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, June 1: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today praised the Karnataka government for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Addressing the silver jubilee celebrations of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) via a digital platform, he spoke about the Karnataka government's efforts.

He appreciated the work of front-line warriors who are fighting every day in the war against COVID-19 and stressed the need to respect them.

"Doctors and other medical workers are soldiers without wearing the uniform of soldiers. Any kind of attack or violence against them is not acceptable," said Modi.

"There are incidents of violence against the front-line warriors. Any kind of abuse, violence or rude behaviour is not acceptable. The world is looking at doctors and medical staff with gratitude," he said.

"This is the biggest crisis since the two World Wars," the prime minister said. "Pre- and post-COVID-19, the world will be different. The discussions now at a global level are humanity-centric."

Stressing the importance of medical infrastructure, the prime minister spoke about the decision taken by the Union Government to set up a medical college in every district.

"A nation like ours has to have the medical infrastructure and medical education. Now, every district is going to have a medical college," he said.

However, the PM remained silent on salaries of front-line warriors. The Karnataka government has so far not released the salaries of doctors, nurses and lab technicians hired under National Health Mission.
