Mangalore, June 20: Akhila Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) activists on Monday demanded stern action against those responsible for the tragic end of the life of a 21 year old college student, who had committed suicide.

Saritha, daughter of Vasantha, had allegedly set herself ablaze after pouring kerosene in the bathroom of her house in Barebail near Kadri at around 11 am on Sunday.

Although it was not clear that what prompted Saritha, who was studying in final year B.Com at University College here, to take the extreme step, friends and classmates of the deceased have revealed that she was fed up of excessive eve-teasing by a bus-conductor and a group of miscreants.

The ABVP activists also submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner urging the district administration to convene a meeting of all bus conductors and drivers and also check their bio-data.

However, it is also said that the criticism and teasing in the friend circle on her frail figure prompted Saritha to end her life.

Meanwhile, Narayana Bhatta H R, the Principal of the College said that Saritha had not submitted any written complaint to her lecturer on the alleged eve-teasing, despite the availability of proper counselling system in the college.

A case of unnatural death has been registered at Kadri police station. The post mortem report is expected to be out by next week.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: Demanding the setting up of a House Committee to probe the Mangaluru violence, former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Friday released multiple videos of the clashes that broke out during the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protest that claimed two lives on December 19.

Janata Dal-Secular leader further demanded suspension of Police Commissioner PS Harsha and insisted that House Committee consisting of members of all the parties should be formed to probe into Mangaluru violence and said that magisterial inquiry ordered by the state government cannot be trusted.

"Constitute a House committee and produce the fact. The main culprit is the commissioner of Mangaluru, remove the officer as he is the main culprit. I am going to take this issue on the floor of the House." Kumaraswamy said during a press conference here.

Two people were killed in Mangaluru in the alleged police firing after protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act turned violent.

The Act grants Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh who entered India on or before 31, 2014.

Bengaluru, May 26: The Karnataka government has decided cancel summer vacation for undergraduate and post-graduate students and universities during the 2020-21 academic year in the wake of severe academic loss due to COVID-19 lockdown.

Keeping in mind the loss of academic days due to the lockdown to contain the pandemic, the Higher Education Department has decided to go in for ‘Zero Vacation’. 

The state government decided to cancel all holidays particularly the summer holidays after holding a series of meetings with the Vice Chancellors and other academicians from various parts of the state.

The decision was also communicated during the review meeting of the Higher Education Department held by CM Yediyurappa on Tuesday in Bengaluru.
