Udupi, October 19: Demanding an in-depth inquiry into the suicide of athlete Prithvi Amparu who had hung herself in the SMS sports hostel last month, members of Billava community staged a protest in front of DC's Office in Udupi

Speaking on the occasion Block Congress President Pramodh Madhwaraj strongly expressed his dissatisfaction over the police inquiry that is being conducted and said that the ones responsible for Prithvi's death are very influential and are hence trying to mislead the police.

“They must be even pressurising the police to not take up in depth investigation. Police should perform their duties without coming under any sort of pressure or influence. The guilty should be punished,” he demanded.

Billava community leader Harikrishna Bantwal alleged that the district police has miserably failed to handle the issue. It is really a shame on the part of police who are unable to unravel the truth.

“The case should be handed over to the COD. If the government is not agreeing to this then the protest demanding for COD inquiry will be intensified. Protest will be taken up in every street of the district. We want truth to come out and the people behind the incident should be booked. The death is not suicide rather the available evidences testify the fact that Prithvi was murdered,” he added.

The copies of Memorandum were submitted to IGP Western Range Alok Mohan, SP Dr Y S Ravikumar and DC Dr M T Reju on the occasion.

VHP

Meanwhile, Vishwa Hindu Parishath demanded COD probe into the suspicious death of the athlete Prithvi Amparu.

Speaking to the media persons here on Tuesday VHP District President Premanand Shetty demanded that COD asked to hold the probe as the inquiry conducted till date by the district police has not yielded any results.

“Despite Higher Education Minister Dr V S Acharya ordering a high level inquiry, the probe into the issue has failed to give the results. Proper inquiry should be conducted and criminals involved in the death of the athlete should be punished,” he urged.

Bengaluru,  Jul 18: Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers DV Sadananda Gowda on Friday said that Government of India headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been extending all possible assistance to state government in their endeavour to combat the deadly coronavirus.

In a statement released after participating in a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa in Bengaluru today, Gowda said he shared his views with the state government on how to control the spread of COVID-19 in the state in general and Bengaluru in particular.

He said the Centre was in constant touch with the state government on the issue. The centre is more than happy to extend any help further if Karnataka requires so.

"Being a Union Minister handling the Pharmaceutical Department also, I am closely monitoring the medicine demand and supply situation across the country on a day-to-day basis. The availability of required medicines including HCQ and Paracetamol is satisfactory in all states including Karnataka. Also, there has been enough lifesaving drugs in our Jan Aushadhi Kendras all over India. Over 600 such outlets exist in Karnataka alone," he said.

"If there is any issue related to medicine shortage or overpricing, one can bring it to my knowledge or call PMBJP tollfree number 18001808080 or NPPA number 18001112550 / 011-23345118 / 011-23345122. The grievances will surely be resolved to everybody's satisfaction" added the minister.

With related to state governments or private agencies seeking to import emergency medicines, medical equipment etc., Gowda assured, we would facilitate required licences without any delay.

"I strongly feel that it is our collective responsibility to use everything in our armour to defeat the pandemic. We also seek public support in this mission. Together, we will win," he said.
