Mangalore, November 10: Students of degree and post-graduate colleges belonging to Mangalore University All College Students' Association (ACSA) staged a day-long hunger strike demanding high level investigation from the police department in Soujanya rape-murder case and Deepika's death due to medical negligence.

 

Speaking on the occasion, ACSA legal advisor Dinakar Shetty said that the police had been ineffective in conducting proper investigations in the cases of Deepika and Soujanya.

 

CBI investigation is necessary in the case of Soujanya, so that a clear and transparent investigation is done, and the real culprits are nabbed. Suspicions of the locals contend involvement of two others in the murder, who should be nabbed. As per the details given by Superintendent of Police, there hasn't been a clear picture of the case and its course of investigation. A memorandum will be submitted to the State government through the Deputy Commissioner urging for a CBI investigation, he said.

 

As for the case of Deepika, so far only one accused Dr Vijaykumar of J S Hospital has been arrested for medical negligence, while there were others equally responsible for her death. No action on the accused female doctor and other staff was taken even after a memorandum was submitted to Ullal police station. We urge the concerned police that the other accused mentioned in the complaint also be arrested and interrogated, he said.

 

A memorandum will be submitted to the Commissioner of Police via DC regarding this, he said.

 

Association president Uttam Alva, PG Association president Prateek J P and other student leaders Shipal Raj, Rahul Raj Prakash, Karthik Nayak, Nagarjuna, Anola K J, Nithin Mada, Akshat K, Balraj Shetty, Abhishek B Shetty, Ashwat Kottari and Gautam Brahmavar took part in the hunger strike from 8.30 am to 5 pm.

Bengaluru, Apr 28: Former Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday suggested that the government can allow sale of liquor in green zones. 

“Merely because there is an economic slowdown in the state, I don’t recommend that alcohol should be allowed to be sold. But, wherever there are green districts, they can open (liquor sale) with certain restrictions, I think,” Siddaramaiah, the leader of the Opposition, told reporters. 

There are 14 districts in the state that are categorised as green because they do not have any active COVID-19 cases. The green districts are: Yadgir, Raichur, Koppal, Haveri, Davangere, Shivamogga, Chitradurga, Udupi, Chikmagalur, Hassan, Kodagu, Chamarajanagar, Ramanagara and Kolar.

There is tremendous pressure on the B S Yediyurappa administration to revive the economy as the lockdown has dried up all revenue sources. Excise, alone, accounts for 18 per cent of Karnataka’s own tax revenue. 

The Excise department recently suggested allowing regulated sale of liquor through the state-run MSIL outlets. The government, however, did not approve it fearing crowding and backlash from the Centre.
