Mangaluru, Jul 1: Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister U T Khader has expressed pain that when a jilted lover was stabbing a girl repeatedly in broad daylight, the onlookers were filming the assault instead of intervening to stop him.

Last Friday Sushanth, a 28-year-old dance teacher had stabbed Deeksha, an MBA student, 12 times, and later attempted to end his life by slitting his throat at Bagambila near Deralakatte. The video clippings of the incident are still going viral on social media. 

Mr Khader on Sunday visited the Justice KS Hegde Hospital in Derlakatte where Deeksha, is battling for her life, and met her family members. He also offered financial help of Rs 50,000 to meet her medical expenses. He said the government would look after the hospital expenses of the victim. 

"The victim is under observation for the next 48 hours. It is sad that on the fateful day, people, instead of stopping the man who was stabbing Deeksha in broad daylight, were taking videos of the same. A brave nurse rushed to the spot and helped her," Khader said.

According to police sources, Sushanth, a resident of Shaktinagar, was a dance teacher, and he and Deeksha were in a relationship for a long time. She started to maintain a distance from Sushanth, after he was booked for assault on the Mangaluru court premises, and also in other criminal cases.

Preliminary investigations reveal that the accused, who is also under treatment, committed the crime under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: Working President of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee, Eashwar Khandre on Friday said that his party has extended its support to the demand made by the former chief minister of Karnataka, HD Kumaraswamy, that a House Committee should be formed to probe into Mangaluru violence.

Emphasising the need for a judicial probe into the incident, Khandre said, "Congress has always said that the truth should prevail and that there should be a judicial inquiry and investigation by a sitting Supreme Court judge or a High Court judge into the incident."

"We support his (HD Kumaraswamy) statement that a House Committee should be set up to probe into the incident of Mangaluru violence. Two innocent people lost their lives during the anti-CAA protest, it is very unfortunate," he added.

Two people were killed in Mangaluru in the alleged police firing after protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act turned violent on December 19.

The Act grants Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh who entered India on or before 31, 2014.
