Mangalore, September 4: The body of a schoolgirl who had committed suicide by jumping into Nethravathi River eight days ago has been found on the shores of Manjeshwar beach.

The deceased has been identified as Sonali Patel (15), daughter of Ashwin and Alpha Patel of Mohan compound in Krishnanagara, Puttur. Her body was found at Manjeshwar beach on Monday evening.

A 10th standard student of Sudana school, Puttur, Sonali had jumped from a bridge into River Nethravati on August 27 at Panemangalur near Bantwal. Based on the information provided by one of the locals who witnessed her suicidal act, emergency and rescue services were pressed into action but her body could not be found.

At about 7 pm on Monday, locals saw her body floating at Manjeshwar beach and informed the police. Following passing of information from Manjeshwar police to Puttur police, Sonali's parents arrived at Manjeshwar and identified her body.

On August 27, she had left for school along with her siblings Pragati and Sujal but refused to return home with them stating that she had to go to Mangala Stores. That evening she came to Panemangalur and committed suicide by jumping off the bridge into the river. She was reportedly weak in studies and this reason is being attributed as the cause of her extreme step.

Sonali's family which hails from Gujarat has been living in Puttur from the past 10 years.

Thiruvananthapuram, Mar 28: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi's intervention to remove the blocking of roads including state highway along the border of Karnataka in view of lock down to contain the spread of COVID-19.

In a letter sent to the Prime Minister on Friday evening, the Chief Minister said certain actions by the Karnataka Police have resulted in the blocking the Thalassery-Coorg State Highway-30. This road connects Kerala with Coorg in Karnataka via Veerajapettah. This route is a lifeline for flow of essential commodities to Kerala."

"If this is blocked, vehicles carrying essential commodities will have to travel a much longer route to reach our state. Given the situation of national lock down, this will add much more hardship to people," it said.

"You will naturally agree with me that no action impeding the movement of essential commodities should be initiated at this moment of crisis," he hoped.
