Woman techie jumps off 5th floor as boyfriend delays marriage

March 2, 2016

Bengaluru, Mar 2: A 21-year-old woman is suspected to have jumped from the fifth floor of a building in DRDO Quarters in A Narayanapura, east Bengaluru, on Monday evening, shortly after a heated argument with her boyfriend who was not keen on an early marriage.

coupleNeha, who was studying engineering, was in a relationship with Vighnesh, a BCom student, for the past one year.

The couple had decided to marry. Neha, whose mother died of cancer, introduced Vighnesh to her grandfather and he consented to the marriage. Vighnesh's parents were also aware of the relationship but wanted him to focus on his studies instead, said the jurisdictional Mahadevapura police.

From then on, Vighnesh is believed to have started avoiding Neha, and the couple fought over the matter. Neha had been trying to contact Vighnesh for the past one week, but he didn't respond to her calls or text messages.

Frustrated and distraught, she went to his house around 7 pm on Monday. The police believe she wanted to make peace with him, but the couple fought again. An hour later, she darted to the fifth floor and jumped down. She bled to instant death.

A stunned Vighnesh alerted his mother who was in the house. The police and Neha's family were also alerted. The police took Neha to a hospital where she was declared brought dead.

Neha's father, Mallesh Reddy, who lives in Chinnappanahalli, Marathahalli, made a complaint to the police, accusing Vighnesh of abetting in his daughter's suicide. Accordingly, the police detained Vighnesh and are interrogating him.

RIP to the departed soul, I wonder why Hinduism is in its end point, day by day the population of the community is decreasing ..very sad, this is a serious matter to worry rather than producing 4-10 children, I urge all Hindu saints and Babas to convince their people to give some value for their life, otherwise Hinduism will wash out from the History..

Bengaluru, Feb 4: The possibility of defeated MLA CP Yogeshwar being inducted into chief minister BS Yediyurappa’s cabinet is causing ripples within the ruling BJP, with many legislators, especially from Kalyana-Karnataka region, raising a banner of revolt.

Several MLAs led by Surapur legislator Narasimha Nayak, also known as Raju Gouda, held a meeting at the Legislators Home on Monday and voiced their opposition.

"When there are more than two dozen MLAs aspiring for a cabinet berth, making a former MLA a minister is beyond logic," Gouda said. "We will convey our feelings to Yediyurappa and state BJP president Nalin Kumar Kateel." Murugesh Nirani, Paranna Munavalli, Rajkumar Patil, Dattatreya Patil Revoor, Basavaraj Mattimud are among others who attended the meeting. MP Renukacharya, political secretary to the CM and Honnali MLA, was also present at the meeting. "Some more MLAs will join us when we meet again tomorrow," Gouda said.

The MLAs highlighted the issue of caste and regional imbalance in the council of ministers to further their cause. With four from Bengaluru and three from Belagavi district set to take oath on February 6, the share of MLAs from these districts in the cabinet will rise to seven and five respectively. Currently, 16 districts have no representation.

Sources say Yediyurappa and BJP’s national leadership decided to reward Yogeshwar with a cabinet berth for his "active" role in getting 17 Congress-JD(S) MLAs to resign and join the BJP, enabling the party to grab power. The party also believes he has the potential to become the Vokkaliga face of the BJP in the Old Mysuru region, where the party’s organisation is weak.

If Yogeshwar is inducted, he will be the second former MLA to make it to Yediyurappa cabinet after deputy CM Laxman Savadi, who lost the 2018 assembly polls. Several party MLAs were unhappy with Savadi’s elevation and are now upping the ante against the party leadership.

"Let Yogeshwar be made Rajya Sabha or council member. We have no problem. But making him minister is not acceptable. If they want to make defeated MLAs ministers, then why not AH Vishwanath and MTB Nagaraj, whose sacrifices brought BJP to power?" said Gouda.

Reports say Yediyurappa has promised Vishwanath and Nagaraj, the disqualified MLAs who lost the bypolls, that they would be made ministers in June. Both met Yediyurappa and secured this assurance. The two were demanding that they be inducted into the cabinet on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Vijayapura MLA Basavanagouda Patil Yatnal urged the CM to evaluate the performance of existing ministers and drop those found non-performing. "Many ministers don’t even come to the Vidhana Soudha. What is the use of having such ministers?" he asked.

Yediyurappa also continued to face pressure to induct Athani MLA Mahesh Kumatalli into the cabinet. The Jarkiholi brothers, Ramesh and Balachandra met Yediyurappa separately on Monday with a request to make Kumatalli, their confidant, a minister.
