Mangaluru, May 2: Activists of Deshapremi Sanghatanegala Ookoota took out a padayatra from P.V.S. Kalakunj to the office of the Police Commissioner here on Monday urging the police to arrest Naresh Shenoy alias NaMo Naresh, the leader of NaMo Brigade, and two of his associates.

NaMo Naresh is a key suspect in the murder case of of Right to Information (RTI) activist Vinayak Baliga, who was hacked to death in the city on March 21.

In a memorandum to the Police Commissioner, rationalist Narendra Nayak claimed that Mr. Shenoy was a politically, economically and socially influential person.

There are doubts that some more influential persons could have been behind the murder, the memorandum read. An attempt was being made to prevent the arrest of Mr. Shenoy so that other influential persons behind the murder could be saved, the memorandum said.

No laxity

On the other hand Police Commissioner M. Chandra Sekhar said that police are still in search of Mr Shenoy.

To a question during a press conference here Mr. Sekhar said, “We have been doing our best. There is no laxity on our part.” The Commissioner said that the Ullal incidents shifted the focus from this case. But efforts are on to trace him, he added.

It may be mentioned here that an additional district and sessions court here on Friday rejected the advance bail plea by Mr. Shenoy.

The order was passed by II Additional District and Sessions Judge Sarvottam Shettigar. Public Prosecutor Shekhar Shetty had objected to the advance bail plea stating that the suspect was an influential person and there was every possibility of he tampering with the evidence and witnesses if given bail.

The prosecution had also argued that the suspect should have presented himself before the police to help the investigation. However, he has been absconding since the time of murder, the prosecution said.

Kalaburagi, Feb 16: Fourteen years of life in jail has not deterred Subhash Patil from fulfilling his dream of becoming a doctor.

The 40-year-old man from Afzalpura in Karnataka's Kalaburagi was put behind bars in a murder case while doing MBBS in 1997.

Speaking to media, Patil said, "I joined MBBS in 1997. But, I was jailed in a murder case in 2002. I worked at the jail's OPD and was released in 2016 for good conduct. I completed my MBBS in 2019."

Earlier this month, Patil completed a one-year mandatory internship for getting the MBBS course degree.

Police arrested Patil in 2002 in a murder case when he was in his third year of MBBS course. A court sentenced him to life imprisonment in 2006.

He was put behind bars but he did not give up his childhood dream of becoming a doctor.

In 2016, police released Patil on Independence day for his good conduct.

Bengaluru, Jul 3: The Karnataka government is allowing select asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic Covid-19 patients to recuperate at home as part of home isolation guidelines, an official said on Friday.

"Only those who are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic shall be allowed to be in isolation at home," said a health official, highlighting that such patients should be properly oriented on home isolation.

However, before home isolation, a health team will visit the patient's house and assess its suitability for executing home isolation.

Similarly, the patient should be provided with a tele-consultation link for initial triage, daily follow up and during the entire home isolation time.

For a daily update, the patient isolated at home should give a report on his health status to the physician or health authorities.

"The home isolation shall be with the knowledge of the family members, neighbours, treating physician and local health authorities," said the official.

Though home isolation is allowed, it is not a blanket permission for all asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic cases in Karnataka to avail.

"Such cases should have the requisite facility at their residence for self-isolation and also for quarantining the family contacts. A care giver should be available to provide care on 24x7 basis," said the official.

Likewise, the caregiver should also have a regular communication link between him and the hospital during the home isolation.

No patient above 50 years will be allowed to avail home isolation.

"If the patient has the following comorbidities: hypertension, diabetes, obesity, thyroid disease, they shall be well managed and under good clinical control as assessed by medical officer," he said.

However, patients with comorbidities such as kidney diseases, dialysis, heart diseases, stroke, tuberculosis, cancer and HIV cannot avail home isolation.

Likewise, immunity compromised patients and those on steroids also cannot be on home isolation.

Though pregnant women are not allowed to avail this facility, lactating women are allowed after due instruction and assessment.

The Health Department has also issued several other guidelines and protocols for a patient choosing home isolation.
