May 5: Following the rape-murder of Jisha in Kerala, actor Priya Mani has sparked off a controversy on the microblogging site Twitter by urging women in India to leave the country.

Reacting to the Bengaluru abduction and Kerala rape incidents, the 31-year-old actor tweeted, "Appalled and shocked to read about yet another tragic rape and murder! i don't think India is safe anymore for women #JusticeForJisha".

Twitterati started reacting to her tweets, and while some called her "Aamir Khan's sister", some asked her to get out of the country, and some others took a hit at her glamourous scenes in films.

Later, the actor came up with an explanation: "I have only expressed my feelings towards the untoward incidents which have occurred and r still occurring!how is this anti India??READ!!"

Priya Mani also tweeted about being called "anti-Indian" by some.

Jisha was a 28-year-old LLB student who was allegedly subjected to rape and brutal assault before being murdered in Perumbavoor of Ernakulam district.

The crime has been dubbed as 'Kerala's Nirbhaya' for its chilling similarities to the gangrape incident of a paramedic student in Delhi in 2012.

These are not anti India statements, but view it as feeling of expression on helpless situation.. Amir khan also expressed same feelings....Mothers express such words towards their children , if they are frustrated by saying \ I will throw you out of my home' or ' I will throw you to fox' etc ... nobody feel any mother will do such things to her child...."

She is concerned about India...once it was good...now going bad to worst...very bad...sometimes our politicians are also supporting rapists...that is very very bad....law should be enacted to get highest punishment to criminals...should show no mercy at all....

Nobody wants to go out from India...it is a best country...it is our job to protest when there is discrimination happening around...criminal activity going unabated....no criminals should let go freely...

Mangaluru, May 18: The coastal city of Mangaluru and other parts of twin districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi are receiving heavy rain coupled with lightning and thunder.

The rain, which started in the wee hours, continued to lash for hours. It brought much relief from the sweltering heat.

Waterlogged roads in different parts of Mangaluru cause inconvenience to motorists. The clouds were so dark that the drivers were forced to switch on the headlights while driving vehicles in the morning.

The IMD has predicted heavy rain in the coastal Karnataka for next two days.

Lighting claims a life

Meanwhile, a youth died after lightning struck him at Paduyenagudde in Katpadi of Udupi district on Sunday late night. The deceased was identified as Bharat. Though he was rushed to the hospital, he failed to respond to the treatment.
