Bagalkot, Dec 1: A police constable, who was on duty attached to Superintendent of Police’s residence, had committed suicide by shooting himself from his riffle today.

The deceased Manjunath Harijan, 28, was the native of Mittalkot village in Kushtagi taluk of Koppal district and was posted to Gagalkot district SP’s office recently. 

After working in Davangere DAR police since 2012, an employee of Karnataka Armed Reserve Police, Harijan had been transferred to Bagalkot, where he was working as a security guard at the residence of SP for the past one year.

As usual, he reported for duty on Saturday and was working on 2 am to 6 am night-shift, guarding the residence of SP. According to sources, soon after his shift of duty ended Saturday morning, he shot himself dead with his official 303-rifle. A shocked police department is yet to find out reasons behind his death. His family has been informed about the incident.

According to the police, the constable had never disclosed anything to his colleagues about whether he was being harassed or tortured by the department or if he had any personal problems that forced him to take the extreme step. 

His body has been sent for autopsy and an investigation into the death will be taken up, sources added.

Bengaluru, Feb 23: Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers DV Sadananda Gowda on Sunday said that several "anti-national organisations" were misusing the platform of anti-CAA protests.

"We have taken serious note of it and have started an investigation. Several anti-national organisations are misusing the platform of anti-CAA protests and many people are trying to take political advantage of this situation," he told the media on Sunday.

Gowda said that the government is "very serious" about the issue. "We are already working towards this. Both the state and Centre are together investigating into this," he said and added, "We will ensure that we cut this and will not allow this to grow. We will investigate the organisers of the event as well."

"If you are inviting such people (alleged anti-national elements), it means that you either know about it or that you are indirectly encouraging such things. In such situations, the organisers too will be acted upon," he stressed.

Mangaluru, Jan 16: Following the widespread protests against the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), former minister and MLA UT Khader on Thursday urged the Centre and State government to address the concerns of the people.

Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, he said there is widespread confusion among the public with regard to the implementation of the Act. People are reluctant to open their doors to Asha workers, out of fear that the NRC exercise is being implemented, said Khader.

He urged the chief minister and home minister to gain the trust of the people on the CAA issue.
