Mangalore, August 17: Former president of Bantwal taluk panchayat Chandrahas Shetty Bolanthur shot himself with a revolver at his old residence in Bolanthur in Bantwal taluk under Vittla police station limits on Wednesday afternoon.

45 year old Congress leader Chandrahas is battling for life at a private hospital in the city.

It is said that Chandrahas, who is also a businessman, had left his new house in Bolanthur in the morning saying that he wanted to pay a visit to the old residence located in a little distance. However he had never returned till noon. When his family members went to fetch him for the lunch in the afternoon, they found the main door of the house was locked from inside.

Feared by the insider's silence to the calling bell, his uncle Gangadhar Rai, broke open the door to witness a critically wounded Chandrahas lying in a pool of blood.

He rushed him to a private hospital in the city, from where he was shifted to another private hospital for further treatment. MLA B Ramanath Rai and Congress leader Bondala Jagannath Shetty rushed to the hospital on hearing the news.

'Suicide Note' found

Police sources informed that a 'suicide note' was found where Chandrahas allegedly attempted to commit suicide. They said that he wanted to be relieved from the intolerable pain of intestine disease.

Bantwal Police Circle Inspector Vivekananda, Vittla police Sub Inspector Rakshit Gowda and team visited the spot.

Mangaluru, July 5: Two children died after getting trapped under the debris of a landslide which occurred at Banglagudde in Kaikamba on the outskirts of Mangaluru today.

The deceased are identified as Safwan (16) and Sahala (10).

The rescue teams including personnel from NDRF, fire service and police brought out the body after four hours of rescue operation.

According to sources, landslides occurred at 12:30 pm and of the five members, three ran out of the house. The two kids got trapped in the debris.

The heavy rain in the last two days has softened the soil of the hillock. An Auto-rickshaw, lorry and a bike too have buried under the soil.

It was said that caving in of the hillock continued even when the rescue operation was in progress, thus making the rescue operation difficult.

District-in-Charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary who visited the spot said two houses have been completely damaged and inmates of 14 houses that are facing the problem in the vicinity will be shifted to safer locations.
