event.

When contacted, the deputy superintendent of police of Bidar H Basaveshwara refused to comment on the matter saying that he was still investigating the case.

Meanwhile in Bengaluru, Congress MLA and former minister U T Khader slammed the BJP government in the state as well as the Centre for "filing sedition charges against people".

Addressing a press conference, he alleged that the Central and state governments were trying to suppress the voice of people in the country using law enforcement agencies.

Khader claimed that the two women who "depicted the problems they were facing" in the drama were booked under the sedition law. During investigation, the children were forced to sit at the police station, he alleged.
