Ullal, August 1: A love story which went terribly wrong ended in the murder of Srikanth Kanchan, a 19 year old youth, who was the sole bread winner of his family in Ullal.

Srikanth was in love with the accused Bharatesh's sister for the past four years, which was strongly opposed by her family.

Srikanth, a fisherman by profession was stabbed on the chest by Bharatesh and his brother-in-law, Ashwin.

Responsibility of looking after the family had fallen on the shoulders of Srikanth at a very young age. He had to quit school and work as a fisherman at the young age of 12. He had married off one of his sisters to a groom settled in Mumbai and had also managed to build a home. He was also the only hope for his elder sisters Yogini and Pushpa and his mentally challenged brother, Chandrashekar.

Fortunately for him, his hard work and good intentions paid off and his business flourished in a short span of time. He purchased a fishing boat in partnership with few others. He was also an active member of Bajrang Dal and was involved in various community services.

As any youngster of his age, he had fantasies about life. Over the last four years Srikanth had been in love with a girl. The girl's family was against any such affair and he had been warned several times over by her brothers, including the accused Bharatesh.

Srikanth was spending time with his friends near Mogaveerapattana club on Saturday night, before he started walking towards his home. He was a few meters away from his home when he was stabbed severely on the chest by Bharatesh and his brother-in-law, Ashwin, who fled from the spot.

An eyewitness informed about the tragic incident to Srikanth's kin. But, Srikanth breathed his last due to severe blood loss within minutes.

Accused Bharatesh is an employee at a mobile shop in Mangalore. Ashwin is a fisherman. It is said that the houses of the accused were damaged by the furious crowd. A team led by Ullal Police Inspector Sanjeeva Nayak and Sub-Inspector Manjunath are in the hunt for the accused duo.

Bengaluru, Jul 7: Former Health minister and Congress MLA UT Khader has alleged that the state government has purchased coronavirus equipment for more than twice the actual price.

"Rs 500 sanitizers have been purchased for Rs 900 and Rs 9,000 has been paid to Rs 1200 for the thermal metre by the government. Instead of asking to allow him to work, Mr B Sriramulu, being health minister he must work for the people," he said.

He said that three months have passed since the pandemic started but the state government is still struggling to send ambulances to needy patients.

"Instead of ambulance it is sending final rights vehicle to needy people," Khader said.

According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, there are 23,474 coronavirus cases in Karnataka including 13,255 and 372 deaths.
