Mangaluru, May 9: City based activist and rationalist Narendra Nayak on Monday filed a complaint with the Urwa Police about a threat to his life.

nayak In his complaint, Mr. Nayak, who has been spearheading a movement seeking the arrest of those involved in the murder of RTI activist Vinayak Baliga, said that he was threatened by Shashank Shenoy during a chat session on Facebook on Monday afternoon.

The person, who is said to be a follower of Kashi Mutt, asked Mr. Nayak not to speak against Kashi Mutt seer Samyamindra Tirtha and the Venkataramana Temple.

Questioning Mr. Nayak for “putting [his] dirty hands into a tiger's mouth”, Shashank Shenoy is said to have told Mr. Nayak to treat it as a threat.

Mr. Nayak has, in his complaint, also made a mention of the derogatory comments by Goud Saraswat community members on his Facebook account for sharing a report of a local newspaper related to the investigation of Vinayak Baliga's murder.

The community members are said to have threatened Mr. Nayak saying that he would be thrown out of the Goud Saraswat community, he said. The Urwa Police have registered his complaint.

GSBs hurt

Members of the Goud Saraswat Brahmin community on Monday asked Police Commissioner M. Chandra Sekhar to take action against false reports in a section of media of the arrest of a close aide of Kashi Mutt seer Samyamindra Tirtha in connection with the murder of RTI activist Vinayak Baliga.

The members, led by S. Narayan, secretary of the Bengaluru Kashi Mutt Committee, said that they were hurt over the false reports maligning the seer.

It was wrong on the part of the media to report that Vishwanath Bhat, an aide of the seer, had been arrested. Such reports had hurt the community members, they said.

Ruling out any connection of the seer with the murder, Pandit Narasimhacharya, Tantri of Mangaluru's Venkataramana Temple, told reporters that they have sought action against all those behind the false reports maligning the mutt and the seer.

Kasaragod, June 2: As Kerala commenced fresh academic year with online classes from Monday, a ninth-standard student at Malappuram district in North Kerala ended life allegedly owing to lack of online study facilities like television connection and a smartphone at her house.

Devika, daughter of Balakrishnan, hailing from a Dalit community at Valancherry, about 25 kilometres from Malappuram town, ended her life.

Balakrishnan told the media that he could not recharge the television connection owing to financial crunches. He was working as a daily wage worker and owing to COVID-19 and lockdown, he was not having much work these days.

The family also did not have a smartphone or computer. The family members alleged that Devika was quite upset as she could not attend the virtual class that began on Monday. She was a student of a nearby government school.

Local police said that Devika, who was the eldest among four children of Balakrishnan, was suspected to have self-immolated using kerosene at a premise close to her house on Monday evening. The cause and provocations were still being probed only. No suicide notes were recovered yet.
