Chikkamagaluru, Jan 11: K Annamalai, the superintendent of police of Chikkamagaluru has warned the saffron groups without naming them against trying to mislead people and pressurize police in connection with the death of Dhanyashree, a 20-year-old student of Mudigere’s DSBG college.

Dhanyashree, who belongs to Hindu community, had committed suicide on Saturday after group of Hindutva chauvinists barged into her house and created ruckus accusing her of flirting with Muslim boys. In her death note the Hindu girl had named five Hindutva activists. Among them BJP Yuva Morcha activist Anil has already been arrested.

Speaking to media persons here on Wednesday, SP said that some persons (activists of saffron groups) have been pressurizing Dhanyashree's father Yadav Suvarna to furnish wrong information. Those miscreants have been identified and cases will be booked against them, he said.

He said that the details furnished by Yadav Suvarna in his fresh complaint and the facts in Dhanyashri's death note are contradictory.

He added that police have obtained proof of the attempt to mislead the investigation. "Cases will be booked against the those who tried to mislead investigation and action will be initiated against them under IPC Section 182," he said.

Stating that the police had registered a complaint filed by Dhanyashree’s mother Saraswathi on January 7 and that the police had read out her complaint before her, Annamalai said the entire process has been videographed.

Flaying leaders of few (saffron) groups for issuing statements before the media, especially those who are accused in the case, Annamalai said that those accused in the incident should not issue media statements. "A few TV channels (that aired statements of the miscreants) too will be issued a notice in this regard," he said.

Referring to a Facebook post that said "the Police Sub Inspector (investigating the case) is working towards getting CM's medal and insulting his (PSI) religion," the SP said that a case has been booked against the person who wrote this post. Cases under IPC 353, 353A will be booked against the leader, he said and added that an additional section IPC 153A (disrupting harmony) will be added to the existing section IPC 306 (abetment to suicide).

To another query on those who claimed to be members of Bajrang Dal and issued warnings to female students on WhatsApp, the SP said that four persons have been identified and all of them are from Mudigiere and cases will be booked against them as well.

The SP also said that the identity of the person who had a chat with Dhanyashree and who abused her and her mother has been ascertained and a special team has been formed to nab them. Teams have been sent to Belagavi and Kalburgi too and the accused will be nabbed soon, the SP added.

Remember social media memes of Chinese companies exporting #BoycottChina hats and t-shirts to India? This time India’s sensational and saffronite TV anchor Arnab Goswami vindicated those memes by hosting an anti-China debate show which was sponsored by Chinese companies!

While the last night's debate was all about boycotting Chinese products in the wake of massacre of over 20 Indian soldiers by their Chinese counterparts in eastern Ladakh, the show was brazenly promoting Chinese products through advertisement placements. 

During the debate, amongst the flashy headlines, there were two brand sponsorships that appeared: VIVO and Xiaomi. Both companies are giant Chinese multinational corporations. 

Twitter user Nirmala Tai, who was among those who spotted this irony, highlighted two instances during the debate where the logo of one of the brands popped up, and one where Xiaomi was found promoting the Mi 10. 

Many Twitterati used Goswami’s some of the favourite words such as ‘hypocrite’ and ‘anti-national’ to target him. They hit out at his channel for accepting sponsorship deals from Chinese brands at a time when anti-China sentiment is strong in the country.

Bengaluru, Jun 3: Lack of awareness on rail travel norms led to a tense situation on a Karnataka train as a female passenger was forced to disembark midway after her fellow passengers raised a hue and cry on seeing her knuckle stamped, mistaking it for a quarantine stamp, an official said on Tuesday.

"Many passengers on the train with the woman raised a hue and cry on seeing her stamped and complained to the TTE. She was later disembarked at Tumkur," a South Western Railway (SWR) zone official said.

The woman was travelling from Bengaluru to Belagavi as a transit passenger. Her status as such a passenger was stamped on her knuckle.

However, after some time, her fellow passengers observed her stamped hand and misunderstood that she was violating the quarantine norms.

Without realising that she was just a transit passenger who will be quarantined on reaching her destination, they created pandemonium and complained to the travelling ticket inspector.

"Following the public pressure, she was forcibly disembarked in Tumkur station," said the official.

Incidentally, the railways allows transit passengers to travel.

The official said the TTE would not have been aware of the rules and must have yielded to the passengers' pressure.

Later, the woman was allowed to board another train and reach her destination, the official said.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.
