Mangalore, June 28: The lives of female staff at E.S.I Hospital have turned miserable because of Dr. Gopalkrishna K, who is harassing them mentally as well as sexually, alleged Rajaram T, member, Karnataka Dalit Sangharsha Samithi(DSS).

Addressing the media persons here on Tuesday, he said that Nalini, who has been working in the hospital for the last 31 years, had been cheated by Dr. Gopalkrishna. “She had submitted an application asking for loan along with another staff Gita. Nalini's application was rejected by Gopalkrishna citing government reasons. But at the same time her application was used to forge her thumb impression as well as her signature to provided loan to Gita on her assurance. When Nalini came to know about this conspiracy, she asked to give back her application but in the return was assaulted by Gopalkrishna”, Rajaram alleged.

Rajaram groused that police officers also rejected to file a case against Gopalkrishna, following which a case of passing the loan with forge signature has been filed at second additional CJM court.

He also said that a number of female staff have written letters to the health minister and deputy commissioner complaining the ill nature of their superior demanding his dismissal so that they can feel secure in their working place.

Ramesh Kotyan, District Convener, Karnataka Dalit Sangharsh Samithi, Rohit Ullal, Kiran Kumar, and Keshav, Husband of Nalini were present at the meet.

4 pistols found near Belagavi were used by Gauri Lankesh’s killers for training?

News Network

February 12,2020

Belagavi, 12: Even though the investigation into the four abandoned country pistols that were recovered by the Karnataka police on the outskirts of Waghawade village in Belagavi taluk last weekend did not make any headway, the police are verifying if the weapons had been used by the assassin of Gauri Lankesh for training.

Four country pistols were found abandoned on the outskirts of Waghawade on Sunday. Locals informed that the police had taken the weapons for inspection.

Prima facie it appeared that the weapons were rusted and had not been used for long. Cases had been registered against unidentified persons and investigations were in progress.

After reports that the weapons could have been used for training by the assassin of Gauri Lankesh in the forests in Khanapur, a few kilometres away from the spot wherein they were found, police have been looking into this angle too.

Sources said the condition of the weapons indicated that they have not been used for decades but to allay doubt all aspects were being looked into.
