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.

Mangaluru, July 14: In order to detect COVID-19 cases quickly in Dakshina Kannada, the government has commissioned a programme to administer rapid antigen tests.

The coastal district has already received 3,500 rapid antigen test kits, which can give results in 30 minutes, an official said, adding that tests will be conducted shortly and training is being imparted on the use of the kits.

The antigen tests will be conducted for emergency cases like delivery, surgery, persons with severe symptoms of Covid-19, multiple-organ failure and for those whose condition is critical. 

"If a symptomatic patient tests negative for Covid-19, then his throat swab sample would be sent for lab testing," the district health officer (DHO) said.

The rapid antigen tests is expected to help in increasing the number of tests and bring down the load of testing on labs, as antigen kits allow faster diagnosis.

It takes a minimum of eight hours to get the results via real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test. Antigen tests can provide results within half an hour.
