Rajesh Karvi, 30, an executive with an advertisement agency, allegedly posed as a journalist and tried to extort money from a private school management claiming that his son was sexually abused at the institution.

A resident of Ramamandira Road, Kodigehalli Main Road, Karvi has been arrested for misusing the provisions of the Pocso Act, that deals with crimes against children, for wrongful gain and at the cost of his son’s reputation. His son studies in LKG at Radhakrishna Public School, Basaveshwaranagar Extension, Nagashettyhalli.

Karvi, who earlier worked with a Kannada magazine, had recently joined an advertisement agency.

Acquainted with a series of sexual assault cases involving children in school campuses in the City, and laws that safeguard children’s rights, he decided to cook up a story.

Karvi met the school headmistress Sunitha a week ago and claimed that a school staffer had sexually abused his son. A shocked Sunitha promised to look into the matter and conducted an internal inquiry. However, she quickly learnt that no such incident had ever taken place in the school premises, police said.

Karvi also contacted some office-bearers of the school management and claimed that his son had became a victim of sexual abuse by a school staffer. He frequently contacted the management and headmistress and threatened to leak the news to media.

The management, however, requested him not to indulge in such acts as it would tarnish the school’s reputation. However, Karvi continued to threaten the management.

He also alleged that the management had failed to implement children’s safety guidelines, issued by the City police commissioner recently.?The school management once again conducted an internal inquiry and established that no such incident had taken place in the school. The details regarding the day, date, place and timing of the act did not match with the actual facts, police said.

However, Karvi kept pressurising the management and demanded Rs two lakh to hush up the matter.?The management office-bearers became alert and directed the headmistress to approach Sanjaynagar police. After a bargain, Rajesh settled down for Rs 1.5 lakh, said the police who decided to trap him.

On Monday, Karvi went to the school in the afternoon to collect Rs 1.5 lakh. He was caught red-handed while receiving Rs 1 lakh from Sunitha, police said.

Preliminary investigation revealed that Rajesh was a first-time offender. The police are also interrogating him to know whether he was involved in any other extortion case.

Jaipur, Mar 18: Initially buried as per Islamic traditions, an unidentified man's body was exhumed and later cremated after he was found to be a Hindu in Rajasthan's Tonk district, police said.

The family members identified the body of Mahaveer Sahu on Tuesday, a day after the burial, as they stumbled upon photos of the deceased that had circulated on social media.

The man was brought to a government hospital by locals in an unconscious state on March 12 and he died on March 13, according to Purani Tonk police station SHO Shivlal.

The man was said to be a liquor addict and was found unconscious on the road, he added.

The body was kept at the mortuary for three days awaiting identification. Despite efforts to trace the next of kin, the identity could not be ascertained and members of Hindu and Muslim communities were brought in to take a decision, Shivlal said.

The community leaders presumed that he was a Muslim after examining the body and the burial took place as per Islamic funeral traditions on Monday, he added.

Meanwhile, Sahu's family members saw the photo of his body that had circulated on a WhatsAapp group and identified him later that day. They rushed to the hospital and then to the police station in the night where they were informed that the body had been buried.

“The body was exhumed with permission from the sub-divisional magistrate on Tuesday and handed over to the family members after proper identification. Members of the Muslim community led by an Imam were also present and gave in writing that they have no objection,” Shivlal said.

The body was later cremated by his family members.
