Mangaluru, Oct 6: The additional chief judicial magistrate (ACJM) court has served warrant to RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat in connection with the suicide of Shyam Prasad Shastry of Kedila village in Puttur.

The court also has issued a summon to Ramachandrapura Mutt seer Raghaveshwara Bharati, and another warrant to Puttur Havyaka Valaya Bonantaya president Shiva Shankara Bhat, on Friday, and the hearing for the same will be held on October 31.

Last week, The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) filed a chargesheet against Ramachandrapura Mutt seer Raghaveshwara Bharati, RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat and Puttur Havyaka Valaya Bonantaya president Shiva Shankara Bhat in connection with a suicide that took place in 2014.

The trio has been charged under IPC Sections 306 (abettment to suicide) and 506 (criminal intimidation).

The victim Shyam Prasad Shastry is the brother-in-law of a singer, who alleged that seer Raghaveshwara Bharati had sexually abused her. Later, there were allegations that the singer and her husband had been blackmailing the seer, and hence the Honnavar police had arrested them. Following this, the trio allegedly issued Shastry threats. Following Shastry’s death, his wife Lakshmi had filed a police complaint in this connection.

Shastry had recorded the phone conversation and these had been handed over to the police. The case was initially probed by the police at Puttur Town station and later handed over to the CID.

Bengaluru, May 1: As Mumbai link surfacing in some COVID-19 cases in Mandya district in Karnataka, JDS leader and former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Friday blamed the district administration for the situation, accusing it of not quarantining 7,000 labourers who 'returned' from the Maharashtra capital.

"The information we have is that there are about 16,000 labourers from Mandya were working in Mumbai of which 7,000 people reached the district. None of them was quarantined properly," Kumaraswamy told reporters in Bengaluru.

He claimed the district, a stronghold of JDS, was staring at a major spurt in cases due to the careless attitude of the district administration. "Government should initiate action against those who are responsible for the laxity," he said.

However, he did not specify when the 7,000 workers returned to Mandya. When asked about Kumaraswamy's claim, officials said they have to verify it. Of the eight cases reported from Mandya on Friday, three had a travel history to Mumbai, a major COVID-19 hotspot in the country, officials said.

A Health Department official said four of the fresh cases were contacts of a patient who tested positive on April 8 and admitted to a hospital. After weeks of coming in contact with him, the four were confirmed for COVID-19, an official said. The Three people with travel history to Mumbai had, in fact, brought the body of a man who died of a heart attack there on April 24, the official added.

Bengaluru, Jul 30: As the protest by Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers entered the 20th day, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu on Wednesday assured them that he would take up their demands with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa.

The ASHA workers are sitting in protests with a number of demands that include a minimum salary of Rs 12,000 per month.

Assuring that their matter will be taken up, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu said while speaking to reporters, "We know how hard ASHA workers have been working as frontline warriors in the fight against COVID-19. I will discuss with CM about their demand for a minimum wage of Rs 12,000 per month and the final decision will be taken soon."

"We went to the police to allow us to protest. Officials then took us to the CM. During the meeting, he demanded some time to sort out our issues. 

We told him we are protesting for the past 20 days and that it was he who needs to call a meeting with us. Only then will he know the problems being faced by ASHA workers," an ASHA worker said clad in her signature pink sari.

"When asked as to why salaries of ASHA workers were not hiked, while it was done for doctors and other healthcare officials, the CM requested for time to look into the matter. 

We are not much happy now, but will if he comes in front of the media and promises to sort out our issues, then we will listen to him", she added.
