SIT gets facial profile of Gauri's killer done

Bengaluru, Sept 21: In a major breakthrough in the Gauri Lankesh murder case, the Special Investigating Team (SIT) has managed to get a facial profile of the assailant done and started a massive hunt for the man who killed Gauri.

The SIT, which went through 634 digital video recorders (DVRs), developed the image based on the footage from one of the CCTV cameras on the path from her office to residence. It also scrutinised CCTV camera footage from her house, which the assailant visited twice before the murder on September 5.

A senior police officer from the SIT told DH, “The video frames clearly show the assailant was on a Bajaj Pulsar, wearing a formal shirt and trousera (not black jacket as reported earlier), a white helmet without a visor, a wristband, a watch and office tag around his neck. The officer said the assailant is lean built and aged between 34 to 38 years. The rough facial profile has given the SIT enough leads, it is said.

“Eyewitnesses gave us descriptions of the assailant and they match with the facial profile. This is a big breakthrough we have got,” said a senior official from the SIT.

A team has been formed to question second-hand bike dealers. Officials from the SIT are collecting details from the dealers on people they sold vehicles to.

On Wednesday, the Rajarajeshwarinagar police went around the area and handed over pamphlets to residents, requesting for help.

Information sought

The police have urged the people to inform them about any suspicious person who moved around in the area on September 5 or afterwards. The residents have been asked to share the information with the Rajarajeshwarinagar police on 080-22942559 or on 94808 01725. But the handbill did not mention anything about Gauri’s murder.

The color/make of the vehicle keeps changing as leaked by SIT, for whatever reasons. As per this report, the assailant was wearing an office tag around his neck. That is very suspicious. They can't be that stupid unless it was not a very well planned murder. If the same people or organization was involved like in other similar cases then the assailant would be more careful because of past experience. Hope the truth will come out soon to put an end to all speculations.

Feb 3: The Karnataka government is probably the only state to have so many nodal agencies to deal with investment proposals. There is the KIADB, Karnataka Udyoga Mitra, State High Level Clearance Committee (SHLCC), State Level Single Window Clearance Committee (SLSWCC) and District Level Single Window Clearance Committee.

While the government claims these have been created to speed up the process of setting up industries, they’re only delaying it. “A four-to-five year delay in acquiring land has become the norm,’’ say industry sources.

“These entities are only adding layers of obstacles to investors and is not really helping industries,” said a senior IAS officer.

While DLSWCCs are headed by deputy commissioners are empowered to clear investment proposals up to Rs 15 crore, SLSWCC, headed by the industries minister, clears proposals more than Rs 15 crore and up to Rs 500 crore. Proposals worth more than Rs 500 crore have to be cleared by SHLCC chaired by the CM. These entities have to meet regularly and clear proposals. But often, these meetings don’t happen as scheduled. “The delay starts from here,” said Vasant Ladava, industrialist and member of Karnataka Industries and Commerce, Bengaluru.

The single-window agencies involving representatives of departments like industries, revenue, pollution control board and forest are supposed to collectively give necessary clearances required for industries. “But, of late, they have become only project approvers without other responsibilities, leaving investors in the lurch,” said Ladava.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Action will be taken against private hospitals that were violating government norms and charging exorbitant fees charges for the treatment of Covid-19 patients and suspects, said Water Resources Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi.

The government has taken action against private hospitals in Bengaluru and the same parameters would be adopted other cities, he said speaking to media persons in Belagavi on Friday.

Jarkiholi said that the government had noticed that patients were levied exorbitant charges for Covid-19 treatment. People too have complaints regarding the huge bills by these private hospitals and have demanded action.

“We are not under the obligation of any private hospital and stringent action will be taken against all erring and violating government tariffs. They will have to treat patients and follow the tariffs fixed,” he stated.

Belagavi Institute of Medical Sciences District Hospital had been directed to install CCTV cameras in Covid-19 wards and install monitors at reception to facilitate monitoring of treatment and condition of the wards. BIMS management was taken to task for not following the directive and have been given a deadline to install CCTV cameras, Jarkiholi informed.
