Moodbidri, March 9: The Moodbidri police have finally made a breakthrough in the investigation of the mysterious disappearance of 'Apadbandhava Ashok', a resident of Korangallu in Hudko Colony, more than a year ago.


Addressing media persons in a press briefing at the Mangalore Police Commissionerate, Seemanth Kumar Singh, Mangalore City Police Commissioner, revealed that Ashok, who was an affable person and liked by one and all in the Moodbidri area, was killed by his wife Chandravati on December 7, 2010.

The police have also arrested the woman and have also subjected son of the couple and Ashok's brother Sathish to inquiry.

The background:

Ashok had returned home on the morning of December 7 after completing his night shift and straight away slipped into sleep.

Chandravati, after confirming that her husband was asleep, bludgeoned him to death with grinding stone, the police said.

Although Mr. Singh declined to reveal the hint the police recieved to get a breakthrough in a year old case, it is being reported that Ashok allegedly harassed his wife suspecting her of infidelity. After killing Ashok in the brutal manner, the dead body was cremated in the bathroom built on the verandah. The unburnt limbs were then buried on the compound.

After stealthily carrying out the 'mission grind stone', Chandravati went to Satish's house in Belthangady and complained that her husband has been missing.

Chandravati also confessed during the investigation that she had thrown the bones into the sea at Someshwar after packing them in a gunny bag.

Three days after the incident, she returned to Moodbidri and told the local people that Ashok was taken away by a motorbike-borne youth and also filed a complaint with the local police.

The police had treated it as a missing case. However, it is being reported that the woman overcome by a feeling of guilt, had revealed the true story to one of her friends and the clue was then passed on to the police, who renewed the investigation and found evidences against the woman.

Ashok had served in the homeguard for several years and had also worked as a security guard at Dhavala College. He was also involved in social work and was known as 'Apadbandhava Ashok' for his humane qualities. He took extra interest in caring the orphans, urchins and explored ways to rehabilitate them. He was also a snake catcher and his services were sought whenever snakes were found in residential localities.

Bengaluru, Jan 5: BJP leader and Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa once again blamed the Congress of creating 'confusion' among the Muslim community over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act-2019 while launching a door to door campaign to dispel such rumors.

Yediyurappa was on a door-to-door campaign to make people aware of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and to allay their fears.

"Unnecessarily, the members of Congress are creating confusion among the Muslim community. I assure you that not a single Muslim will be affected because of CAA," said B. S. Yediyurappa.

"Almost all previous Prime Ministers have supported it, now Congress is creating a problem so as to create confusion among Muslims. That's why we are out on the door-to-door campaign," he said.

The Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019, seeks to grant Indian citizenship to Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.

Bengaluru, Feb 23: Bolstered by the Supreme Court's interim nod for the gazette notification of the Mahadayi Water Dispute Tribunal award by the Central government, Karnataka decided to allot funds for the drinking water project in the state's northwest region, an official said on Saturday.

"Funds will be allotted in the state budget for fiscal 2020-21 to complete the Kalasa-Banduri project across the Mahadayi river for supplying drinking water to the four drought-prone northern districts in the state," the official of the water resources department told media on anonymity.

As Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa also holds the finance portfolio, he has agreed to allocate funds for the project, held up for years in the legal battle with the neighbouring Goa and Maharashtra over the sharing of the river water among the three coastal states.

Yediyurappa is slated to present the state budget for the ensuing fiscal in the legislative assembly on March 2.

"We will resume the project work once the Centre notifies the award though it will be binding on the final outcome of the apex court's hearing the review petitions of Goa and Maharashtra against the Tribunal award," the official noted.

A division bench of Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice Hemant Gupta on Thursday passed an interim order on the Tribunal award, allowing the central water resources ministry to notify it for implementation and posted the case for final hearing in July.

The Tribunal on August 14, 2018 allocated 13.42 thousand million cubic feet (tmcft) of the river water to the southern state for irrigation and drinking water supply to towns and villages across Bagalkot, Belagavi, Dharwad and Gadag districts, which are in the arid region of the Deccan plateau.

The four districts are about 400-550 km northwest of Bengaluru in the southern state.

Of the 13.42 tmcft water, 5.5 tmcft will be used in the river basin and for diversion into the depleted Malaprabha reservoir while the balance 7.92 tmcft will be utilized for hydel power generation instead of allowing the water to go into the Arabian Sea on the state's west coast through Goa.

Goa, which opposed Karnataka's demand for 36.66 tmcft, was allocated 24 tmcft, while Maharashtra got 1.3 tmcft.

The Tribunal assessed that 188.06 tmc feet water is available at 75 per cent dependability.

The three-member Tribunal is headed by Chairman Justice J.M. Panchal, Justice Viney Mittal and Justice P.S. Naayana.

The Union government had set up the inter-state Tribunal on November 16, 2010 for the djudication of the Mahadayi basin water allocation among the three riparian and contiguous states.

Goa and Maharashtra claimed 122.6 tmc feet and 6.35 tmc feet of the river water respectively.

The Tribunal, which commenced sittings on September 6, 2012, held 1,209 sittings for over 6 years.

Supreme Court senior counsel F.S. Nariman represented the state before the Tribunal to present its case.

The Tribunal's chairman and two members inspected the river basin area across the three coastal states from December 12-24, 2013.

The 77km-long Mahadayi or Mandovi river originates at Bhimgad in the Western Ghats in Belagavi district and flows into the neighbouring Goa through Maharashtra and joins the Arabian Sea off the west coast.

Though the river flows 29 km in Karnataka and 52 km in Goa, its catchment area is spread over 2,032 km in the southern state as against 1,580 km in the western state (Goa).
