Mangaluru, Oct 23: School teacher-turned-serial killer Mohan, aka Cyanide Mohan has been convicted for the murder of another woman hailing from Dakshina Kannada in Bengaluru.

Sixth additional district and sessions judge Sayeedunnisa convicted the 56-year-old Mohan on Tuesday, and the quantum of punishment will be pronounced on Thursday. With this, Mohan has been convicted in 17 cases, and trials are on in three more cases.

Public prosecutor Judith O M Crasta said Mohan met the victim, an anganwadi assistant, at Balepuni in Bantwal taluk in October 2005. Mohan introduced himself to the victim as Anand, and befriended her, saying that he also belonged to the same caste as her.

On October 21, 2005, Mohan took the victim to Bengaluru, promising to marry her. She had left home informing her family that she was going to Sringeri on a tour with friends. Both of them checked into Hotel Shabari Gate near the Kempegowda Bus Stand (KBS) in Bengaluru.

Mohan had sex with the victim and the next day took her to bus stand, leaving her gold ornaments in the hotel room. Mohan asked her to take a tablet, which was laced with cyanide, making her believe that it was a contraceptive pill. She went to the toilet on the platform number 1 of the bus stand and died after consuming the tablet. In the meantime, Mohan went to the hotel room and fled with the gold ornaments of the victim, Crasta said.

An unnatural death report (UDR) was registered at the Upparpet police station in Bengaluru. Meanwhile, a missing complaint was filed by her family members at Konaje police station in Mangaluru. Statements of a witness, who was the president of the anganwadi monitoring and support committee, and the UDR by the police, helped the prosecution to prove the charges against Mohan.

The witness also succeeded in identifying Mohan in an identification parade conducted in the presence of a tahsildar in jail. The UDR had made mention of cyanide as the cause of death. The court also took statements from Dr C M Sumangala from Victoria Hospital in Bengaluru. Further, the ornaments of the victims were also recovered. Though the case was initially taken up by theKonaje police, it was later handed over to the CID. On March 2010, CID Inspector Waseer Sahib filed a chargesheet against Mohan.

“The court examined 41 witnesses and 67 documents during the trial and found Mohan guilty of offences committed under IPC sections 366 (abduction), 417 (cheating), 376 (rape), 328 (causing hurt by means of poison, etc), 392 (robbery), 394 (voluntarily causing hurt in committing robbery), 302 (murder) and 201 (destroying evidence),” Crasta said.

Mohan was arrested by Bantwal Rural police in a rape and murder case on September 21, 2009. Though he was awarded the death penalty in three cases, the verdict in one case was commuted to life and another for five years’ imprisonment.

Mangaluru, Jan 11: A large number of people from the Women India Movement on Saturday staged a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) here and raised slogans denouncing the newly enacted law.

Protestors were seen carrying placards that read, 'Stop diving India, Boycott CAA, NRC, NPR', 'We are humans, not criminals', 'Save India from fascism'.

"Today's youths are tomorrow's future. The present leaders are scared by the youths and are trying to wipe us out. They are scared of the students because they are raising their voices," a protestor told media.

"It started with the triple talaq, then the removal of Article 370 and Babri Masjid verdict. We Muslims kept quiet but now it is a question to our Constitution. We are not here as Muslims but as an Indian Citizen protesting against the cruelty of the BJP government," she added.

The protestor said the Central government is trying to make India a Hindu Rashtra by wiping out all other communities.

"This fascist government is trying to poison the minds of Hindus against the Muslims. After Muslims, there will be the Christian community and then other communities. The main motive of the government is to only keep Brahmins in India," added the protestor.

The newly-enacted law grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist, and Christian refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Bengaluru, Jul 17: Karnataka Minister for Health and Family Welfare B Sriramulu on Thursday clarified that his remarks have been misinterpreted, wherein he apparently said that ''only God can save people from Covid''.

The Bharatiya Janata Party leader slammed KPCC President D K Shivakumar for spreading false information and said that my words were not meant to cause panic among the masses.

''Respected Shivakumar, this is a clarification regarding my words that have been misinterpreted and misunderstood.

While responding to claims of the opposition that the government’s negligence, irresponsibility and the lack of coordination among ministers are responsible for the rise in cases in the state, I stated that ‘these accusations are far from the truth. People need to be aware and cautious to avoid the spread of the virus. This plays a vital role in controlling the pandemic. If we fail at this crucial step the situation can get complicated. And if things go worse, then only God can save us'', Mr Sriramulu said in a series of posts on Twitter
